    I like Targetmasters, even those who aren't classified as ones. Give me all the Insecticon armies but in Core Class each with their own unique 3rd weapon mode to weaponize just about everyone.

    I don't think two characters need to be the same size to square off.

    Yeah I don’t want them instead of the Deluxe class Insecticons, I want them in addition. I think HasTak has actually got pretty good at Core class toys representing multiple scales where possible - Core class Soundwave is a great version of him that works perfectly with Deluxe class figures for when Soundwave used to shrink down as he transformed.

    It also sounds like a possible upcoming Core class Energon / Armada Megatron being just the tank means he can interact with a hypothetical future Voyager / Leader Energon Megatron as the tank drone too. It’s great when you’ve got different play options like this.

    I have a question on ss86 Magnus. How tall should this commander Ultra Magnus be?

    The OG legends insecticons from the Prime Wars trilogy still hold up really well today. I would strongly recommend those if you don't have them already- in my opinion they're better than the two deluxes we have.

    I could see it going either way, I could see it being just the tank, but I could also seeing it just be a Core Class Energon Megatron.

    We don’t know, but probably similar in size to the WFC version, as they’re going for accurate-ish scale

    Aren't the Legacy deluxe class Insecticons small deluxe figures anyways? Slightly taller than minibots like CJ and Warpath but shorter than the average deluxe figure like Sideswipe.

    Not really. I’ve got kickback on hand and he seems to be face to face with Deluxe cars like Wheeljack.

    I could see him also being Combiner Wars sized, which is only a little bigger. In order for him to be able to haul deluxe sized cars, it'd almost have to be CW sized.

    I prefer the other version for sure. And I'd be okay with him getting a voyager class toy but commander would really be more accurate to the cartoon.

    People who think the Insecticons shouldn't be legends sized are eggs.
    I'm happy with them at deluxe class but they were definitely shorter than the carbots in the cartoon on average.

    I'm pretty sure the shorter and skinnier character would strongly disagree.

    Ideally I think he should be a little more than a head taller than Optimus Prime. But I doubt that's a realistic possibility.

    that’s a fair point.
    My hot take on him is that he won’t have the inner robot. I don’t think Hastak want there to be any compromises so he will be just like the MP

    In the comics, the Insecticons are mostly shown as relatively the same size as everyone else - making Legacy deluxe sizing appropriate:
    [​IMG]

    In the cartoon, they're small enough to stand together on a large branch of a tree:
    [​IMG]

    But they also are portrayed as being somewhat large too:
    [​IMG]

    In the end, the scaling guide makes them the same size as the Minibots, which are currently short deluxes - not Core Class at all.
    [​IMG]

    Eventually, there will probably be Core Class everything G1. But I wouldn't place them next to the regular line bots.

    Think Magnus is supposed to be taller than Rodimus, so he'll probably be traditional leader-sized.

    Ideally, he'd have the inner robot but also would have the perfect transformation as an option as well. At Commander level, I see no reason not to.

    The MP was unfortunately compromised thanks to a massive, ugly butt plate - and that had no inner bot. :/ The best official all-in-one out there is probably a toss up between Combiner Wars and the Titanium figure (one of the best figures from that line).

    The minibots also have more engineering than lying down to be fair

    screencaps show them being about autobot car sized for the most part
