Standardized size classes didn't appear until the Beast Wars, and they were revised for Armada and beyond, with each line having some new name for each class. Here are the old and new scales, plus their retail prices. Aside from the Micro/Legends Class, the names of the new class are in Armada -> Energon -> Cybertron order:

Old scale
Basic: $6.99
Deluxe: $9.99
Mega: $14.99
Ultra: $19.99
Super: $29.99
Supreme: $49.99

New scale
Micro/Legends Class: $4.99
Mini-Con/Energon/Scout Class: $6.99
Super-Con/Combat/Deluxe Class: $9.99
Max-Con/Mega Combat/Voyager Class: $19.99
Giga-Con/Command/Ultra Class: $24.99
Super Base/Leader Class: $39.99
Chaos Bringer/Supreme Class: $49.99

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to figure out what class my old G2 stuff are in, and most seem to be basic.

That would be true. Hasbro took some effort of sizing some pre-Beast Wars mold into the current scales. Here are some little guidelines:

- Laser Optimus Prime is a Super (old scale), based on RiD Scourge.
- Cyberjets and Flipchangers (spingloaded TF's) are basics, based on the "2 basics = 1 deluxe" rule of the various 2-packs.
- Spychangers/Go-Bots are what I'd call "half-basics", as a 2-pack of them would be sold at the Basic price point.
- Hero figures (with the air bellows) are Deluxe sized, based on RiD Destructicons Scourge and Bludgeon.
