Hi, now that is has been a little while since the scale of 1-5 came out for transformers, has there yet to be an actual Transformer labelled 5? Leader Starscream is level 4 advanced. Do they give a scale for the masterpiece figures? I ask because I have yet the means to own one.

Just noticed HTFD Optimus (the same ROTF mold) is a 5 so that answers my question

The "difficulty level" is nothing but a joke. Generally speaking, all they did was emphasize the difficulty of the Price Point overall:

Legends: 1
Scouts: 2
Deluxe: 3
Voyager 4
Leader: 5

What's more pathetic is that now we only have 3 levels between Cyberverse (level 1), Deluxe and Voyager (Level 2)... OK, who are Level 3?

Haven't Hasbro recently reclassifed the difficulty levels 1-3?

All I know is there's a HUGE difference between the difficulties of, say, the Classics Seekers, and that of most of the Movieverse cars, yet they had the same difficulty level.

I am actually going to have to retract a comment I said earlier. HFTD Battle Blades Optimus is NOT a 5. WHAT?!?!?!?!!? I couldnt believe it, but indeed the box has him as a 4.

So I still wonder, who is a level 5? Can it only be MP-05 (see what I did there?)

RotF Prime and Jetfire both have 4, the highest at the time (it ran from 1-4, and not 0-5).

I know but for the time that it did go to 5, was there any transformer that was given that level?

Its retool HtfD Optimus Prime. The Leader, not the Voyager. His wave mate Leader Starscream got a 4 however.

Ah, I just got my mistake. So it turns out I had nothing to take back from what I said much earlier on. He's the only one ever then to get a 5?

Thanks!
