Does anyone else but me prefer they had made them deluxe size?
Springer, blitz wing, astro train and blaster are all figures Ive wanted badly for my collection, but they will not look right in voyager size.
Im going to get them anyway ofcourse. Theyre too sweet not to but I just wish theyd offer a deluxe size as well.
Now grimlock needed to be voyager. They should have made magnus, prime and starscream voyagers and kept springer, blitzwing, blaster and astro train deluxe.
I also wish theyd come out with a full set of voyager seekers. I saw a foc skywarp voyager pic and hope that they will go ahead and release a screamer and cracker as well. Perhaps even give us the cone heads. That would be great!
Ofcourse thats just my opinion.
I realize Im more or less nit picking. Im stoked that were getting these classics figures. I just wish my collection looked more size accurate.
Take care!!

SW/Blaster and Blaster are voyagers by necessity for the gimmick.
The FoC seeker mold is deluxe size.
Triple changers are hard enough to do, so no, I don't think a deluxe scale version would be feasible, for Blitzwing at least. We've seen proof that a deluxe-scale Springer can work fine...but only because Springer's car mode has always basically been a helicopter with four wheels.
We've had deluxe-scale triple changers before...and they're questionable at best. Lookin' at you, Octane. Astrotrain's train mode came out a bit derpy as well.

I think you have to forgo the norm when it comes to FOC. Honestly I have a hard time believing that Shockwave is that small, Soundwave overtowers Ultra Magnus and what not, but I just push that..... I believe button. I have given up on "scale" and am content if they are "decent" representations of the character now a days.

But I hear (and agree with) what your saying, I just have to take what they offer us....or nothing.

I kinda liked octane. I really liked astrotrain.
I hear you though about the tripple changers. I can see where it would be alot easier to make them a bit larger.
blaster and soundwave though I would have been glad to forgo a working gimic to have them delux if it would have gotten me a voyager foc magnus and screamer.

Its mostly about the kids though. I get it.I just cant help but crave accurate scale.

LOL That has to be a hard button to push my friend. Ive been trying to come to terms with the fluctuating scale issues but its hard.
Ive gotta hold out hope for a delux blaster to go with my delux soundwave or ill be sick.
You cant have megatron going about in a shorter form then soundwave now and prime/magnus going around smaller than....well.....everyone if were talking foc prime LOL. Goodness its a mess yeah?
gOODNESS

Have we gotten any pictures of FOC Astrotrain? Aside from the info a week or so ago that named Springer and Astrotrain....is Blitzwing taking Astrotrains' place now?

I havnt seen astrotrain yet but I saw blitzwing. He didnt have wings on his back though and I dont think I say the big ole cannon poking up from his back. Those two things are what really made blitzwing stand out to me.
I.D.K. If blitxy is replacing astrotrain though. Seems like they wouldnt have had time ti nix astrotrain and mold a new blitswing all in a few days though. Unless they are planning to release both and simply changed the order in which thet are to be released for some reason.
If I had to choose though Id pick blitzwing simply because I have a delux astrotrain already.

i absolutely love the fact that the triple changers are voyager size, couldnt really see it work as a deluxe. if they were deluxe i wouldnt even consider getting them so bring on the voyager triple changers

Like the guy said, it doesn't really work as a deluxe. At least not as well as it could.

Well, what makes a Triple Changer work for you guys?
