Waspinator looks amazing! I can't wait to have him in hand...and permanently give him Screamer's null rays. :lol:

Megatron is too short. He should NOT be shorter than Starscream.

Makes me wonder how tall the Thrilling 30 Deluxe Megs is in comparison, because that Starscream looks quite a bit like he did in Spotlight: Megatron. If he's slightly shorter than a Cyberverse Commander, the scale might just about work.

There's no scale among Legends figures. This isn't Cyberverse, with Commanders and Legions. This is more like the old-school Legends lines: all the figures are the same size, scale-be-damned. OP and BB aren't to scale either.

The good news is that these guys can probably blend in with other lines, as you suggested. I'm already thinking the Legends BB, in bot mode, would look good with WFC Optimus, since he resembes WFC BB.

Come on Sabrblade, mellow out a bit.

It's clearly G1-themed Starscream, isn't it? Does it really matter what design of Starscream he resembles? After-all, Beast Wars Waspinator didn't transform into a weapon. Yes the biography alludes to the Beast Wars episode 'Possession', but that doesn't mean it is. Who's to say such an occurrence wouldn't happen in an alternate universe anyway?

I like the artwork on Megatron's card. He looks a little on the puny side, like a bot that actually used to work the mines. The colours of the figures are a little bland, so I may pick up the Takara versions instead.
