And yet the Siege version didn't come with a trailer.

There are multiple ways that could be interpreted and I don't like any of them.

"Just cracked open my Warpath and Cyclonus that arrived earlier today and I already love both the figures.

Everything is nice and tight with no sagging in any of the joints. Only issue I have is the screw-pin that pivots and holds Cyclonus' cockpit section has sheared off.

It's not too much of an issue, given that in both modes his arms are tabbed in securely, but it does mean I can wiggle that entire assembly off of his torso now.

I'm not sure whether to keep him or try and get him exchanged for a new one"

I've seen the listings for the first three waves of Generations 2022. I'm not posting this on that fancy website, and don't really want it shared there. I don't want to join their clique. Believe. Don't believe. Not my problem.

A lot of stuff that doesn't make sense here, the standout being Voyager Armada Megatron... but a Commander Optimus Prime which implies a *tiny* Optimus or a spindly Megs. Transmetal 2 Megs, but Transmetal Primal.

As much as I'd love a lot of these figures, this is just someone's pipe dream (remember the "Prime War" leak with Micromaster playsets and Arcee?)

What would be so confusing about an Armada Optimus being Commander class? The original Super-Base toy was Commander class-sized.

I think he was referring to the difference in size between commander and voyager. Maybe he thinks Megatron should be a leader? If there were to be a commander class Optimus, the cab robot would be voyager sized, right? So Megatron would have to be a leader class, if Hasbro decides to honor scale.

Armada Optimus is supposed to tower over Megatron in his Super Mode, though.

I think they're talking more about the non-Super Mode. Specifically, were Megatron a Voyager and Optimus a Commander, to get both Megatron and Optimus' non-Super Mode in scale with each other, either Megatron would have to be a very spindly Voyager to be the right size compared to a reasonably-sized/-massed non-Super Optimus, or non-Super Optimus would have to be very small to be the right size compared to a reasonably-proportioned Megatron.

Yeah, sorry I wasn't specific but this is what I was trying to get at. I don't particularly care about scale too much (as long its vaguely correct), but if Megs were to be a normal Voyager, Prime would have to be around Deluxe-ish for the power dynamic to work.

Personally I think Armada Megatron should be larger than the standard G1 Megatron since he looks more armoured and built-up (especially with the shoulder treads, my favourite part ). If he were a Voyager, I'd feel a little letdown.
Sorry for the confusion, I was just trying to show this list and point out some red flags in case it was spread around.

Wasn't he deluxe class? I remember a version of him later sold as a deluxe.

That was "Bendy Prime" who was smaller and far more poseable than the original combining release. He was also IIRC a really really cool toy whose articulation is still impressive today. The combining Prime with the trailer was Voyager-to-Ultra sized in robot mode.
