    I wouldn't say I hated them, but the scale problems mentioned bothered me too (Why is Huffer so small despite turning into the same vehicle as Optimus?). But since the third Party figures are scaled to MP, that means the minibots come out to Deluxe size, which makes some of those characters really appealing for my Classics collection.

    I did; I hated the toys as a kid. TFs were basically two lines to me: The little guys with almost no bad guys to fight (Scramble City Decepticons and Constructicons) and then the regular ones. I'd get Gobots who were similar to larger TFs just to use them as stand-ins with the minibots. I wanted my TFs to be either the same size in bot mode or the same scale in alt mode.

    If they're doing the Titans Return Deluxe anyway, please do a Voyager scale of Titans Return Metalhawk. Might be the only way I can actually get one. LOL

    If you make an Upscaled Straxus, call it MERCY DISPENSER for amusing irony.

    Why exactly does half the board seem to be so against voyager seekers? I really don't get it. The majority of the people here seem to prefer a voyager Megatron, and I get wanting the seekers to be shorter than him, but having them be the same size as the Autobot cars just doesn't seem right to me.

    I don't get it either. There may be a lot of Seekers out there, but despite plenty of demand, the only Voyager seekers you can get are;

    Planet X (No good if you want Earth jets)
    I-Gear

    And to my knowledge, that's literally it. I like the I-Gear Raptors, but I don't know if I like them enough to spend close to $300 for just 3. But they're the only game in town at the moment.

    There's also the hard-to-find Cyber Battalion Starscream with no knees and severe hollowness, (worse that the RID line) and it never had a repaint as anyone else. I don't think he's really worth more than the novelty of him if you're not a customizer.

    But it really is shocking that that and the Cloud Starscream are the only official voyager seekers, and both aren't exactly great.

    Slim pickings on the Voyager Soundwave/Shockwave front too. Which I find really strange.

    I would love an Oversized HFTD Voyager Battle Blades Optimus Prime given the same treatment as Evasion Optimus Prime. (Even more than a fixed MPM 4.)

    Not that I disagree with you but Huffer isn't/wasn't the same vehicle as Optimus. He's essentially one of those itty bitty rigs you see in warehouse lots shuttling around trailers for the larger rigs. Still too small though.

    Good idea, I also think if it happens, they should alter the arms so that the truck nose panels are facing the outside of the arms, like the ROTF Leader. Admittedly this is a super nitpicky thing, but it would look better.

    So you are right, I went and looked it up. I had no idea those vehicles even existed before today, I always thought he was just a shrunken down trailer truck.

    If WJ is listening, can you consider a 1:1 copy of CW Prime?

    I deliberately missed out because it was fugly but then comes that beautiful SND kit... *sigh

    I wonder why anyone hasn't upscaled CW skylynx, it would be perfect! And it'd scale better with most collections.
