    Well, they're not as small as you might think. The most iconic shots have BW Megatron much smaller for dramatic effect.

    I like size difference and a dragon should be big in my mind, and the biggest monster on cybertron could stand a bit bigger, it's all my personal opinion though.

    Personally, I'm on the side that I like them being big animals... much like this:

    this pic makes me very happy, because I love the idea of a VW Bug sized Rat, riding on a Semi sized gorilla's back.

    You know from what I've learned/heard a lot of animals from prehistoric times actually were larger then most modern day animals so one can look at Kingdom's scaling as showing an example of that. I mean with WFC being a rebooted Generations line along with a new take on the G1 timeline it's a good way to make it more distinct from the original G1 timeline.

    Paleotrex is hot. Plain and simple.

    Can't wait for the other fossilizers. These things are some of the most original transformers stuff in YEARS, and the wild proportions work weirdly well.

    There is 1 thing that makes me suspicious. The list on Seibertron.com says that there is a Voyager Starscream and a Core Starscream. This makes me wonder, because Starscream never had a toy release in Beast Wars. He was released in Machine Wars as a redeco of Predator Skyquake, but that seems too large. This makes me wonder, "why are there 2 Starscream listings?" I can tell that the Core Megatron and the Core Optimus Prime are most likely based upon the transition period Bat Optimus Prime/Primal (inspiration for Convobat) and Crocodile/Alligator Megatron (inspiration for Megalligator). And it is especially interesting that there are 5 Fossilizers. We know of Ractonite and Wingfinger, but not any others. I think that at least 1 of them will be based upon Orcanoch or Arachnid from the Beast Wars MicroVerse toy-line part. I think at least 1 of them will be the transition between Earthrise and Kingdom. In fact, that name, "Ractonite". "Arachnid" might not be the best choice for a trademark, but "Ractonite" is perfect. He might also have a "base mode" and a "robot mode", considering that "Ractonite" sounds way to similar to "Arachnid", it can't be a coincidence.

    Starscream is an ER repack
    Ractonite is a Styracosaurus. Also, this Fossilizer is named Paleotrex.

    Also, about the Cores, Megs and Prime are both G1 versions, not bat and croc. And the two Core Fossilizers are codenamed Vertebreak and Dracodon.

    This doesn’t look absolutely correct in that Rodimus Prime is mentioned as being one of the leader class figures.

    So weird.

    I'm planning to pick up one of those figures... no guesses as to which one.

    The Core Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream are their classic G1 designs (with the exception of Megatron being a tank). And Ractonite is a Styracosaurus.

    Kingdom Leader Rodimus has seemingly been deconfirmed.
