Editing Size class

{{cleanup|January 2019|Massively outdated, missing toylines with their own unique price points; needs a complete revamp}}

[[File:Animated-toy MultipleSizeOptimusPrimes.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb|[[Optimus Prime (Animated)/toys|''Animated'' Optimus Prime]] toys of different size classes. From left to right: [[Legends Class (2005)|Legends Class]], [[Activators]], Deluxe Class, Voyager Class, and Supreme Class.]]

When [[Hasbro]] categorizes the size and production resources allotted to a [[toy]], they are classified under a '''size class'''. Toys of the same size class tend to have the same number of [[plastic]] parts, [[Paint operation|paint applications]], and [[gimmick]]s. The logic behind size classes is simple: retailers can order a [[case]] of toys, knowing exactly how much they will sell for and exactly how much shelf space they will occupy. Each size class corresponds to its own suggested '''price point''', or {{w|List price|MSRP}}. The actual price found in stores may vary - [[Walmart]] and [[Target]] might differ by a few cents, and online retailers may increase the price to cover shipping costs.

The names of the size classes, their actual size, and their pricepoints have changed over time, due to [[To sell toys|marketability trends]], inflation, the price of [[oil]], and other outside factors.

==''The Transformers''==
Since it was initially a patchwork of products from [[Pre-Transformers|multiple unrelated toylines]], the original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|The Transformers]]'' toyline did not have size classes as we know them today. The only general "size classes" were based on whether a toy came carded, such as [[Mini-Vehicle]]s, [[Mini-Cassette]]s and [[combiner]] limbs, or were boxed medium to large figures and giftsets.  Outside of that criteria, especially from 1987 onward, everything was divided by [[gimmick]] moreso than size.  As [[Walmart|big]] [[Target|box]] [[Kmart|stores]] had nowhere near as much direct influence on company strategy in the 1980s compared to now, predictable size classes simply were not necessary at the time.

==Beast Wars==
[[File:BWToy Ultra OptimusPrimal BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
After [[Kenner]] took control of the line following [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|Transformers: Generation 2]], strict size classes were instituted per standard Kenner business practices at the time, such as with their prior licensed [[Batman]] and [[T-800|Terminator 2]] lines.  This had the knock-on effect of allowing [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] to bargain far more effectively with their factories since production costs were now largely predictable.<ref>''[[Transformers Beast Wars: Beast Generations]]'', p. 120</ref>  ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' had five size classes.   

* '''Basic,''' the cheapest at US$5.
* '''Deluxe,''' at US$10. This was one of the strongest performing price points, and nearly all future retail lines would feature product in the Deluxe price range.
* '''Mega,''' at US$15. Toys of this size were often [[shelfwarmer]]s. 
* '''Ultra,''' at US$20. Only eight toys were sold at this price point.
* '''Super,''' at US$30. This size class contained only one toy, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimal Optimus]].

Basic and Deluxe were sold on cards for many years after ''Beast Wars''' conclusion. Toys in larger size classes are still sold in boxes.

These size classes were also used in the concurrent ''[[Animorphs]]'' line.

==Beast Machines==
[[File:BMToy Silverbolt CardedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Machines]]'' continued ''Beast Wars''' size classes, but increased the price of Basic to US$7. 

'''Supreme''' was introduced as a US$40 size class. [[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]] was the only Supreme in this line; a Supreme [[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys|Optimus Primal]] toy was planned to be in this line, but was moved to ''Robots in Disguise''. Both of these supreme class designs featured electronic lights and sounds. Supreme Optimus Primal even featured speech by voice actor [[Garry Chalk]].

Two additional size classes, [[Deployer (BM)|Deployers]] (US$5) and [[Beast Rider]]s (US$10) would turn out to be short-lived. The size of Ultra toys was increased while maintaining the price.
{{-}}

==Robots in Disguise==
[[File:Ut rid carded.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' used the ''Beast Machines'' size classes, though the Basic price point was once again lowered to US$5. However, most of the toys at this price point were either [[Spychanger]] two-packs or [[redeco]]ed Generation 1 combiner limbs, making them somewhat smaller and less intricate than previous lines' Basics (a notable exception is [[Obsidian (RID)|the recolor]] of [[Obsidian (BM)|Obsidian]], which was sold for less than the original version). 

