My Voyager Prime has a faction symbol on his shoulder in robot mode (and one on his grille in truck mode.) Not sure about the Deluxe.

DAMMIT I GOT THE SHORT END NO FRACTION'S ON SHOLDERS ON EITHER as for megs I have seen the proto (bot mode) so its comming not sure though if its a tomy piece

Now you'll never know if Optimus Prime is an Autobot or a Decepticon.

I hope Joshimus doesn't mind me quoting his great photos of the TF Prime lineup here, but as you can see below the vehicles scale *fairly* well, except that Arcee bike is too big. Imagine a little human sitting in V Prime's cab, then in BB and Cliffy's front seats, then in Bulky's vehicle, etc - it works pretty well. But the Arcee bike is huge in that scenario.

I still find it a bit of a pain to have to mix and match the classes to get proper scaladd to that the smaller classes usally have less detail and accessories and there is always the question of what to do with smaller scale(say Op) now doesn't fit,.... this has always been the transformers toy line delema that seems to go unfixed

It's not that hard to get figures in the correct scale. Just remember that if it transforms into a car, it's almost certainly going to be a Deluxe. If a character is larger than a car-bot, get the Voyager or Leader-class version. If its smaller, get a Basic (if there's one available; otherwise just accept that you'll have a character out of scale.)

Your right. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Don't know what it is with those 2 I'm always switching their names, I just realized that I would also like a voyager/leader sound wave he is pretty tall in the show. Anybody else hoping that they stay away from electronics in the larger figures?

No electronics = cheaper (hopefully) = happier me

Don't skimp on the plastic crack. Forget the electronics

Dlx Arcee makes her look like a boss lady...

Need a smaller one.

I did a video with Voyager Prime, at the end I show him with Arcee and Bumblebee (and also show him next to the deluxe Prime at the beginning), so you can get an idea of scale. He is clearly the "choice" for your Optimus Prime from the line.

Well, we haven't seen Leader class figures yet.

Not sure what it is about those two either as Ive heard (read?) a few people make the same mixup.

And I'm right there with you on the electronics. I pretty much always just take out the batteries anyway so they're close to useless. The only (modern) figure I kind of like to keep the batteries in is TFA Ldr Megatron, I just love the laugh.
