Though, I'd still like to see comparisons with the Legends deco, too.
Also, every Voyager in those pics is bigger in robot mode than both the Leaders Blitzwing and Astrotrain (while Galvatron is the only big Leader). Was not expecting that.
Though, speaking of Astrotrain, he's mistransformed in those pics. His waist flaps are folded up, exposing the tops of his legs.

Menasor teaser??
It's not a teaser, it's a silhouette of some fan art (probably from Deviantart)
Good eye mate, good eye. Unless its your fan art, lol.

Wish there were more comparison shots with him, though.

Every way except for height, which some people are still salty about for some reason.

I'm not happy with any of AT's modes, bot, shuttle or train, but I at least like Blitzwing's bot and tank modes (phallus notwithstanding). Wish the jet mode was better, though, could it possibly be our worst jet mode of any figure ever?

Good point about the price hikes. I hadn't really noticed with the Voyagers (maybe they've escaped it for the time being) but when I was picking up some deluxes for myself and a friend... I about choked when four of them was over $100 (US).
I actually dug out the Generations version recently... the fact that the paint on the head was... tacky... worried me... also wasn't that version notorious for a shoulder issue?
That could be another reason why I'm flagging on the current transformers series. Funnily enough I enjoyed the BotsBots on Netflix enough I may hunt some of those down again.

There was a 3rd party replacement head and shoulders add-ons that fixed those issues which I got waaaaaaay back in the day. I don't know if the paint on the original head has degraded since then; not in a position to check that out.
For me this isn't buying a new product, but replacing an older one which I like decently enough.

My issue with the height is that I want to be able to mix CHUG with Prime Wars with WFC with Legacy. Some figures end up looking ridiculously small next to older (superior?) figures.
It makes me sound old, but the fact that Classics Sunstreaker/Sideswipe were $15, and are almost as tall as a $45 Kingdom Voyager is just plain silly.

Yeah, but Classics Sunstreaker and Sideswipe look like garbage next to WfC IMHO. Class sizes, height, and scale are all only indirectly related to each other across the 20 year lifespan of so-called CHUG, and there's generally consistency within individual brand lines, but it's an unfair expectation across Generations as a whole. I'd much rather have new design and engineering principles over an ongoing scale guideline.
