Each toy is linked to a Prime Master.

- I am 100% going to get every single one of the Dinobots and I love them all very much. Swoop and Grimlock are definitely at the top of my list, Swoop because he's my favorite Dinobot (though I'm honestly not sure why?) and Grimlock just looks by far the best we've ever seen as an update to his G1 form.
The others seem quite good too and I'm sure I won't regret getting any of them (Slaoug kinda looks really dumb in his Triceratops mode, but I think he's just been posed awfully).
- Speaking of which, side note: I know I should expect it by now, but really, a convention exclusively for your brand that's being exclusively run by your brand and you still can't get someone to pose things correctly? Poor Sludge's hand is upside-down, how do you even manage that?!
- Leader Prime looks mighty cool, but seeing as I already have and love the MP and I don't personally have a need for a Leader-class leaders, I'll probably pass. Doesn't help that I got Tribute Orion Pax just a week ago, either - the new guy looks insanely cartoon-accurate but I'm happy to stick with the one/s I've got. I'm still holding out hope for an eventual Ultra Magnus retool, though; I don't care if the inner robot is just a white Orion Pax instead of Optimus, just give me a cool combining Magnus robo!
-Starscream looks a lot better in these pictures? I hated him before but now I'm just mildly disgruntled. I'll probably still have to pass since I'm gonna have to tighten my wallet next year, but we'll see if he can change my mind before then.
- Frustrated that the combiners are being spread out over two waves again, from what we've seen. I'd like my Volcanicus (what a hard name to remember how to spell!) as soon as possible please, but I suppose it can be fun to drag out the search.
- Prime Masters don't give me much to say. I think it's super-cute how Micronus peeks through Cloudburst's visor, and I can't wait to see the Vector Prime one. Gonna compulsively buy all of them,
natch.

- Prime Masters: All of 'em, because I'm weak-willed and they're so cheap. Most excited for the as-yet-unrevealed VP though.
- Legends: All of 'em again, but since we've only had two revealed so far I guess that's not so bad. Beachcomber to contribute to my Legends minibots, and Slash because she's a Dinobot and she's cute and what more do I need to say.
- Deluxe: Dinobots, Jazz, maaaybe Darkwind and Blackwing since I'm a sucker for new and interesting gimmicks. And, I guess that's all the revealed Deluxes so far too, so uh.
- Voyager: Grimlock. Starscream isn't pushing the right buttons just yet but Grimlock just looks great, oh man.
- Leader: Nobody yet. Due to my preference for faction leaders being in Voyager scale, and the fact that Roddy still looks pretty clunky to me and OP pretty much only fills the spots of two figures I already have, I'm not too bothered about either of them.

not exactly out of scale. Her alt mode is raptor, which generally is much smaller than stegosaurus or triceratops.

And research suggests that raptors had feathers not scales. So yes, they were out of scale.

But seriously, Beast Wars characters were about 1/3 or 1/4 the size of G1 characters, so it would be mostly accurate.