''Robots in Disguise'' also had three Mega-priced multipacks of smaller figures (the three smaller Predacons, a trio of recolored ''Beast Machines'' Basics as Autobots, and the recolored [[Laser Cycle]]s). 

Several of the line's toys ran afoul of the differences between US and Japanese packaging policies. The [[Team Bullet Train]] toys were individually packaged as Megas, despite being smaller than the usual members of that size class. The near-Basic-sized [[Wedge (RID)|Wedge]] was sold as a Deluxe.
{{-}}

==Armada==
[[File:Ut armada supercon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ''[[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|Armada]]'' toyline renamed or repurposed all the existing price points:

* '''Mini-Con,''' at US$6.50 replaced the Basic price point, with 3-packs of [[Mini-Con]]s.
* '''Super-Con,''' at US$10 replaced the Deluxe.
* '''Max-Con,''' at US$20 replaced the Ultra. All Max-Cons had electronic sound effects.
* '''Giga-Con,''' at US$25. All Giga-Cons (except for [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]]) featured electronic lights and sounds.
* '''Super-Base,''' at US$40 replaced Super, but used the Supreme price point. The only figure of this class was [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]], who featured an infrared-activated automatic transformation gimmick, as well as lights and sounds.
* "[[Unicron/toys#Armada|Unicron]]" was in his own class using the Supreme size, at US$50. He had lights, but no sounds.

The old US$15 price, previously used by the Mega size class, was effectively discontinued, taken up by [[roleplay toy|roleplay toys]] like the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]] and the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Dark Saber]].
{{-}}

==Universe (2003)==
[[File:TFU03-toy EnWideload.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The original ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' line reused the ''Beast Wars'' '''Deluxe''' and '''Ultra''' (the latter at US$20) size classes. 

After the ''Universe'' line as such had effectively ended, repackaged ''Energon'' (and even later, ''Cybertron'') toys were sold on ''Universe'' cards as discount chain [[exclusive]]s, divided into the price points '''Basic''' (US$5) and '''Deluxe''' (US$8).
{{-}}

==Alternators==
[[File:Ut alternators early.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' line was unique in that it only consisted of a single price point (US$20). This was owed to the uniform [[scale]] of the line at 1:24, as well as the fact that all the toys from the line were based on licensed vehicles. 

Some retailers actually listed the toys under the "Mega" price point, but this designation was never officially used by Hasbro. In fact, there was an official "Mega Alternators" assortment of sorts, which consisted of shrinkwrapped two-packs consisting of two individual toys (mostly limited to [[shelfwarmer]]s such as [[Smokescreen (G1)|Smokescreen]], [[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Side Swipe]], or [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]]), available for the price of a single Alternators toy exclusively at Toys'R'Us. 

Hasbro later replaced the original mass retail Alternators assortment with a second one, which remained at the original one's price point. In the case of Alternators [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys|Optimus Prime]], Hasbro reportedly accepted a smaller profit margin (since the toy was more expensive to produce than other Alternators toys) so they could still sell it at the US$20 price point.
{{-}}

==Energon==
[[File:Ut energon boxed.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' took a somewhat random approach to size-class naming. The second [[Transformers: Energon (mini-comic)|pack-in catalog]] introduced the size class range as: 

* '''Energon,''' at US$7 
* '''Combat,''' at US$10
* '''Mega Combat,''' at US$20. All Mega Combat (and the subsequently renamed Mega Class) figures featured sound effects.
* '''Commanders,''' at US$25. Commanders had lights and sounds depending on the figure. 
* '''Leaders,''' at US$40. Leaders featured both lights and sounds.
* [[Unicron/toys#Energon|Unicron]] was given no size class - US$50.

The third [[catalog]] explicitly referred to the price points as 

* '''Energon Class'''
* '''Combat Class'''
* '''Mega Class''' (a renamed US$20 Mega Combat class, not to be confused with the old ''Beast Wars''/''Beast Machines''/''Robots in Disguise''-era US$15 Mega class)
* '''Command Class'''
* '''Leaders Class'''
* [[Omega Supreme (Energon)#Toys|Omega Supreme]] was given no size class. 

