That's still the best voyager Optimus Prime mold in my honest opinion.

And Jazz will be smaller?

Despite that snark I took a pic of the four figures I have which are all major characters with notable attempts at scaling. I don't have the Battle Blades Prime, sorry. That's a costly figure these days.
Y'see that's some nice scaling for two Deluxes and two Voyagers. And I presume Blackout and moreso Grimlock make these look like tiny children.
There's probably pics of the full range that someone will post but i thought i'd do this anyways.
Wolfman Jake wrote:No snark, my friend. All T, no shade. I'm not saying Studio Series Optimus Prime is terrible, but I am saying that I believe Battle Blades Optimus Prime is the better figure. Thanks for the pics, though. Studio Series Starscream looks BEEFY for a Voyager, so I don't think Battle Blades Optimus Prime is going to throw off the scale that much.

Aw ok I read it as snark when you used the word 'amazing' but then 'allegedly' in asking about the scale of the Studio figures. My mistake. But yeah as you can see there's some definite height differences between figures of the same size class. And yes it means I was glad I got Prime much cheaper than Starscream cos the latter is suitably chunkier.

No
Ah well. There's probably only so small they can make it while still charging Deluxe price.
That picture amuses me cos I had my four figures positioned with Voyagers at back with Deluxes in front but I realised that's silly cos obviously perspective will make the different in size of figures less than they are so I lined them up in a row.

Thundercracker isn't a real Studio Series figures. It's a crappy movie 5 figure. I had, and sold, Nitro Zues and I just don't understand why so many like it.
Grimlock is horribly simple for a leader class figure. He is barely more than a one step changer. He looks great, I'll admit, and has great size, but I've never been fond of this character or design.
Bumblebee is amazing. This is the figure we should have gotten in 2007 for his '77 Camero mode. I don't seem to have the floppy issues others have, so I love him.

Maybe, just maybe, the rumored Ironhide is possible proof of a wave 4 to come I hope so, I would like to see a Sideswipe, a Dino, the 3 Wreckers (or at least a weaponized Leadfoot and Roadbuster), and maybe a Jolt and twins. Oh and a Frikkin Devastator, now that they have proven how good they are with combiners.

They could make a 200$ set with all voyager members of the ROTF Devastator team. Each individuals transformable to bot and vehicle, highly detailed, articulated, well painted... Heck an ultra improved and upscaled legend version would work!
A guy can dream.

Lockdown was a few feet shorter than Prime in the movie (most of what I've read puts Lockdown at 24 feet and Optimus at 28), so the scale kinda works there. What doesn't work is with Ratchet, Lockdown should be taller than him.
