Voyager Optimus Prime and Bulkhead, along with Deluxe Cliffjumper are superior to the RID releases, with the first two having more show-accurate aesthetically pleasing robot modes and Cliffjumper actually using his alt mode parts for his robot mode (instead of the faux kibble the RID release has)
Deluxe Arcee, Vehicon and Megatron got better figures in the RID line, with Megatron being upgraded to a bigger size class, the Vehicon getting a near-kibble free robot mode and Arcee being more show-accurate. Bumblebee is just about on par with his previous release, having different pros and cons. Starscream is up to debate. The first one is too small, but has better robot mode proportions and articulation, while the larger one has a better jet mode and more gimmicks.

Wait, what?! It's a Deluxe, and is in better scale with pretty much everyone compared to the Giraffe that is Voyager Screamer. However, the Voyager had a better jet mode.

Um, what? PRID bee is SMALLER than FE Bee, and features a more streamlined transformation. It is arguably the better figure. The bit behind the head is a bit annoying, but not a deal-breaker.

If I pick from the best of the liter, I just don't want to have unproportioned figures standing next to each other.
Are the firgures from the FE THAT much bigger/taller than the PRID?

Here are comparisons. They're all the same size class except for Megatron and Starscream
(FE on right, PRiD on left)
(FEs on left, PRiDs on right)
For more information and comparisons, you can always check out our toy galleries.

Wow, that was an enormous help, thank you!
I've watched a few reviews too, and I notice that some people speak highly of the transformations for the FE class over the PRID class.
Anyone want to weigh in on that?

Far superior to the PRiD figure, he's larger, better colors, sturdier, more accurate transformation (smokestacks, wheels)