The fourth and final catalog continued using the terms originated by the third (although each of the [[combiner]] teams has its own double-page spread, and the individual members have no price points listed, even though the limb and torso bots shipped as part of the Energon and Combat Class assortments, respectively), but finally listed Omega Supreme as '''Supreme Class'''.

==Cybertron==
[[File:Ut cybertron voyagerclass.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' changed the naming of some size classes, but retained others: 

* '''[[Legends Class (2005)|Legends of Cybertron]],''' at US$3, with tiny [[market six]]-aimed figures.
* '''Mini-Con Class,''' at US$5 was added for the Mini-Con two-packs.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$7
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20. Sound effects were dropped from all but four figures in this size class. [[Vector Prime]], [[Overhaul (Cybertron)|Leobreaker]], [[Crumplezone (Cybertron)|Crumplezone]] and his remold Dark Crumplezone retained their sound effects gimmick.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25. Ultra class toys had lights and sounds.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$40. Leader class figures featured lights and sounds, and (except for [[Metroplex (Cybertron)|Metroplex]]) featured several [[Cyber Key]] gimmicks.
* '''Supreme Class,''' at US$50. Supreme class figures had lights and sounds, with several different Cyber Planet Key gimmicks. [[Primus]] featured an [[Omega Lock]] accessory gimmick that was essential for his transformation.

==Classics==
[[File:Astrotrain packaging deluxe.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' kept the Deluxe and Voyager classes, renamed as:

* '''Legends,''' at US$4 - Legends of Cybertron repaints, raised $1 in price.
* '''Mini-Con,''' at US$7, in three-packs again, replacing the Scout Class price point.
* '''Classic Deluxe,''' at US$10.
* '''Classic Voyager,''' at US$20.
{{-}}

==Movie==
[[File:Movie 1 voyager.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers (2007 toyline)|Transformers]]'', the toyline based on the 2007 [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]], retained many size classes from before:

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$4.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$7.
* '''Cyber Slammers,''' at US$8. A cutesy [[Cyber Slammers|subline]] aimed at younger children.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10.
* '''Fast Action Battlers,''' at US$10. A gimmick-based [[Fast Action Battlers|subline]].
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20. Continuing on from the standards set in ''Cybertron'' and ''Classics'', ''Movie'' Voyagers featured no electronics unless they were redecos of toys from previous lines.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25. (Consisted of two Toys"R"Us [[exclusive]] ''Cybertron'' redecoes.)
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$40. The Leaders featured electronic lights and sounds, usually attached to a spring-loaded [[Automorph Technology|Automorphing]] gimmick.

The '''Supreme''' class was dropped. The Scout Class, which consisted entirely of [[redeco]]s of toys from the ''Energon'' and ''Cybertron'' toylines, was exclusively available at Target stores in the US, but was sold at mass retail in Europe and Canada. A standalone US$90 '''Ultimate Bumblebee''' figure was released.
{{-}}

==Animated==
[[File:TFAnimated Leader Megatron BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|''Transformers Animated'' toyline]] has the following size classes:

* '''Activators,''' at US$8. Toys in this assortment feature an [[Automorph Technology|automatic transformation gimmick]].
* '''Bumper Battlers,''' at US$10. Toys that transform upon colliding with something, like the previous [[Cyber Slammers]], but with audio effects.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$40. Features electronic lights and sounds, including speech samples voiced usually by the actors from the cartoon.
* '''Supreme Class,''' at US$50. Only Roll-out Command Optimus Prime was released in this price point. It features electronic lights and sounds, including speech samples voiced by [[David Kaye]].

Legends Class toys of the Animated cast were released as part of the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' toyline.
{{-}}

==Universe (2008)==
[[File:Universe2008 Sunstreaker CardedCopy.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The 2008 [[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|''Universe'' toyline]] had the following size classes:

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$4.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$10.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$20. Most toys in this assortment were redecos and retools of ''Cybertron'' toys, which had their sound effects removed and the battery compartments riveted shut, owing to budget changes in this price point between their original manufacture and release in Universe.
* '''Ultra Class,''' at US$25. All-new Ultra class figures featured lights and sounds.
* '''Supreme Class,''' at US$50. This size class consisted solely of the Toys 'R' Us exclusive repackaged ''Armada'' [[Unicron/toys|Unicron]].
{{-}}

==Revenge of the Fallen==
[[File:Movie 2 voyager.JPG|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' was fairly similar to the first movie's toyline, with the addition of the Human Alliance and Supreme Combiner classes, as well as the prices jumping up a few dollars. Due to competition between mass retailers, Deluxe and Voyager were often marked down to around $10 and $20 respectively to drive sales to those stores.

* '''Legends Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Scout Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Voyager Class,''' at US$22.
* '''Human Alliance,''' at US$30.
* '''Leader Class,''' at US$45.
* '''Supreme Combiner,''' at US$100. Consisted solely of the dog-sized [[Devastator (ROTF)#Supreme Combiner Class|Devastator]] toy.
{{-}}

==Transformers (2010)==
[[File:TF2010-toy SeaSpray BoxedSample.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The 2010 [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'' toyline]] is basically a broader extension of the movie toylines, and follows their (approximate) size classes. The toyline is split between the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#RTS|''Reveal the Shield'']] and [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#Hasbro Hunt for the Decepticons promotion|''Hunt for the Decepticons'']] subline imprints. The two imprints sometimes used different prices for the same size class, so they've been abbreviated to ''RtS'' and ''HftD'' for simplicity.

*'''RtS Legends Class,''' at US$3.99
*'''HftD Legends Class,''' at US$4.99
*'''Activators,''' at US$7.99
*'''HftD Scout Class,''' at US$7.99
*'''RtS Scout Class,''' at US$9.99
*'''Deluxe Class,''' at US$12.99
*'''Voyager Class,''' at US$22.99
*'''Human Alliance,''' at US$29.99
*'''Leader Class,''' at US$44.99
*'''Ultra Class,''' at US$59.99

{{-}}

==Power Core Combiners==
[[File:Skyburst-backwind-packagin.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Power Core Combiners|''Power Core Combiners'' toyline]] released concurrently with ''Generations'' and ''Transformers'' (2010) toylines. It contained only two size classes.

*'''Commander 2-Pack,''' at US$9.99
*'''5-Pack,''' at US$19.99

After most stores had long gotten rid of ''Power Core Combiners'', [[Walmart]] released [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] bonus packs of a [[Power Core Combiners#Exclusive value packs|5-Pack combiner team with a Commander 2-Pack taped to the side]]. Each pack was sold for US$10.
{{-}}

==Dark of the Moon==
[[File:Movie 3 deluxe.jpg|thumb|200px]]
''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' divides the toys into two major categories. The Cyberverse line contains Legion (previously Legends) and Commander (replacing Scout, but slightly smaller and less complex) size classes and transforming playsets which come with either a Legion or Commander class figure. The MechTech line includes Deluxes class figures and above, with the new addition of Basic figures to the Human Alliance subset. Due to the inclusion of the large MechTech weapons with Deluxe, Voyager and Leader figures, they are slightly smaller than those of the same size class in previous lines.

* '''Legion Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Commander Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Human Alliance Basic,''' at US$10.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.

==Prime==
[[File:PrimeBHtoy-Ultimate-Predaking.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers: Prime (toyline)|''Prime'' toyline]] started with the 'First Edition' line released in November 2011, and continued into the 'Prime: Robots in Disguise' 2012 line. Continuing to use the Legion, Commander, Deluxe and Voyager size classes at their previous price points, it also adds a 'Vehicle Class' consisting of a Cyberverse transforming playset and Legion-class figure, a 'Weaponizer' class for larger-than-Voyager figures with pop-out weaponry in both modes, and a 'Maximus' class for figures that transform into Cyberverse-scaled battle stations / powered armor suits.

* '''Legion Class,''' at US$5.
* '''Commander Class,''' at US$8.
* '''Deluxe Class,''' at US$13.
* '''Vehicle Class,''' at US$20.

