The latest voyagers actually getting larger?

Motto: "It doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty, only that you work to make it full."
Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
Is it just my imagination, or are the more recent Voyager class figures (like FoC Soundwave or Prime Ultra Magnus) actually getting larger, almost to the size of the Transformers:Cybertron (aka Galaxy Force) Voyagers?

In the recent video review of Beast Hunters Prime, he appeared to be larger than Prime Prime.

Maybe it's because they're not wasting resources on stupid mech-tech style weapons with LED lights and batteries.

I've heard through the rumour grapevine that Hasbro has started actually taking Collector Complains more seriously now. I wonder if this is the start of it?

Though we still have Beast Hunter deluxe figures so maybe not...

Those come with bigger weapons and appear to have a load of extra plastic molded on.

Whenever someone mentions something "getting larger", I always think of this scene from Airplane:

I noticed about the difference, too and I really hope they keep it this way. Recently I just opened FOC Air Raid. He is a retool of Shockwave so size and mass aren't too much different. But, weapons aside, I was really amazed at the paint apps they put on him comparing to the early FOC waves and Prime figures. It's so much better. Although I'm still going to repaint him, I'd said Hasbro did a really good job. I also have an unopened FOC Kickback, he looks really nice in the box. Also bought BH Laserback for a friend, the package is so much thicker (you can say it's the way they pack it) and Laserback actually looks "bigger". Maybe people who opened Laserack can tell more. Let's just hope Hasbro keep it this way.

Oh, you're in for a treat when you open Kickback! I mentioned in another thread that it's hard to believe he comes from the same line as FoC Jazz. The different is incredible. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were different lines or even different classes.
