From smallest to biggest, it goes like this right?

Scout
Deluxe
Voyager
Leader
Ultra
Super

I'm just wondering why the movie line hasn't released any bigger classes than Leader. We've already seen Ultra and Supreme classes before, why is Hasbro holding back? They don't want the movie line to be more epic?

your close but here is the corrected list for the current size classes

Scout
Deluxe
Voyager
Ultra
Leader
Supreme

These are what the current size classes are sometimes they may change their names (like in beast wars a voyager was called a mega) or they may add or take away a size class like in beast wars with Optimal Optimus who was the first transformer at the supreme class price point or with the upcoming classics 2.0 there will no longer be a voyager class for that line.

Ah I see, thanks.

Which figure would be considered ultra class.,

Currently there are no ultras. They aren't using that size class for the movie line. But Energon Scorponok would be one example.

Don't forget Ultimate! That's the size above Supreme, as the price indicates ($49.99 vs. $79.99)

They should really release bigger class sizes for the movie line. I would be all over a Supreme Blackout. Make it happen mr. hasbro.

Firstly Supreme figures do not sell all that well. The last two Supreme figures were from the Cybertron line:
- Supreme Starscream
- Primus
They are fairly expensive figures, costing upwards of AU$120 (with Myers and DJ's charging more like $150).

Here are the AU$ prices for the size classes:
Legends: $6-$8
Scout: $12-$18
Deluxe: $24-$30
Voyager: $45- $55
Ultra: $60-$75
Leader: $88-$100
Supreme: $120-$150

Most of the chain stores (Big W, Target, Kmart) have the lower end prices, Big W and TRU often being the best. The higher prices are the ones form the smaller toystores like Toyworld, and the general rip-off store; David Jones.

We have not had any Ultra's since CD Red Alert, Cyro-Scourge and Skyshadow, most of which were shelfwarmers when they were widely available.

I bought Leader Prime for $90 at toyworld. Big W has them at $88, and the KMart sale had them at an awesome $70.

Target is the worst. Their lowest price was $90 during the toy sale, and the usual retail price there is $100.

Man all I can say is that I'm glad I live in America, and when did Ultimate become a size class I just though that just what Hasbro was calling their most expensive version of bumblebee.

Just a guess. Same thing happened when Supreme Cheetor hit.

I saw a leader prime for $40 at a store and when i went back to get it it was gone. Oh, and voyagers are $20 where i live

Hm, how about add it in term of scale/inch so I can get an idea how big they are

It's not that easy, as Transformers dont really have a "scale" as many fans continually complain about. The size of figures also differs greatly, wider figures are often shorter, and some figures are put into larger size classes, just for the sake of it (Classics Prime for example).

I'm from part of the world that deals in the metric system, so excuse me if my inches/feet are a tad off.

Legends: 2 inches (5cm)
Scout: 3-5 inches (up to 12 cm)
Deluxe: 6-9 inches (up to 18cm)
Voyager: 9-13 inches (up to about 25cm)
Ultra: not sure, they vary so much.
Leader: 12-16 inches, or more. (Usually around 45cm)

The various prices being quoted above are in $AU rather than $US.
