nah, I detest larger figures.

After seeing figures like 08 BB and the Classics deluxes, it shows you how much can go into something so small. Plus I lament sound effects.

I prefer it when tfs are more in robot modescale with each other. So Prime and Megs shouldn't really be that much bigger than deluxes for me.

Sure, you could make all deluxe figures into Voyager class ones, but I'm hard enough on finding cash for them as is without adding an extra £10 to each of them.

Well that's what i liked about the Classics, no stupid lights and sounds ore key ore minicrapies activated stuff!

Well the money's always a problem, but I'de love a big Grimlock!

Yeah, Grimlock shoulda been a Voyager figure. It woulda made more sense considering his alt mode, and his position as Dinobot commander.

And don't speak to soon! Expect Lotsa eletronics and lights in the 4 ultra figures!

4 Ultra figs? WHo are they?
As long as they arn't as bad as most of the lights and sounds they may be good, like laser pointers ore something...

Well, supposedly Galvatron and Ultra Magnus are two. No clue about the other two, Hasbro aren't letting out much in the way of info.

They confirmed a new Magnus, but didn't specify if it would be Animated or Classics.

And Galvatron was stated as Classics2.0/Universe.

I don't think we know Magnus is one, but Galvatron's confirmed. Octane's another.

And I agree that upgrading all the figs to Voyagers and larger would be hideous, as I find 'em hard enough to find the scratch for as is - kids would be completely out of the loop; no parent would pay for a toyline where the cheapest fig is 20 quid!
I'm dubious about their replacing Voyagers with Ultras. Fair enough, bring in the Ultras, but not at the expense of the Voyager class; I don't see what they gain in scrapping an entire price point. Their argument seems to be that there wasn't enough size difference between the two to be worth differentiating. There really is...
