[Rodimus Prime]

So I saw 3 each of Weaponizer Optimus and Optimus Maximus on the shelf at my Walmart this morning. I was surprised by how big they were, especially Weaponizer. I didn't read up much other either of these, but I figured Weaponizer would be Voyager class, but he's leader-sized. Is that how he is classified? I don't recall reading on the box. What about Optimus Maximus? He seems big enough to be Supreme Class, but it's not an actual figure until the Cyberverse Prime is inserted. So what do we call these 2 pieces?

And BTW, I was impressed by Weaponizer as well, looked really good. Might have to pick him up, though I swore off buying any more large figures. Will there be a Weaponizer Megatron?

For the record, these are the names that were used for internal referring:

Deluxe Class = Revealer
Voyager Class = Powerizer

Weaponizers are in a Class of their own, not quite Leader Class-sized. Optimus Maximus and Bumblebee Battle Suit are stand-alone figures/play sets.

Thanks. Didn't know that. I might still get this big Prime. Looks sharp.

Until you see him in truck mode.

I think I'll be getting Prime. He doesn't look too bad, and his weapon's a fair bit better than the Voyager prime's... chunk.

I'm gonna wait for the Arms Master version, with the Matrix that transforms into a Matrix Saber (with the help of R.A.).

I mostly classified them as Passy McPass and Passter Van Passburg. I was under the impression that the Weaponizers were sort of a replacement for Leader class though.

Leader class? Or ultra?

Leader class? Or ultra?

Ultra has been phased out since Universe 2008, and now it seems it's Leader's turn. Now that I think about it, they're properly named as "Weaponizer", so in a sense they're similar to Ultimates.
