    To be fair I -like- the G1 cartoon accuracy. It's the version of the characters I most connect to.

    What I dont like is Takara's mindset that it justifies almost 3x's markup compared to the more toy looking version.

    I tihnk they will eventually make a re-issue for the Armada OP, it may be this one in the event, if not, that's easily a new-all mold.

    Makes me wish they did a new Megatron too, honestly is the one who needs it the most.

    So I just noticed something... We know Jetfire/skyfire is about the same height as the previous lines leader class. So using the jetfire on display as a scale example... then star convoy is actually about the same size as siege magnus/galaxyforce prime.

    So are we looking at a third retool of magnus?

    People are using it to refer to the proportions of the vehicle mode, which are closer to the "penny racer" version of a VW beetle shown in the cartoon and the original toy, as opposed to the more realistically proportioned beetle from MP-21

    Prime Wars leaders were roughly 8 inches tall. This dude is 11 inches.

    Commander is a new size class altogether.

    If that happens, it'd have to be the Deluxe Armada Prime, since the one that combines with the trailer is notorious for not being particularly good...

    Siege jetfire is considerably taller than prime wars leaders, where the idea that they’re the same size came from is beyond me, but he’s a good 1/4 of a figure larger

    I'd say Commander class is probably closer to the old Supreme class. Just not loaded down with gimmicks.

    Hell to the YES!

    Looks at image of Skyfire .... :D 

    Cant really see it enough yet to say all that lol but they definitely got the color wrong, ... again! in the poster. But again I like enthusiasm! :lol 

    He's 11" inches! (according to Hasbro) Taller then MP-10 size. ;) 

    Noice!

    Me too I'm hoping it's a Masterpiece or at least Siege like construction Armada Prime. I dont know if I'm on board with half & half Star Convoy/Armada Convoy shit. I just want a articulated Super Prime that a smaller Armada Optimus Prime (main robot) that is also a good toy, comes out. And hopefully big in Super mode. Its about time we get Masterpiece Armada figures like Super Optimus Prime w Bumblebee minicon* (since was intended 2b Bumblebee, & WAS in Japan), Megatron w Leader1*, Hot Shot w Jolt*
    Starscream w Swindle*, Scavenger w Rollbar*
    (later Tidal wave, Cyclonus, Demolisher, Red Alert, !!!Shockblast!!! Possibilities are endless!)

    Like the story/media?
    OR the actual shitty constructed toys?

    Siege is like an apology letter for that line. Have you had all of wave 1 Siege deluxes and Voyagers in front if you with the deluxes and Voyagers of Titans Return, all at same time? There is a huge difference on quality and hollow vrs not nearly as hollow. Now if they went back and fixed the plastic, joints, and deco, then maybe.u got something.

    Mimicking the fans? :D 

    Wow! not much faith in our lord & savoir eh?

    Somewhat ok weather for the lines compared to previous years.

    This is only part of the line.

    I hate those kinds of lines, its not really a line but a "who is the rudest and who can push themselves in front of people who got there hours before them" kind of thing.
