Please make a Leader Class Animated Lugnut!!!

WHy is it soo hard to make one??

The Voyager Lugnut doesn't even fit well with the rest of the Decepticons.

Does anyone feel the same way here??

We should all vote to have a Leader Class Lugnut.

imao he's fine the way he is; ugly and a waste of $20.

Tekka fully supports the quest for Leader Class Lugnut. Even if all we get is an oversized KO.

LEADER CLASS LUGNUT NOW!!!

Boo, boo, animated stinks!

Ah, just kidding. I, as someone who doesn’t like animated, like Lugnut. But I think there’s no point at all for a leader class version of his toy.

Really, I don’t even like leader class which is why I usually just buy the smaller counter parts of each figure. IMO a leader class figure should be something like an base, or fortress, not an oversized jet.

Hey Tekka, is that true about SkyWarp?

If so not bad, the SS coming out is in TC blue, and I'm sure there'll be a G1 exact exclusive at some store, so nice.

Oh and yeah, I couldn't care less about LugNut, but you know, yeah do it for the guys who want it.

Yup, was confirmed at Botcon.

Yeah it's true.

He was announced at Botcon. Can't wait to get my pre-order in.

Cool, I like the way the that looks outside of that friggin smile.

Sat May 03, 2008 1:49 pm

Yes Hasbro, please make a Leader Class Lugnut!
To be honest though, I think there will be one coming in future waves. There's 2 Autobot Leader-class (Bulkhead and Ultra Magnus) and only one decepticon (Megatron)
And Lugnut's showing to be a popular character
I'd buy one in a heartbeat!

Keep in mind that is just a digibash I did way back when the first Starscream prototype got stolen.

Yeah, but Hasbro is normaly to lazy to retool, so no matter what, it's still gonna have that friggin smile.

Unless it's painted on, in which case they could give him a different expression pretty painlessly.

Quoted for 100% agreement. Actually I'd prefer it if they just did a smaller scale Blitzwing that was to scale with Lugnut.

All the shops near me still have heaps of Movie Leader Class Megatron, which have been warming shelves non-stop since summer 2007. If they can't sell leader class Megatron, they'll have a tough job selling a leader class Lugnut, (or, last year when it was a Leader Class Bonecrusher people wanted).

The only way it could happen is if Animated is a big success and goes on for several years without the demise or fall to obscurity of Lugnut, and without the addition of more interesting big guys to the lineup.

Even then it's a bit of a longshot.

yeah but what special feature would leader lugnut have... mimics? it could be kitbashed lol.

anway, a leader class lugnut doesnt make sense i think.

News Credits: 2 · Sat May 03, 2008 5:57 pm

Special features... Well he'd have a larger version of the staff. Plus he could have another automorph feature in his hands where he can bring out pressure sensitive explosive devices, the ends of which can light up when pressed.

Of course the usual electronic light and sound is a no brainer. "All hail, Megatron!"

Sat May 03, 2008 10:09 pm

What's the point of a Leader Class Lugnut??

Well scale wise, they should make a Leader Class Lugnut.

You have toy Megatron, Starscream, and Blitzwing standing tall and then there's Midget Lugnut where in reality in the series he's second only to Megatron in height.

As a collector, it's just soooo frustrating looking at inaccuracies.

And YES HASBRO PLEASE MAKE A VOYAGER MOVIE BONECRUSHER TOO!!!

While I would love to see a Leader Class Lugnut, what I really want to see is a Voyager Class Sentinel Prime.

News Credits: 668 · Sat May 03, 2008 11:19 pm

I've come to terms with the fact that there won't be a Leaser Class Lugnut. Sure, the scale thing bothers me a bit, but, the entire line is wonky in that department anyway.

I mean, Leader Class Bulkhead is really no taller than a Voyager and his Voyager mold is no larger than a Deluxe, so what can you do?

Besides, Lugnut's not that far out of scale anyway.

Sun May 04, 2008 5:26 am

Well, I can't see any problems with bringing out a leader-class Lugnut. Given the amount of popularity the character has, the Leader-class toy should sell quite well.

News Credits: 4 · Sun May 04, 2008 10:44 am

Well, the movie line had 3 leader class molds. Animated has 3 leader class molds. There's a natural limit to how many of these expensive toys they can sell each year.

I think they made the right choices for Animated. I wouldn't swap either Leader Bulkhead, Megatron or Magnus for a Leader Lugnut.

News Credits: 2 · Sun May 04, 2008 10:59 am

I'd swap Leader Magnus and Voyager Lugnut for Leader Lugnut and Voyager Magnus in a heartbeat.

I know LEADER Bulkhead is still iffy but at least his taller than the rest of the Autobots except for Voyager Prime.

And Yes, Lugnut is wayyyyy out of scale. Even Black Arachnia is taller than him.

That really sickens me putting all the Decepticons together.

Black Arachnia is taller then Lugnut??? I didn't know he was THAT small....

Yes, he is THAT SMALL.

That is why Hasbro should at least make him at least Blitzwing's size.

It's like having a minicon or a mini cassette Decepticon compared to the others if you put them together. :roll:
