Here's my question.

Why can't Hasbro keep cars in the deluxe class & jets in the voyager,ultra & supreme classes? Why do they always feel the need to stick jets in the deluxe class. Can you imagine how awesome it would be if the Classics Starscream & Cyclonus molds were ultra to go with Wingsaber,Powerglide & Silverbolt? All the Bots got awesome huge toys & the cons got tiny dinky little deluxes. I was hoping they would make Cyclonus in the new Universe line but now that he's a deluxe I don't even want him anymore. WTF am I supposed to do with a crappy deluxe when the Autobots have giant ultra's??? I have no use for him now. It really sucks because I was looking forward to Galvatron & Cyclonus. Now I have no interest in either of them.

I don't like small TF's to begin with. But making jets tiny is just retarded! Hasbro, LEAVE THE DELUXE SIZE CLASS FOR CARS!!!! Jet's DO NOT belong in the deluxe size class.

Because Deluxe class sells better than the other classes no matter the alt mode, and they probably want to sell good with their fanwank line.

QFT!!! Some of Hasbro's choices may not make 100% sense to us, but there is usually a very good reason for ever one of those decisions. In the end, Hasbro is doing what they see as the best thing for them to do at the time. The Transformers franchise has been around for quite some time, so they've evidentally been doing something right to keep it going.

Yeah but still, the Bots get electronic Ultra jets while the Cons get crappy little deluxe jets. Why would the Autobots, which were originally *only cars* get the good jets while the Decepticons who were originally mainly jets get the crappy small jets? It just feels so backwards to me. For the Autobots concentrate on the cars, for the Decepticons concentrate on the jets.

Isn't it bad enough that Classics Starscream was a deluxe? Was it really necessary for them to also make Cyclonus a deluxe??? I just don't get Hasbro.

I think hasbro looks at it like this, it would be harder to repaint a voyager mold six times(seekers) in a line compared to a deluxe. Just my view but I agree larger jets would be awesome, but Im just glad we are getting something.
Take a shot for every pouch Liefield draws on a character. Great now you have alcohol poisoning.

Blend? He will look good with your other classics, nice dark purple used at least it looked dark on the projector.

The target master has more articulation than our old ones at least the photo made it look like the arms would move.

And the ship has the animated style spear tip. It looked freaking nice!

The hound features a nice update as well no more alligator arms for him.

He comes w/ a Ravage that will fit in G1 Soundwave and the ravage transforms in a way so he has a nice 3d form unlike the g1 which was almost 2 dimensional looking.
Step on your neck. Roll out, like Optimus Prime.

I thought it worked for the line aesthetics, not to mention, I generally prefer the "deluxe" class.

Besides, it makes Cyclonus nicely sized compared to Titanium Scourge and Classics Galvatron, as well as the other Classics 'cons.

I have a feeling this will be the first Transformer in years that I buy more then one of. I really loved Cyclonus.

Wow, awesome. I'm looking forward to Cyclonus more than any other Transformer last year, this year, or next year (so far).
