    Anyone else sick of Legends?

    I wish they'd bring back the Scout class.

    Legends is easily my favorite class. Especially the ones that fit the traditional Generations scale (Although, I love the Cyberverse scale characters, too). So, hoping they don't go anywhere! I do like the Scouts I have, too, but I don't see Shockwave, Cosmos, Shrapnel, etc. being better or worse figures from the size that they are.

    Nope. Not in the least. Absolutely love the size class, more so than many of the larger sizes. The more the better, as so eloquently displayed by Tik.

    I also wish Scouts would return in some way, but I'd also like to see a return to Cyberverse Commanders and Legion classes.
    Legends are good to allow small bots to be made to accompany Deluxes, like the upcoming Wheelie and Cassette-bots, but I'd like to see the actual Cyberverse scale, which allows bigger bots to be Commanders and normal ones to be Legions, to make a come back.

    In some ways I agree with you Noble,but the problem is not everyone will side with you.Legends are essentially here to stay because of so many reasons like:

    1.It takes less plastic to make them which saves Hasbro money.
    2.To design them is not as hard,which as you guessed it saves Hasbro money.
    3.Each Legends is cheaper to import from Japan hence makes Hasbro even more money.

    So my point is just because we think they are lame pointless figures doesn't mean Hasbro is gonna do away with them.Sure I would love for them to bring back Basics or Scout Size figures but they will probably never happen again.Later Noble.

    Nope. Scouts were OK, but I'd rather lose leader class than legends

    I would love to see the basic/scout class return in some form. It gave me so many of my all time favorite figures over the years. The recent AoE reuse of the Beast Wars Terrorsaur mold really reminded me how much I missed it.

    I do think the legend class is also good too. Especially if a figure is like Combiner Wars Shockwave.

    I love having the Legends option. Depending on the character, they scale great with the city-bots.

    While I like the current Legends class which fits bots that fit into a chug collection, because they are supposed to be tiny, I rather wish they would re-introduce the smaller Legends class again, because I had a second collection of tiny bots that were all the same size. I bought toys of characters I liked, but that I did not necessarily need a deluxe or voyager version from for that size class to have another side collection. I even bought some Transformers Prime characters in that size class, which I liked in the show. I wouldn't have bought these characters otherwise, because I only collect G1 characters (except for Black Convoy and the two Armada Starscream versions and WFC which are a version of G1 to me) in regular scale.

    The new Legends class I choose only for characters that are supposed to be small. Other characters I don't buy, because they are too tall for my legends collection.

    edit:
    Damn. I wrote chug. This word is like cancer.

    I like legends Arcee because she can have a powermaster as her rider, but other than that, I am not a fan of such small transformers. I would even be happy if they got rid of scout size

    Scout class had some amazing figures, but so does the current Generations Legend class.

    Honestly, what does it matter if they make Legends (or Scouts)? Does it really hurt those that don't like them for the class to exist?
    No, it doesn't. If the class didn't exist, do you really think the 'budget' for them would magically make all the lines you want better?

    Nope. I still want them to update Brawn, Outback, Hubcap, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Kickback, Venom, Ransack, Barrage, the Sharkticons, the Throttlebots, & Micromasters in that size to go with the other already released Legends.

    I'm actually working on a G1 cast in Legends scale, using Legends, Legion and Micromasters, all official with some customs thrown in.
    It is loads of fun to get them all in one coherent scale!
    Your list, aside from the ones already released in Legion scale, would be awesome!

    Nice!

    Legends are generally great figures. I see no reason to get rid of them. And why not just have both legends and scouts instead of just the one?

    Pretty much this, except I have accepted CHUG. What I'd REALLY like for them to do is some common sense repaints of the existing Legion Legends that we'd gotten from the CHUG line. That really snazzy Starscream mold that finally got a stateside release of Skywarp? I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love a Sunstorm and Acid Storm to go with it. Smokescreen from that Prowl mold? Yes, please. And don't get me started on all the Diaclone possibilities. And throw in the TFP Wheeljack mold since he's one of the few from that series that fits the CHUG Legion/Legends aesthetic.
