As I would like to see it again and share it with my cousin can someone please provide a link to that post or re-post the chart?
Thank you.

So with at least one version of those characters 'out of the way' as such, that should pave the way open for future Generations lines to be multi-generational. Especially when you account for other factors like how a lot of older collectors now grew up with Beast Wars or Armada instead of G1. It's been decades since those aired; fans of those have grown up.

I am not so sure about that. The voyagers are a new size class that appeared since then so there is nothing to compare it too and the deluxes of today are just as big.
As for the Leader Class, well it only appeared in Cybertron.
Sadly, no one uses "Basic" over "Scout", though.gothsaurus wrote:It amuses me that most of the fans seems to gravitate back to the old Beast Wars size classes for verbal discussions... ignoring the sensationalized size class of the week.

Voyager class is just a renaming of the Mega class. Hasbro couldn't be happy with consistent class names during AEC.
Armada - Max-Con
Energon - Mega
Cybertron - Voyager
They were terribly inconsistent with classes after RID2001, but AEC really took it to a new level. Thankfully everything leveled out for the most part after (aside from the whole Legend/Legion thing).As for the Leader Class, well it only appeared in Cybertron.
Energon also had Leader class with Megatron, Optimus, and Galvatron. Interestingly, despite his size Tidal Wave was not Leader class. He was the equivalent to Ultra class in both Armada and Energon, probably because he didn't have electronics.
Incidentally RID2001 Optimus and Magnus were "Super class" which was technically equal to Leader class in that they were higher up than Ultra.

Then you're in luck! Just pick up the Titan Class release for 2018 in Power of the Primes!

I have seen the rumors but nothing confirmed so far as I know. Fingers crossed though.

There is this http://transfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Combin ... daking.jpg
No individual beast modes, sadly. There were plans to make it happen. I am guessing that it would cost a lot so they probably scrapped it for something they could re-mold.
I found 2 at the Meijer in Mason, MI.
