I've always thought of him as a rather large robot, given the whole gut thing and everything, thus why I suggested Voyager, esp. given the downsized Deluxes lately.
At first I would say Deluxe, hands down, but then considering I do see your point. But I still think he would be just fine as a Deluxe.
I voted deluxe. If he has the height and bulk of Classic Ironhide and Ratchet I will be mire than happy.
I'm gonna say deluxe if they make him like Ratchet/Ironhide size(height and width) but if they would make him tiny, then I'd want a Voyager. But I'd prefer deluxe.
I'd rather have him and any other "classics" characters held off on until they start making toys like Generations Kup and Warpath again. Failing that, I'd want a voyager.
I think a bulky deluxe would be nice, then a retool into Hoist. I already have a voyager Trailbreaker, made one from a movie Ironhide voyager and some repro labels.
Deluxe like they used to be, absolutely. But I feel like Deluxes arent gonna get much bigger any time soon...
Funny that most people seem to be using Ironhide and Ratchet as a point of reference. I was thinking Kup and Perceptor to show pickup truck alt mode as perfectly viable in the Deluxe Class.
