Got it today from Australia. That was quick!
ALTERNATE MODE
Chopper from the beginning of the movie. Feels nice and solid (at least more than Blackout), has a good weight to it. You can flip out 3 little wheels from underneath to roll it around. You can activate both rotors by pulling repeatedly on the round lever located on the tail. Similar to Blackout (spin-stop-spin-stop). A mix of light and dark grey with some black (faction symbol on top +arrows on cockpit) and allspark blue (gimmick activator) paint apps. Some purple and blue arm bits are visible in this mode, but it's not that bad. Oh, and there are 2 little seats molded in the cockpit.
TRANSFORMATION
Fairly easy. Unfold the legs from underneath (and waist/legs assembly will move forward since it's spring-loaded), move the panels covering the thighs down (the outside ones look floppy at first but they lock with a tab on a tiny square located on the lower leg), flip up the feet, movie the arms into position and fold down the cockpit to reveal the head and activate the automorph gimmick : as you push the cockpit against the "spine" to which the backpack and arms are attache, the cockpit splits in 2 and the halves move outward. You lock the front on the cockpit on the waist and you're done!
ROBOT MODE
A lot of mechanical details throughout that unfortunately go unnoticed with lack of proper paint apps. Some more purple brought in the mix and a lot of the allspark blue as well (head, shoulders, arms, chest, upper legs, lower legs, etc.). Head has clear lightpiping with a clear visor, a little faction symbol on the forehead and some allspark blue paint apps added in the mix. Really good headsculpt in the style of Energon Landmine I would say. If you look closely, it looks like Incinerator is smiling sarcastically.
Incinerator can be posed quite decently despite the dragging tail. You get poseability at the head (ball joint), shoulders (fore and aft + swivel), upper arms (up and down + swivel), elbows, upper legs (fore and aft click joints + side to side), knees (standard joints + swivel) and feet.
The gimmick still works in robot mode. A lot of fans were bothered by the lack of proper hands, but I can't care less myself, Incinerator is ready to chop autobot metal! Compared to the other Voyager, I wouldn't say he's the best, but he's certainly better than Blackout imo. Feels more solid.
PROS :
Feels solid in alternator mode.
Imposing.
Gimmick (both modes).
Good headsculpt.
Automorph gimmick.
Poseability.
CONS :
Outside leg panels tend to pop out of position if you try to pose the legs.
Could have used more paint apps.
No hands.
Backpack.

Grimlock_13 : more than a year after its release Classics Disastrotrain still sucks. Real bad. ;)
Matrix Soul : yes, the rotors can be rotated forward, I just forgot to show it in my pictures.
