    I also keep hoping they'll announce a Powered Convoy repaint of UM. I LOVE that color scheme.

    I dunno, the Hastak Brawn is a bit big for me.. here's to hoping MST makes a Brawn / Powerglide 2-pack at their Beachcomber / Seaspray size.

    I would snap that up in a minute. Or a Brawn and Windcharger two pack. If MST included Megatron's fusion cannon that they could both wield even better.

    Yeah, I definitely want more MS (or NewAge) Minibots, and soon. My first choices would be Powerglide and Cosmos, but Brawn and Windcharger would be a close second. I'd like to see NewAge tackle Cliffjumper, so that he remains similar to Bumblebee. Warpath I could wait a bit longer on... the Iron Factory one kinda fills the gap for now, even if he's too big and too aesthetically different.

    If we're talking MS 2-packs, I also really hope that after their Jazz comes out, they circle back around and do a Stepper/Artfire 2-pack with the Inferno mold. Bonus: Targetmasters would be super cute at this size.

    Yeah I'm okay with that Brawn... I never liked him being so ridiculously small. In the first IDW ongoing series(that everyone except me seemed to hate due to Don Fig's art), Brawn was smaller than others but bigger than Bumblebee, if memory serves.

    In any case, that's how big I would like the Brawn in my collection to be.

    See, this is what's so cool about all the options we have now between Hasbro and the various 3P companies -- the opportunity to curate a collection that reflects one's own personal scale preferences and head canon.

    Oh you know it! Another thing is, there are options for customizing, creating alternate-universe versions of characters, or my personal muse of late, kind of a "Hall of Armors" approach to Optimus Prime... As in(and I know this is ridiculous), Optimus donning a different body for a given story...

    I'm so torn on this. I want a Powerglide, but I want his A-10 mode to be close to appropriate scale.
    So I might have to go with the Combiner Wars one.

    Hasbro Brawn is way too big for legends scale and a little too small for classics. Luckily you can do this:

    Transformers sharing parts?....that's unheard of.

    Works for me though ;) 

    No kit. I had a gears painted up as Brawn from before so I just switched arms and legs. No mod yet so I doubt he can transform.

    I'm hoping I can do something similar with MFT Huffer,

    Background is Mechanical Chain bases. Kinda my play area.

    I am behind on IDW, did Ultra Magnus use the Matrix to finally stop the threat of Prowl?

    EDIT: Nevermind. I am idiot, I need to stop checking the pictures on my phone.

    I'm okay with internal components being black. my only incredibly minor gripe is I wish his upper legs were red rather than white. But that's a long-standing gripe I have with most versions of Ultra Magnus: Not enough red in his color palette when compared to the original toy
