    Out of curiousity, why would you want smaller Ultra versions in place of the larger and more accurately scaled Leader versions that we're getting? Is it just a matter of cost? I'm only referring to Megatron, Bulkhead and the likely possibility of a Leader Lugnut, btw.

    I do agree, however, that characters like Prime & Starscream could be great as Ultra's whereas characters like Ratchet & Soundwave could be better as Voyagers instead of Deluxes.

    Lugnut is very, very cool. I can't wait to pick him up. He's a really neat looking figure.

    Partly that, partly the lack of electronics (moving faces is fun but they won't be as good for posing etc) and partly for overall consistency, i.e

    Deluxes - Bumblebee, Prowl, Black Arachnia etc
    Voyagers - Prime, Starscream, Ratchet etc
    Ultras - Bulkhead, Lugnut etc
    Leaders - Earth Megatron, Ultra Magnus etc

    I'm specifically referring to upsizing Voyager Bulkhead and Lugnut to Ultras, not downsizing any Leaders. But upsizing Prime makes a lot of sense as well.

    Prime isn't that big in the show, I think Voyager's a nice size for him.

    This is why I left him as a Voyager, him and Ratchet are about the same height and Bulkhead looms over both of them.

    I think that is different, I mean, they are planets. How big can you make a toy?

    I like this one, but I do hope (and suspect) he'll get the leader treatment.

    Wow, the more I see Animated stuff, the better it looks. Lugnut looks good, but funds may make such figures hard to get.

    looks ok, the non-transforming 'weapon' (aka huge piece of kibble) makes up WAY too much of the figure imo though.

    I know this probably won't happen, but since he IS a prototype, I REALLY hope that they make him bigger, but in the same mold, you know? Aside from that, great figure.

    I just love how the wing has a big "not for sale" stamp on it.
