Ever since 1984, Transformers have come in all sorts of crazy sizes, even within a single year's lineup.

In "modern times" there are now official names for the various size classes, and we now can usually grab our favorite characters in more than one size if we so choose.

However, let's say you could only collect one size/class - what would it be and why?

For me, I like Voyager. I honestly don't think most Voyager transformations are any more complex than the average Deluxe size figure and Deluxe figures just seem scrawnier and scrawnier all the time.

I think people would have a hard time collecting just one size, as a lot of us like to have a scale that's true to the series from which the character comes that is represented by the specific toy. For example, if I get deluxe figures for the regular characters such as Bee and Screamer, I'd want Voyagers for Prime and Megatron. But that's just one way to look at it.

Personally, I am down to collecting Deluxes only, due to space restriction and prices/quality. What I mean is that most Voyagers are the same quality a the Deluxes and cost twice as much. The only exceptions I would make anymore would be Masterpieces if any caught my eye. (Sunstorm

Scouts/Basic.

I actually really like transformers for all the different sizes, comparing a scout to a voyager just makes them both awesome.

Though I'd go with the littler ones. Just to have them go better with other toys I collect.

Deluxe, because it contains the most figures.

MP Grimlock size - for everything. If I could have an RTS Jazz in that scale I think I would be able to hang up my collecting boots and die happy. No-one needs to tell me this is impractical and wont happen - I know.

The way current scaling is going we are all going to end up collecting a lot more Scout/Basics as Deluxes shrink and Voyagers get fewer and further between.....

deluxe is my preferred base scale, and the larger characters I'm generally ok with being Voyager (the ones I'd like in leader scale rarely get made at that size) and smaller guys will be scouts/basics or in some cases even Legends size. I tend to avoid buying multiple of the same character in different size classes, because I'd rather have everything fit into one collection and would rather spend money on a new character than a variation of one I have already (he said, thinking about how many Primes and Megatrons he owns)

Although I try and buy as scale-accurate as I can, I must say that Human Alliance has been a favorite of mine. Although characters like Megs and Prime wouldn't be included, I still love the size accuracy, articulation, and overall feel of the main HA figures.

Very good point.

If I had to choose just one, deluxe. Most characters turn out pretty good and there's a nice balance of cost vs. complexity. Voyagers are cool when done right but kind of expensive, and few things suck worse than an overly-simplistic voyager. Scouts just aren't big enough to have enough detail. Leaders are great, but who could afford that all the time? So deluxe it is!
