Wow- you know there are quite a few issues I have with this line now that I think about it.

Optimus Prime- arm panels in bot mode, fat lower legs, and a terrible vehicle mode (not to mention no trailer)

Megatron- just about everything. Funky nerf-gun alt mode, neon green and orange paint apps??? At least the purple makes SOME sense, and the wings...WHY THE WINGS???!!!

Starscream- paint job (nothing compared to the greatness of Thundercracker's)

Tankor/Octane- ugliest Transformer I've ever seen

Grimlock- utter garbage

Galvatron- why wasn't he a Voyager?! Just way too awkward and loose feeling

GREATEST CRIME OF ALL- no "true" classics Soundwave or even a classics Shockwave

I love how most fans complain about Galvatron and Thunderwing being too small and Powerglide being too big but the Autobot cars and Seekers being in the same size category is ok. The deluxe cars bug the crap out of me. I wish they were basic so they'd fit in with my Dicalones.

Worst Classic screwups though have to be the Legends.

Hound - is an abomination. Terrible, terrible head.

Jazz - almost as terrible as his Pretender inner bot.

Blades, Perceptor, Trypticon, Starscream, Jetfire, Hun Grrr, Scattershot, Hotspot, Razorclaw, Ramjet, Sunstorm - all of these repaints should have been applied to their larger counterparts.

Still, at least the KO's come to the rescue.

Galvatron and Octane are available in a size similar to Voyager while Prowl comes in a Scout size Kabaya kit.

Motto: "AnTagony IS the PitS. MoVe ALonG WoRMs. THis WarS NOT gOnNa WIN iTSelf!"
Weapon: Front-Mounted Anti-Matter Projector
I just opened a Gen Blur. I had high hopes since so many seemed to enjoy him and really hunted him down. He really lacks in articulation, is clunky and can't pose very well with his long rifle.
If they are going to give a bot such a large weapon he should be able to pose/aim with it like Kup. Kup has superior range of motion in his arms and can be posed like he knows what he is doing with such a large weapon.
I'm just gonna transform Blur back into a car and leave him that way :(
