    Initially i wasn't big on Legends, or Minicons either, but both have grown on me a lot. The amount of detail and resemblance to each character packed into many of the molds is pretty neat. They make a nice complimentary piece to a collection and are fun to tinker with.

    I don't have a lot of Legends, but I adore the ones I do have. I would definitely give my (theoretical) kids a full collection of Legends while they're young.

    Legends also seem more accurate to 'classic' Transformers, since you don't need to go through twenty-odd steps and massage panels into place to switch their modes. I think the most complex one I have is ROTF Arcee.

    I was crazy about them when they first started with Cybertron (I still think Starscream mould is one of the best), but found most of TFTM ones are disappointing (Bonecrusher is an excellent toy though). ROTF has some good Legends and I bought quite a lot again. I am not too impressed with DOTM, but the new Classics Legends are great. So Legends can be hit and miss with me.

    A week ago I could'nt care less, but yesterday I picked up a RTS Legends Prime and Prowl and I liked em so much that I went hunting for more today and found Trailcutter, Gold Bumblebee and Starscream. They're a nice change of pace.

    Megatron's the only one left that I really want. Is he tough to find?

    RTS Megatron tends to be the first to sell out based on what I've seen at the discount stores. If you have a Gabriel Bros check there thats the only place I've seen him.

    I passed on most legends toys until RotF came out. I tend to look out for legends whenever a new line comes out.

    Been seeing the Legends RTS figures showing up at Tuesday morning and Bealles outlet recently, may want to check them if you have those stores near you.

    Legends figures are somewhat of a hit-or-miss with me. Some of the Cybertron Legends were pretty good (I really like Starscream), and the Classics Legends were pretty great, too. Some of the movieverse legends are not as flexible as I'd like, and many are poor representations of the character, but I do like the size and simple transformations.

    My favorite though... I love the RTS Legends. They are simply great figures and great representations. While the Starscream is awesome, the best is easily Megatron. He's one of my favorite figures released in some time. If only there was a Deluxe or Voyager based off of the same thing...

    I love how RtS Megatron looks in my Unicron's hand. It's damn near a perfect fit.

    I have most of the G1 Legends toys and was thinking of selling them. Seeing this thread reminded me what I like about them in the first place: how great they look with combiners, base bots and Unicron!

    I really love Legends/Cyberverse figures. Especialy Cyberverse. They have such neat transofrmations. (Like Leadfoot, Crankcase, and Crowbar.)

    Exept Cyberverse Topspin. God, this thing sucks....

    This. Same reason I bought a few. I just wish the "WST" style mini-TFs had the same balljoint articulation as the modern Legends/Cyberverse figures. That would really be something.

    What attracts me most about Legends is the size, I love small bots like Mini-Bots, but Mini-Cons are too small for me though.

    Legends/Legion are just the right size for me, I have so much fun in transforming them.

    Legends are also cheap compared to Deluxes or even Scouts. DOTM Cyberversion Legion are on clearance in our country right now, 50% off regular price.

    Looking forward to the TF Prime Cyberverse Legion ones. :)

    I had ALOT of big TFs as a kid. Trypticon, omega supreme, Metroplex... The small TFs were some of my all time favs. I still LOVE the original Huffer and pipes.

    I got back into TFs a lil before TFM, and I gotta say...the lil ones are what I screw with the most. My son LOVES them...Even more than really big TFs

    Love 'em to death, I never really dug the puzzle part of a Transformer that much to begin with, so Legends figures are great for satisfying the impatient part of me. Oddly enough, the 2007 movie Prime is the figure that got me to like the size-class, I'm pretty sure everyone else hates that figure though.
