Nuclearxpotato wrote:Have we considered that maybe Studio Series and WFC have their own individual figure budgets? Due to the complexity of the usual Studio Series crowd, SS may have a slightly bigger budget for each figure. That could explain why characters such as Grimlock and Slug come with tub-bound accessories nearly-static minifigures and still manage to be large.
If there's different budgets, then maybe there's reasons why certain characters were put in WFC or SS86.

Also aside from shoulders, Cape and crown, (possibly paint) he's identical to ER Screamer (whose reissue in Kingdom is supposedly getting short packed to help ensure there's not a Screamer clogging up shelves...how leakers find these things out is beyond me). Unless things change, he won't even get a new head.

If this is true, then:
Way to REALLY piss off both sides of the fandom Hasbro. Sticking a voyager with stupid throne extras at leader in SS means an even longer wait for the G1 dinobots who are already pushing back the movie dinobots.

Did you really expected all the Dinobots to come out in one go?
How naive....

As sensible is cramming G1 into the live movie line was?
Think it was said that the cape is articulated in some way too, so there's a bit more for the parts count bumping it up to Leader.ZeroWolf wrote:So latest rumours are that Starscream is getting bumped up to leader class thanks to a throne extra.
