I'm partial to the PCC. I think it would've been better if they sold the weapons alone like mini-con three pics. I wouldn't snapped tons of those up to make all my Classics targetmasters.

Anyway, I'm just glad I passed on HFTD Bumblebee so I could get the better looking DOTM deluxe Bumblebee. At least he's the same size.) One major upside the DOTM toys being smaller though is that Skids and Mudflap can be in better scale with ma collection.
The DotM Deluxe Ratchet is entirely new.
XD AH, hahahahahahaha!!! Um, quick question: IS IT VOYAGER??!! NO!!
How annoying.

Did you happen to ask about those alternate head moulds we keep seeing via instruction sheets?

What prompted your observation here, Counterpunch? Just curious because I'm an active Star Wars collector too.
Autobot Smoketreader wrote:Counterpunch, thanks for all the intel.
May I ask about a size comparison regarding the Dotm and previous line deluxe sizing?
Are the Dotm cars or jets obviously smaller than their Tf1/Rotf and Classics/Generations/HftD cousins when together on the shelf? (In my head, I would treat a car 1cm or more shorter in length than a classics car an obvious difference, since the classics are already smaller than the movie toys).
(My guess is that any cross-line height differeneces in Bot mode wouldn't vary beyond half an inch, as the toys are designed with a final bot height in mind at expense of vehicle scale, if I understand correctly).
Thanks in advance.

They had a VIP event where the various development teams talked about their figures. Out of ANY of the groups, it was the Star Wars guys cracking wise about characters, plot minutia, and how cool their stuff was. I'm a Star Wars fan too and I think maybe they were more knowledgeable than I am about it (which is rare for a rep).

-Those Wal Mart SKUs for Arcee and Starscream-
Those were meant to be the Prime toys. They are NOT Classics style figures. Originally, the Prime toys were going to be fit into the Generations line.

No, but Monzo did. The Hasbro guys knew what was happening with those and asked if we liked it. I have no doubt that we'll see a Wreck-gar head remold in the Western markets.

They toys are starkly different at the Voyager class. They are absolutely out of scale with your previous stuff. Megatron is very very small. Ironhide is a touch undersized where his previous toy was a touch oversized. The deluxe figures are not as drastic. Leaders were still in scale. It's a mixed bag, but overall, this line is meant to be displayed independently I think.
