You're not being entirely accurate. Prime has a big ass trailer; plastic wise he has all the stuff needed to be a "leader." The bot is voyager size but he's prime with a full trailer. 70 buck leader class is what they're going for in Siege.
I'm 50/50 on the recent leader offerings. Shockwave and Astrotrain are terrible in terms of how they are voyagers with plastic kibble. Magnus and Galaxy Prime are big ass robots. Earthrise OP is a classic prime with trailer in size with most of the line.
But leaders continuing to be "voyagers, with extra crap" is not a trend I love. I want a big ass robot!
None of that justifies the initial bloated price bump or the new one. And I have the same feelings about Unicron. Hasbro got what they wanted, even if they had to game their own fucking system to do it; they know they can keep raising prices and most of the moron diehards will continue to pay.
