I agree. The design is awesome, but this constant downsizing is starting to have the same effect on me as when we started getting tiny non-transforming figures back in the day (I.E. "Action Masters"). Hasbro has completely lost the ability to judge which figures should be in what appropriate size class (this has been going on for a while-Cl Jetfire/Powerglide, CL Galvatron, etc). And now even the inappropriate size classes are shrinking.

As a result, so is my interest, I'm very sorry to say.

This fact alone will sell many G1 fans on this toy.

Thanks

Yeah, I'll agree with you on all points. I'll probably pick him up if I stumble across him at retail but I won't go out of my way to get it.

I am so relieved that I'm not the only one that was thinking that.
