Indeed, with transformers figures. What is the difference between Voyager & Deluxe figures?

There's exceptions to every rule, but I would say size and quality. Voyager being the better of the two.

Okay, and is there a place where i can see which voyager class figures will come out?

I have just recently purchased Barricade, Jazz and 08 Bumblebee as Deluxe.

Blackout is Voyager.

So did i make a mistake?! will they be replaced with voyager?

Voyagers are simply the next size of figure up from the deluxe. In the Transformers movie line, figures such as Bumblebee, Barricade, Jazz, Scorponok, Arcee etc...etc...will only be released in the deluxe size (of course there is the odd exception such as Ultimate Bumblebee and Leader class Brawl, who was also a deluxe).

Very seldom are deluxe figures recreated in a larger size, the voyagers in the movie line thus far are Blackout, Ironhide, Ratchet, Starscream, Prime, Megatron, Thundercracker and a Ratchet repaint. Nothing will be 'replaced' as you asked, some figures will just be exclusively improved such as Brawl from deluxe to leader.

Hope this helps a wee bit

I hope Starscream will be improved to leader class, Blackout to supreme class, and Megatron to Leader Class.

Nope, no typo there.

So um... Leader class? whats that all about? The best version?

Leader class is basically the best version of Transformers figures yes, however, Masterpiece beats the hell out of even Supreme class figures (note: there are no supreme class movie figures or plans for them).

yeah well i have masterpiece prime

I know that much

Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, are just Size classes and price ranges to go with them. There not necessarily better then one another they just are.

For example. I would Say Voyager Prime is better looking that Leader Prime even though he is smaller.

As was said, with a few exceptions no figures will see a release in more than one size class or price range.

so its very unlikely will see say Barricade or Jazz in Voyager.

Starscream is as of yet unknown. But i won't say that it definitely won't happen. As Starscream is one of the few characters to get all sorts of releases within a line.

you think voyager prime looks better than leader prime?
are you blind? leader prime is so so much more movie accurate than voyager. not to mention voyager prime has horrendous balance with it's feet, not to mention it's back pack, and the smoke stacks don't even lock into place in alt mode. it's weapons are a far cry from the movie. it's chest completely lacks detail. and the colors are all off. there are only two things about voyager prime that are better than leader. the fact that voyager has that sweet blue piping for the eyes, and on the robo vision voyager, the grey plastic is more shiney and realistic.

That's your opinion.

Voyager looks a bit more movie accurate, since he is more streamlined. So he has a big truck front on his back. His chest is more accurate to the Movie than Leader Prime's. In the movie the chest is slightly rounded to give the impression of chest muscles. Leader Prime's chest is boxy

The rear tires of Leader Prime just hang there, and if you try to bend the knee, they just drop down.

Voyager has the little fake cowboy in the drivers seat, that hides . which I find more amusing than Leader's lights and sounds.





no tires on his hips you see.

Voyager Prime:



Leader Prime:



but to each his own. If you like Leader Prime good for you.

i personally like the robovision prime for accuracy... i dont llike bulky figures...

The Voyagers are practically bigger than the Deluxes ,and cost twice as much. That's the difference between the two.
