ROTF Voyager action figures - wave 3 & wave 3 rev 1-2

The following highly anticipated next wave of Transformers movie sequel - Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) toys are expected to be available at our local retailers from this week! 

Voyager Class (SGD 51.90 each):

ROTF Voyager action figures - Grindor.

Wave 3: Grindor.

Grindor is a repaint of Blackout from Transformers The Movie (TFTM).  I think he looks more striking in light grey color that contrast better with the black points!  Little Scorponok that comes with Grindor in now black in color with some silver details.  I’m looking forward to seeing this Decepticon in person!

ROTF Voyager action figures - Long Haul.

Wave 3: Long Haul.

Another long awaited ROTF Constructicon member is coming to our local retail stores soon!  In reality, this kind of dumpster truck is huge!  I mean look at the ‘puny’ size of the cabin compared to the rest of the truck!  It must be used for some enormous size projects like excavating mines or something!  Long Haul shares a common trait with Grindor, in that both their robot modes carry a large ‘back pack’ that are higher than their heads!  No wonder they are in the same wave, LOL! 

I expect Grindor to have a slight edge over Long Haul in terms of popularity, but the end results could go the other way.  Both of them look really good and should be in the radar of many fans and collectors.  Both Decepticons look quite cool in the ROTF movie, despite their limited screen time.  Sometimes you need to see these ROTF toys in person to decide if they are worth adding to your collections.  Till then, happy ROTF toy hunting!

    Grindor look nicer than blackout actually. Maybe becos blackout was not in grossy black.

    I like Long haul vehicle design. Come to think of it, the movie construction vehicle so far to me look good. Robot mode doesn’t really appeal to me much tho.

    Hello Juliana, long time I haven’t commented here!

    I now have both grindor and Longhaul, they are really good figures!

    The color of Grindor is better than blackouts!

    Long Haul is nice and green, and powerful looking! and nice swords too!

    Hi LEon,

    I like Grindor’s colors a lot. Someday I might pick up the Jap version of Blackout which is very dark grey, almost like black color, at the right price :)

    Long Haul looks more ’solid’ in built and not curved and ’soft’ looking like Mixmaster in robot mode. He’s got quite good online reviews too :D

    Grindor looks great beside Voyagers Megatron and Starscream, then pose them fighting with Voyager Prime!

    Hi Nicolai,

    No, no more temptations :P

    Hehe, I am indeed intending to get Grindor to pose with the other 3 for that forest fight scene :D

    Long Haul will be more popular, Grindor is a repaint. If you read TF forums, many people are anticipating Long Haul.
