I havent heard anything about any upcoming Leader Class figures. But then again, I'm usually a step or two out of the loop. Still, unless they do a new character, my money's on Starscream. I really cant see Hasbro doing a leader class of any of the other movie bots (those actually in the movie).

Although, know what would be cool? Leader Class Frenzy.
His complexity would be staggering. That figure would truly be a work of art. I'm sure it'll never happen though.

I don't believe there's gonna be anything. They have already made Prime, Megatron and Brawl, plus is it 2 repaints? so it's 5 leader class figures in movie line. And that's already more than there's been in many other lines...so expecting even more is a way to just disappoint yourself.

I agree with you. And without too many gimmicks. I keep thinking about Ultimate Bumblebee. He really is the most detailed of all the figures. I was looking at some concept art and comparing them to UBB... most of the panels, cabling, etc are a match.

What spoilt it was the compromises on proportion they had to make to fit his electronic gimmicks. What a waste. If UBB would have focussed on really being movie detailed, proportionate and accurate, he could have been a Masterpiece version almost.

So yeah, a Leader Class Frenzy, or in fact any other figure, where more effort was spent on design engineering and architecture, requiring a complex transform, would be great.

starscream would be nice as a leader class but they should even out the charcters. a movie bumblebee that has a correct chest and no huge batterypacks or a gun built into the arm would be nice.

And pray tell where are these rumours? I thought all this "larger versions of movie toys" threads had finally taken the hint. It aint happening.

Do you people actually read these "rumored" threads, or just COMPLETELY confide in the subject line? :roll:

lol... my thoughts exactly, these aren't gonna happen dude... besides, I think, well I hate to do this since i try to not think about the 2nd movie but, if they have starscream play a bigger role in transformers 2, wouldn't they make a leader starscream then? And already the movie line already has 5 leader figures.

If they were to do another Leader class it should be Bonecrusher. I'm already contemplating the Leader class Brawl because in the movie he was closer to being that size. Bonecrusher was too. The others can stay the size they were.

Wait, wait, lets restart he rumors of the Botcon seekers being re-released in the Universe line....

As much as I would love a Leader Blackout and SS, it just isn't happening.

Honestly, in retrospect, I wish they hadn't done leader prime and Megs. They shjould have just done them in Ultra, and that would have kept the bot modes overall, somewhat in scale.

Maybe they'll do a Leader Starscream for the sequel's toy line, if Starscream takes a major part in that film.

Good point. I was sad to see them do a Thundercracker in this line. I was hopin he and Skywarp would be making appearances in the sequel. I think the repaint as TC means no TC in the sequel. :-(
