    yes, voyager does not equal ultra.

    Though that two pack energon megatron, i think he was considered voyager? the one that came with the deluxe optimus?

    Pretty sure he was voyager, because he stacked up well next to the original voyager Energon Optimus.

    Nope, he was an Ultra same size as Scorponok. He had electronics too.

    Voyager Energon Optimus? There was a deluxe and a leader.

    Voyager and Ultra are different, but sometimes weren't very far apart, so robot mode height is nothing to go by. Voyager, Ultra, etc are pricepoints, so should look at what they retailed for. However the 'smaller' Energon Megatron/Galvatron was never sold on it's own at US retail. But TFW2005's resource section has MSRP info on the Japanese releases:


    Superlink Galvatron, MSRP=3980 yen

    Superlink Galvatron General, MSRP=3980


    Some Superlink Voyager molds:
    Laserwave(Shockblast), MSRP=2980

    Roadbuster(Ironhide), MSRP=2500

    Shockfleet(Mirage), MSRP=2980

    Wing Saber, MSRP=2980



    Some Superlink Ultra molds:
    Shockwave(Tidalwave), MSRP=3980

    Landmine, MSRP=3980

    Megazarak(Scorponok), MSRP=3980


    Having electronics isn't too noteworthy since nearly all Energon Ultras and Voyagers had electronics. Tidalwave, Wing Saber, Alpha Q and Mega-Dinobot being the exceptions.

    Yes but a some of the Japanese releases of the Voyagers removed the electronics.

    Hmmm... not sure if I did know that... which ones? The Autobot Powerlinkers I assume from those MSRPs?

    I have Roadbuster Wild and Skyfire Sonic, but I never cared about Ironhide or Jetfire's electronics so I forget if I ever noticed if RW & SS had their electronics or not.

    Personally, I really liking the Cybertron molds.
