    I've seen that movie at least twice, and somehow I don't even remember the death scene. Even if I did, I don't think that'd necessarily put me off wanting a toy.

    Anyway, I fail to see how we're so different from kids. :lol 

    do not want.

    I'd welcome a tall voyager though. Ratchet has less mass than Ironhide, so it might even out with Leader Ironhide.

    I would love that, but my money is on Megs. He always gets a leader class.

    I agree... I mean, even with MechTech, how had is it to incorporate the copter tail into the robot instead of it simply being kibble? That should even add quite a bit of extra hight

    Be happy you're getting a new legends toy. That's all we're gonna get for a dead character.

    good point. The Cyberverse Commander does this, so they could always elaborate on that basic transformation scheme in a larger-sized figure. And I think it should be possible to make it taller still if they put the right parts in the right place.

    Yeah, they aren't going to give the fourth Leader spot to a minor character who died two movies ago when there are several other characters actually in DotM that are far more likely candidates. I could maybe see a retooled Voyager at some point later in the line, assuming that mold hasn't completely degraded from over-use by now.

    And until "we all" make up a more significant proportion of the TF market than we currently do, Hasbro undoubtedly doesn't care whether "we all" want one or not.

    Yeah, so speaking of wanting a new voyager class figure...


    But what I'm saying is, that we on this website, and Allspark, and Seibertron. There's a ton of us that want him. And I'm pretty certain they know it by now. And if they catered to us, it's not like they'd lose out on the deal. I mean, we wouldn't be the only ones who buy it. We'd just be happier than everyone else who does.

    Am I the only one that finds it hilarious people bitch for a Leader, but got a scout?

    Either way, the little bastard will be bought. And a new Voyager wouldn't be bad... I'm open...

    Why is it assumed that what we want, kids won't?

    Still, I presume Hasbro have their methods. Maybe they can extrapolate based on previous sales. I remember the original Blackout voyager had numerous releases in large quantities. I don't remember it being a particular shelfwarmer despite this.

    yeah, there's probably at least ten of us that want this thing. Hasbro obviously doesn't like money.

    F*ck Leader class Blackout, I'll be happy with a new voyager, but I doubt that will happen, so I'll be getting Legion class one to hold me over for the time being.

    I am glad Hasbro is making a new Blackout toy. However, I do not know anyone who wanted Blackout to be smaller.

    Lol, ironically, I've always wished we had Leader Demolishor, if nothing else, then to make up for how crappy the Voyager is. I just really like his design in the movie. I actually thought it was funny that the Legends class one was actually a more convincing representation of an RH-400...

    I'll always be up for new Voyager of Leader. I only wanted a Leader ever cause he was one of the only Movie characters I like. Never thought about size scale until people mentioned that.
