He doesn't look like he has any ratcheting joints though.

Looking at the pics, he looks like he has ratchet joints in the following areas:

- the top of his thighs where it connects to the waist
- the knee joints
- the shoulder connection
- the elbow joint

If you look closely at the second pic, you can see what looks like 'teeth' of a ratchet joint at his elbow connection.

Also in the fifth pic, you can see a screw hole in the back of his shoulder.

They're definitely not the regular ball joints that we are seeing frequently nowadays with most of the Deluxes, so hence my belief that he may be a larger size class.

These are just from my observations, but it's difficult to tell without seeing it in person or playing with it (or an official announcement).

Either way, I'm not fussed whether he's a Scout, Deluxe or Voyager class - I'm just speculating.

Any new Classicverse character is pure win, so there's no complaints from me! :D

I don't think hes a voyager - he's got those T joints that Hasbro has come to love so much for its deluxes recently that you don't ever seen on voyagers (like for his upper arm swivel)

Very impressive! Let's hope that if this ever does see the light of day that it's released here.

Yes that's true - it also looks like he's got those new C joint mounting points that are the latest craze on quite a few deluxes (although it's difficult to tell from the pics).

Whatever he is, I wish they would hurry up and release it! :D

I agree, saw those joints too. Not a big fan of them a Voyager should have better joints.

As for the leg joints, WFC Megs has ratcheted leg joints too, so there is a precedent.

Anyways looks real nice in the crisp resin form, I hope the end toy matches. I wonder what his repaint will be? Brawl, Quake, Flywheels even?

Does one even need to question this??

SO bought !! :D

The argument is not that he is a voyager but rather that he is a deluxe that was designed to be a voyager. I still think the engineering is indicative of that but I do prefer this character as a deluxe rather than a voyager so if it is indeed a 'down size' it's welcomed.

If it has been down sized it came through it better than galvatron did.

With the exception of the added missiles I think it's a perfect update for warpath.

I hope it's wave buddy arcee is just as good

Galvatron was a bit of a clumsy design to begin with so it would have been flawed even if it was released upscaled.

This Warpath does indeed seem like a much better design but my preference would have been a more realistic tank mode.
