    Both figures look amazing and I will totally get them down the pipeline. But what's with galvatron being a voyager when blaster is a leader class?

    Blaster has the chest storage gimmick.

    Galvatron doesn't.

    I might be in the minority, but I just don't have the space for any more Leader class figures. (And it kills me to say this given how awesome that Blaster looks.) I've still managed to keep myself from buying either of the CW Megatrons for this reason, so a Voyager Galvatron is a much easier sale for me.

    Two possible reasons:

    1. Because the original Blaster was gigantic.

    2. So he can be scale buddies with MP Soundwave?

    More like
    1. Blaster is pretty much destined to get a Soundwave retool.
    2. Megatron, Thundercracker, Starscream, and Skywarp in the recent lineups were Leaders.
    3. Hasbro assumes fans will want to match up Soundwave to the Leader class Cons and previews/releases Blaster first to test the waters.

    He also has the chest gimmick, too.

    is it even confirmed Galvatron is a voyager? Looks big enough, and bulky enough to be a leader from these pics. I dunno.

    Whatever..Im buying that shit..HARD.

    Because Combiner Wars Skywarp is both a Leader and a Legion. Trying to make sense of price points and scale will just make you pull out your hair.

    And according to the news post, Galvatron is Leader Class

    Why are people thinking Galvatron is a voyager?? The article on here has it listed as a Leader did someone see a tag next to the toy that says otherwise?

    No I don't. I'm not even complaining about the figures themselves. Just why hasbro decided to make galvatron smaller then blaster.