{{-}}

===Thrilling 30===
[[File:FME2013-GenSpringerBox.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Thrilling 30#Toyline|''Thrilling 30'' toyline]] was centered around a new toy in a class of its own: Titan class [[Metroplex (G1)#Generations|Metroplex]]. It also saw the incorporation of a new Leader class, solely inhabited by [[Jetfire (G1)/toys#Generations|Jetfire]].
*'''Legends Class,''' at US$9.99

====Titans Return====
[[File:TR Megatron Box Front.jpeg|thumb|200px]]
''Combiner Wars'' transitioned smoothly into the [[Titans Return (toyline)|''Titans Return'' toyline]], which debuted with more gimmicks: all Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader class figures were packaged with a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]-style [[Titan Master]] partner, all of which are completely interchangeable. Additionally, all Voyager and most Leader Class figures are [[Triple Changer]]s.
*'''Titan Master Class,''' at US$4.99

====Power of the Primes====
[[File:POTP Jazz pk USCALA EU.jpg|thumb|200px]]
As the fifth subline imprint of ''Generations'', the [[Power of the Primes (toyline)|''Power of the Primes'' toyline]] essentially combines the gimmicks of the last two subline imprints. Combination joints are reintegrated into figures, and Voyagers and Deluxes are packaged with a pair of feet or a hand, respectively. Additionally, the Titan Masters have been reworked into [[Prime Master]]s, small figures intended to represent the sparks of the [[Thirteen|Primes]].
*'''Prime Master Class''' at US$6.99
*'''Legends Class,''' at US$9.99
*'''Deluxe Class,''' at US$16.99
*'''Voyager Class,''' at US$24.99

*'''Titan Class,''' at US$149.99
{{-}}

===Studio Series===
[[File:Studio-Series-Voyager-Long-Haul-Box.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Like previous movie lines, ''[[Studio Series]]'' contains three main categories; Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader. Voyager-sized figures with additional accessories are sold under the Leader price-point due to the cost of the extra plastic.
*'''Deluxe Class,''' at US$19.99
*'''Voyager Class,''' at US$29.99
*'''Leader Class,''' at US$49.99
*'''Deluxe Multi-Pack,''' at US$29.99, contains a Deluxe figure with mini accessories or figures.

*'''Bumblebee Retro Multi-Pack,''' at US$59.99
*'''Devastator Gift set,''' at US$259.99

Starting with its Wave 13 in 2021, ''Studio Series'' would be affected by brand-wide price increases. The line also saw the introduction of Core Class in 2022, effectively similar to the prior Legends Class.
*'''Core Class,''' at US$10.99
*'''Deluxe Class,''' at US$22.99
*'''Voyager Class,''' at US$31.49
*'''Leader Class,''' at US$52.99

Wave 19 in 2023 saw slight changes in the prices of Voyagers and Leaders, and the addition of the Commander Class later in the year. The Core Class price changed at the start of 2024, before the class was discontinued entirely in 2025.
*'''Core Class,''' at US$9.99
*'''Deluxe Class,''' at US$24.99
*'''Voyager Class,''' at US$34.99

Once again, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' continues the structure of its predecessors, although it saw a line-wide price increase in later waves. The chart below displays the new prices. The line eschewed Micromasters and Battle Masters in favor of Core Class, which is functionally the same as the Legends Class.

[[File:CrosshairsPackaging.jpg|thumb|200px]]
The [[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|''Age of Extinction'' toyline]] was split into two different series. One series was known as "Robots in Disguise" which featured gimmicky toys such as the "Power Battlers" which are successors to the "Fast Action Battlers", "One-Step Changers" which convert in one easy step, "Dino Sparkers" which are unarticulated and non-transforming figures of Autobots riding non-transforming Dinobots who can generate sparks by being pulled back, "Flip and Change" figures which transform by being flipped over themselves, a "Smash and Change" Optimus which converts when smashed into the ground, a "Mega One-Step Bumblebee" which transform in one step but is the size of a "Leader Class" figure, and a 22 inch tall electronic "Stomp & Chomp Grimlock" which also converts in one step. The second series was a Generations series specifically for Age of Extinction which included "Deluxe Class", "Voyager Class", and "Leader Class" figures.
