Pretty things are good That's also funny you said "Guuuuuuuuuiiiiiiiisseee". When I was a kid and made a Valentine's Day card for my family I wrote in it "I love you guise"

Robits in dese guise (houseses).

D-Max, one thing I love about Legends/Commander/Scout class is the can serve 2 purposes. Leaders for your Legions, and/or minis for your Deluxe and up guys. I held off on buying any 3P Bee's or Cosmosi because I knew, if I waited, Hasbro would do exactly what they did. Huffer and Cosmos are two of my favorite guys from most recent times.

And Cary nailed it. These classes are fun, because they are the most toy like. Just toys, nothin' fancy. Quick to transform, fun to battle, and you can have an army of them in the space of four deluxes.

Party!!

I use them as mini's in most cases, and they serve their purpose well. I have 6 minibots on my Lost Light shelf alone and it is so fun to fiddle with those guys. Cosmos is a scream! Prime I bought because he was in a walmart clearance bin half opened but still intact, and he stands in Metroplex's hand to do the whole "Metroplex heeds the call of the last Prime" thing.

That's always fun to do

Oh it is. When I saw him, and this was after I got Metroplex, I knew it was the prefect fit. That was where he was going. And he and Scamper stand tall and proud with my Titan

Metroplex is so much fun. I wonder what baby girl is gonna do when Fortress Maximus arrives and plays her favorite song?!

MAN! Those IF Dinos look so good in robo mode, but I just can't get behind their alt modes.... yet.

I'm thinking about giving this guy a try.

I need to think long and hard about Fort Max. When I'm actually home for a bit in July I intend to do some cleaning and mass-rearranging to my room and I need to find a place so that Devastator, Metroplex and Fort Max can fit.

This is why when I get my own house there will be a room dedicated to shelves for display. I like Thew's though with his homemade shelves just taking up almost a whole dang wall

I just started hanging out with my Transformers Prime Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime and Megatron again. They are the cool.

I adore that Cyberverse Megatron. I still cant beleive they actually are able to give him his same wacky alt mode, with face guard, when there is 0 evidence of him being able to tansform. I already gave him the number 1 spot on a list once.

Their size hits a sweet spot that feels more toy-like than action figure. I find that when I play with the smaller guys I have more of that childlike wonderment; my imagination has to fill in the blanks.

Here, to me, is the ultimate statement on less is more:


Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predaking (2014) Gallery

The toy on the left is the "voyager version" of Cyberverse predaking upscaled and it keeps the trnsformation with some slight alterations, while the one on the right is the Beast Fire Predaking which is supposedly bigger than leader class. The Cyberverse version is the better toy. It has the better looking Dragon mode a nice leaner and more kilelr looking robot mode and a more complex transformation (no joke) where all his limbs transform to have different feet and hands in either mode. And this is the same in the original smaller version.

I was a bit disappointed in the initial voyager Predaking. Wish I could have got that newer cyberverse upscale one

What's up with the upscaled versions?! I saw them in the gallery the other day when I was angering myself looking at what toys I don't have.

They took 6 legion guys and just decided to make them bigger. The deluxes have the same articulation as the little guys so they weren't as impressive, but Predaking and Optimus came out pretty awesomely. Just sort of happened, and it was so late that few ever got sold

What do you want to know exactly? I will be happy to help. It was a mixed bag overall and the only one I would really recomend would be the Pradaking since they added some sculpting to him and changed some of the transformation and plastic used.

Speaking of little guys, my road dog, fun and sandwiches.



I'm about 2/3 skimpy on spinach today. I need to go shopping. Yeah that's the most boring 150 calorie sammich you're gonna find

Ha! Cary is watching his figure! Get it?

I just watched the vid on those Dynobots. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, they are really cool. I'm now having my own "War Within".

And once again Dr. Va'al is pushing Iron Factory in my I.V.

Well thanks D-Max and WJ for answering my inquiries about the figures. And yeah Cobo, these legends are almost too much!! Va'al!!!!!!

Cary, watching his figure with his sandwich choice as well

Them IF Dynobots are...

You know, all this talk of the best Legion class figures makes me feel a list might be in order

Cobo, I have decided to make it be the special 40th list. So you have till 2016-07-23 to finalize it

I can do this!

What are the boundaries for best legion class toy? does that include all cyberverse, scout, legends and legion class guys then like Swerve and Windcharger?

No, just legion class, the tiniest of the tinies. Those you mention are going on another list which I already wrote where I combine Scouts with Legends. The big difference here is about scale. Scouts and the legends you mention are meant to scale with bigger toys, while the legions are their own smaller scale.

No, just legion class, the tiniest of the tinies. Those you mention are going on another list which I already wrote where I combine Scouts with Legends. The big difference here is about scale. Scouts and the legends you mention are meant to scale with bigger toys, while the legions are their own smaller scale.

The lines get blurry when you bring in Commander class (which is really just Scout/Legends), but we already covered that posts ago.

For the purpose of the lists, the Editor calls the shots.

So let me straighten this out for myself here..

Cyberverse Commander Transformers Prime Optimus Prime/Megatron = legends/scout
RTS G1 Optimus Prime/G1 Megatron = legion?
