And now, at the other end of the world, Japan is seeing these same figures as well. Fellow Seibertronian Primalxconvoy attended Wonderfest 2018 and snapped images of Grimlock and Optimus prime who we can see in their packaging as well. There was even a whole dioroma made especially to showcase this new leader Grimlock in his mighty scale.
Crowbar, Stinger, Bumblebee and Blackout were also there.

I've already scaled down my movie collection because frankly, they got crappier and crappier. For the first few years I was able to ignore how ugly they were, but time took it's toll and now looking at these ... meh.

I'm saving up for these. May pass on Prime cos I have my AoE Evasion and TLK knight versions already taking up two places for him. But yeah I'm buying so many of those other ones. Yay for a Transformers line I wanna buy.

EDIT: just went back a page and saw the ones i hadnt seen. Lockdown, Megatron and such all look great. Jazz though is prob my fave deluxe there. Awesome.
Starscream. Someone mentioned it's just the deluxe scaled up with a few improvements. I love the Deluxe other than the fact it's small. I nearly bought a scaled up KO but couldn't find it available to buy anymore. This mold suits me just fine then. Though I would prefer it in RotF tattoo deco.

Dat Grimlock...

I live in the U.K. but really want to buy Stinger and Bee. Anyone able to help me purchase and get these figures shipped to me? (sadly delivery on the site is restricted to the U.S. and Canada) pleaseeeee

Not really a fan of movie Grimlock, as good as this version looks, and Prime is just a Mess, with all the movie Primes we saw last year, this is just sad.
I’ll stick with my Movie the Best MB-11

TLK Bee and red redeco of DotM Ratchet. Same height

Screencap from PrimeVsPrime's video of recent pics.

Can see the new lower legs add a bit extra height. Which suits me fine as I like Prime and Megatron to be Voyager size and Bee/Jazz Deluxe and Ratchet and Ironhide to be in the middle.

But he had it in one of the earlier preview pics.
Also I think I actually like that Optimus Prime mold but the colour layout isn't doing it favours..
Blackout looks great.

He did? I thought I was just making a jab at how Studio Series Starscream is an upscaled DotM design...

Yeah I looove that deluxe figure except for the small size and it spent a lot of time on my desk so a more detailed larger version is like made for me.

Just looking at some of the noticable improvements particularly the sides of the torso.

I love it.
But yeah there should be a large buzzsaw that he was holding back in the earlier blurrier pics. I can't find it.
edit:
You can see the saw on his left arm here.

It's a 1 foot difference according to the chart, I can live with it. Stand 'Bee up straight and/or bend Jazz's knees a little and we're good.
The important thing is they're actually trying. No leader Optimus towering over a deluxe Bonecrusher, no voyager Constructicons being the same height as Ironhide, etc. Everyone is approximately where they should be in relation to the other characters. That's remarkable for a movie line.

Why does Blackout look as tall as grimlock in the scale chart above and yet he is at least a head shorter in the pic below ?

Probably cuz his knees are bent, he is always seen that way, and is proly super back/top heavy, one is a cg mock up, and the other is a display, big difference...

I hope they do a Cogman too.

We get a great shot of how each product scales with one another, which really showcases John Warden's comments on how scale was a big component of this line. It is fascinating to see the tools Hasbro used for this accomplishment, like the use of using toys we had already gotten and upscaling them in a way that works best (such as Starscream and Ratchet) along with other changes to existing tooling. There are new molds as well, of course, like Optimus, which is not as well received as the rest of the line. It is probably because Hasbro showed us years ago how a voyager scaled toy of the Revenge of the Fallen model was possible at a voyager scale without resorting to fake discolored chest windows and an inaccurate backpack. These images do show him in his best light so far, so you will let us know what you think.
You will also find many images of Leader Blackout, a very long awaited figure. Is he as great as you would have hoped? Is he your most anticipated leader class figure of this line?
Let us know!

Brawl is slated as a Voyager, so he'll be roughly the size of Starscream and Optimus Prime.

Yeah, I know, but it seems like they prioritized bot modes. I, personally, would have preferred it the other way around. I think it’s easier to headcanon differences in robot size than the size of actual vehicles.
Posted by bacem on February 18th, 2018 @ 11:24pm CST
not that i'm complaining tho. among all starscream molds, save for the leader hftd mold, that dotm deluxe mold is easily the best. and by scale it up to voyager, they also adds some improvements like in the chest and wrist, which i'm all in. oh, and no annoying cybertronian tattoo. so all in all, he's georgeous.

The promo code showed up quickly prior to order page. When I got past the enter shipping info page...my total was then $21.24 and no promo discount showed up. did you get the message that "ITROCKS18" code was accepted?

Well, robot, but I do display a few in vehicle mode. Still, I’d like it to be believable. I don’t expect it from any current lines, and the scale here looks nice, but vehicle mode scale has always been intriguing to me.

I think all 6 deluxes are on my buy list. Ratchet has convinced me to get him, Stinger looks pretty good,
Bee, Jazz, and Lockdown are incredible, and Crowbar looks pretty good too! I actually liked the Berserker mold, so this will do good for him to me.
Starscream looks awesome, I will get him in this deco. Prime is a pass. But Brawl and Megatron are definites too.
Blackout looks pretty cool but not as impressed as I was originally, but still really good. And Grimlock is marvelous. He is perfect!!!
This line is killing it, best reveals of the weekend!

Ironic, that movie figs - once the most divisive figures - are receiving the most unifying praise as the reveals go this weekend. They totally stole earned predakings major disappointments spotlight
