I've never been a fan of using ranks to describe a toy class, I think it's dumb that we're still using "Voyager" when it hasn't meant anything since 2005. Not all Leader class figures are leaders, not all Commander class figures are going to be commanders, and not all Titans are giant cities. I like Core, it sounds small, but also like it's important and central to the line. Deluxe is good, it sounds more complex than Core and like we're getting more for our money no matter what size the figure is.
Why does Cyberverse get the meaningful descriptive classes like 1 Step, Deluxe, Ultra, Ultimate and whatnot, but the line that skews a little older (but still sold to kids) gets these ridiculous, meaningless names based on arbitrary ranks that don't mean anything. I feel bad for the parents that have to sort all this out between toy lines.
I say keep it simple in Generations. Core, Deluxe, Mega (Voyager), Ultra (Leader), Ultimate (Commander), Supreme (Titan). They all sound more impressive than the last, says nothing about their size (why is a Commander more impressive than a Leader, surely the guy in charge should have the best figure), and doesn't use ranks that the character in the box probably doesn't hold. To me this is the most idea way to do things.
