They match up pretty well. They both barely fit inside the box, which is the same size as the box they put the other BH Voyagers in.

That wasn't my point. I was saying I'm not paying more for an "upscaled" cyberverse character.


OK, but what about paying $20 for a Leader-size figure that's bigger and better-looking than the Voyager? What about paying half price for a better Leader-class figure?


While I agree, it is sad that some Cyberverse Characters are far better then the voyager counterparts.....
Cyberverse Commander Prediking
Cyberverse Commander Blackout
And maybe Cyberverse CMDR Ironhide (maybe)

But I'm still passing on him. I was never really impressed with any version of him (my opinion). I would be interested in the Deluxe sized Terrorcons.
New pics added as I find time.

I'll second that one, I think the Cyberverse one has superior articulation to the Arms Micron Deluxe and oozes character.

Wow, Prime looks BEEFY. He would be tempting if it weren't for the horrid bright green plastic all over. So, what keeps these down at the Voyager price point for a larger size overall? Are they very hollow inside or something?

Simpler Transformation -> Less parts + no gimmicks = lower overall cost. We may call them upscaled Commanders, but there are differences. The only thing they share is overall transformation, but the detailing, molding and jointing are different (ball joints replaced by swivels and ratcheting joints).
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

I've seen a post that shows how easy the green plastic can be removed. I'll see if I can still find it.
