And I tottaly missed the info about the 40+ Generations... see, this is where I will find it hard to save for 3rd party figures, hehe.

If you buy 3rd party stuff, the terrorist win.

Man, Bulkhead looks awesome and show accurate from the feet up to his waist, then it all comes crumbling down.
Seriously, those legs on him look awesome, they even incorporate the wheels just like the show model, but damn the rest of him looks awful.

I am the terrorist.

PRAISE PRIMUS!

Turns out this isn't entirely true. The official names are still "Deluxe Class" and "Voyager Class", while "Revealers" and "Powerizers" were internal names Hasbro was using to refer to each class's gimmick. The names weren't meant to be applied to the size classes themselves, but the names got mentioned on some documents and one thing led to another and so now we got people incorrectly calling the size classes by those internal names. They are still "Deluxe" and "Voyager" as you'll notice that nowhere on the toys' packaging are the terms "Revealer" or "Powerizer" to be found.


HOWEVER, "Weaponizer" is indeed a new price point, being Leader class-sized, but still its own thing. I wouldn't count them as actual Leader Class figures, but more like a new size class of similar scale to the Leader class (like Battle Ops Bumblebee was). Not to mention how they're priced at $29.99, which is lower than the Leader price.

Oh thank Primus. Bruticus' official pics are NOT the candy colored ones.

I'm liking the WFC line, especially Shockwave. He was MADE for this line since his alt was always cybertronian (FYI my TF upbringing was on the G1 cartoon) so this pretty much is his Classics-verse toy.

Since I see no wheels, I'm assuming he's a "gunship" and that is awesome (Nausicaa has taught me so)! Not only is it a natural solution to roleplay gun modes both among toy vehicles, but it ties in with the dude's fiction. Awesome bit with Bruticus aside, I recall there was also a scene he used it against the female autobots. He didn't size change, and could inexplicably float and fire on his own. Even back then I thought it painfully hamfisted, but a gunship covers all those bases.

Picky, picky... And wasn't $25-$30 the original Ultra Price Point?

I'm just pointing out that Toy Fair finally gave us some clarification on this, in that Deluxe and Voyager are not being renamed after all.

It's varied over the years.

Though, Human Alliance (non-Basic) was the most recent $30 price point.
