This.

We're already painfully getting a Voyager Bumblebee in the Prime toyline, I wouldn't put it past them to do it in the FoC line either. I'm not one to complain about saturation of a character that isn't Bumblebee, but whatever... as it was said, complaining will get us nowhere.

I thought the abomination was a leader-class bee :/
Neither Leader nor Voyager for BB. Weaponizers is a whole new class of its own.

I'm sure it'll be called leaders on the box, just like the Powerizers are still labeled Voyagers on the box, but still called Powerizers according to Hasbro.

Nope. It's the sole exception. "Powerizers" and "Revealers" turned out to be unofficial in-house terms for "Voyager" and "Deluxe" each, but "Weaponizers" is the real deal. It's even priced differently from Leader class figures ($30 instead of $45).

Which leads us to the conclusion that Weaponizers are Ultra/Human Alliance sized.

Though, despite being about fifteen bucks cheaper, they're still roughly the same size as a typical modern day Leader class toy. Go figure.

I dunno, the samples at Botcon didn't look that big. Maybe the pictures were lying.

I'm gonna just leave the scale factor to the collectors who actually care about it,I could care less about how big the transformer is.

If Soundblaster is taller the WFC soundwave,then I'll just consider SB to be the younger but bulkier brother to SW.

They're both Voyagers and the same mold, so they'd be the same height as each other.

Or, are you only getting Soundblaster? Then you'll miss out on Laserbeak.

No I have the deluxe wfc soundwave already. I was saying that I don't really care about what size the updated mold is,as long I get something soundwave-ish.

Yes I'm going to pick up soundblaster. I already have a soundwave so the idea of picking up an almost exact replica of the original seems redundant to me. Plus I missed out on galaxy force SB so I'm trying to fill in the gap.

Since FoC is a prequel story, I'm guessin' that the gun originally belongs to Soundwave, but got taken by Optimus as a trophy after a fierce, brutal battle between the two. That'll explain why it's included with this Soundwave figure.

That's right kids, the heroic and righteous Optimus Prime might be a thief.

But WFC and FOC are prequels to TFPrime, and Prime Prime does not have that gun.

Wrong continuity. :-B

WFC and Prime (as well as all current lines out) are part of the Aligned continuity, no ties to any other previous continuities.

They're different universes, but of the same universal stream. WFC and FoC are not prequels.

I don't see any room for wrist articulation.

Soundblaster's wrists are clearly in different positions.

That's cool, but how much articulation are they capable of? That's what I want to know.

360 degree swivel joints for the hands and upper arms.
