Packaging Found for New Deluxe and Voyager Class Evergreen Styled Authentics Bumblebee

I hope i hope i hope they make good figures of these guys

They're more Generations-style I suspect, with the 8+ Age instead of 6+ for any other line.

You know what this packaging reminds me of AoE. I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing . Oh well

I have high hopes for this. Maybe they will make voyagers of all the “evergreen” cast - could make up for Starscream and Grimlock’s lackluster PotP releases. Deluxe Bumblebee may have potential too. With this latest leak I really don’t see cyberverse actually having toys. What we’ve seen so far lines up perfectly with these designs, but I may have missed some leaks along the way. Assuming there isn’t something else, we have Authentics Bravo to replace one steps and the like and this stuff (authentics alpha?) to replace warriors and hyper change. Granted Bravo seems aimed at “market six” stores, but some “kids don’t care that it’s bad” figures wound up there anyway. Seems like a huge improvement over RiD if this is the case.

You'll remember how it was revealed that there are larger, 7 inch Transformers Authentics toy than the 4.5" initially seen, also featuring new designs that hark back to the evergreen, iconic shapes and sizes of classic characters such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, Megatron, Grimlock and Soundwave. Thanks to the Snakas blog, we actually have in hand images and a sighting, coming to us by way of the Philippines (where they are on sale at Toy Kingdom for 599.75 Pesos / 11 USD at the time of writing ) for the two Autobots and the Dinobot!

Grimlock also comes with some posed imagery and shots of both modes, while the other two are in package and on-shelf, and some comparisons with the smaller class size Megatron, too - but check them all out below.

There is no smaller Authentics Grimlock, but Prime and Bee are just OSKOs

That Grimlock actually doesn't look bad. I just don't like the head design in robot mode, or beast mode.

Is there a smaller one? I thought Grimlock was only available as a larger figure? The small figures we've seen are Optimus, Bee, Starscream, and Megatron while the large figures are Optimus, Bee, and Grimlock. Am I mistaken?

Emerje

No, it's just confusing. I always thought that the figures posted just now were always that size. However, the post here and at TFW2005 suggests that smaller versions are available and that they've been compared to each other?

Has a mistake been made and was it by me?

Not naming the size classes is a good way of dropping the ball. There are as of now two Size Classes for Authentics: 4.5" (compare to RiD Mini-Con Battle Pack Bumblebee), and 7" (compare to Voyager Class). The lineup:

4.5"
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Starscream
Megatron

7"
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Grimlock

Silly me...

We did see those box mock ups for "Deluxe" and "Voyager" (or whatever they will call them) so there is a chance that we'll get one, but probably not while PotP Grimlock is still on shelves.

Dang more figures that will flood the shelves, because no-one will buy them.
