    The thing about cliffjumper is he's going to be tiny. IF's tiniest so far. That changes the way you'll look at him in hand. I think he'll be great.

    I thought he looked pretty bad when it was a render, but just becoming a real thing made him look better.

    .. Which is good, because I AM buying him. (I am so close to having a complete IF collection

    I might still get Cliff if he's around the $20 mark. He's not terrible, and his alt still looks better that Windblades

    Yeah. Now that they revisited Soundwave I am hoping for a Windblade more like their Seekers or the new cars.

    I didn´t like their Cliffy at first but it grew on me over time :3 Now I really want it!

    Magnus I don´t know... would be 100% in if instead of ugly minimus ambus the core bot was a white optimus like on the Siege Mags... maybe they could make that for an alternate version? I´d buy that even if limited.

    1 im not replacing my azure iF magnus, especially for something THAT over scale....
    2 cliffjumper is divine in generations legends cliff. he almost as good as legends chop shop. the same cannot be said for bee in that mold the yellow is .. meh. HAving said this as New Age bumblee has agressively made its way into my collection.. (its a AWESOME mold) so cliffjumper will have to be of that scale or stay hasbro legends.

    now... lets talk legends skids, windchaarger and brawn.

    How do you figure Maximus Magnus is over-scale?

    I'm totally with you on a white robot cab Magnus with armor/Siege style. That's my dilemma too since I'm not into the MAmbus concept and it was the reason why I abandoned MTMTE/Roberts once it made a debut.

    On the hand, this figure is the closest to Don Figueroa IDW UM once I strip down the dual shoulder cannon and the kibble on the side of the leg. I will think about it....

    1 Well IF first Magnus was too small in vehicle mode compared to IF´s autobot cars. Magnus Robot scale is rather inconsistent unless you go strictly by the G1 chart. For no0w My Magnus is Papa Toys... he is huge, but he can carry some legends carbots on his back ;) 
    2 My issue with Generations Cliff and bee is the articulation. My issue with newage is that I plain out hate G1 Bee as a character and only likes him when he is less useless like on IDW, animated, prime, WfC etc

    whoa, you were more radical than me, I kept reading despíte my disappointing, mostly because I was inall for autobot Megs :3

    and yeah, I will wait and see how I like him and if Iron Factory may get smart and do an alt version the way I suggested, if they do, they will catter to everyone who hates Minimus Ambus which is a lot of people XD

    I mean, just so we're all clear here, this new Magnus figure isn't supposed to be a regular Ultra Magnus... He's *supposed* to be huuuuuge

    This girl actually :3

    But then, why not do both? I mean the Minimus ambus will happen anyway, and alternate version would make a lot of people happy including IF :3

    I don't think I would care for this mold if it was G1 Magnus as is. The style leans IDW pretty hard, and the sheer size of it carries the essentially a mech vibe. A fully G1 Magnus would be big, but probably not that big. More in line with their existing Optimus' scale in either mode.

    Some IF stuff isn´t exactly IDW nor G1 and more like their own thing. There are IDW ideas I love like Rodimus, Brainstorm, Trailbreaker and specially Megatron. Magnus was among those until the reveal of Minimus ambus, so to me either making him a small white prime or just having a standard cab which incormporates into transformation like most G1 maguns do works for me. Just think that as a retool, the white Magnus is easier.

    My collection is more like "my own fiction/timeline" so yeah, as long as it is not something bad, I am in.
