Blackout would still be on the small scale side as a Leader-class. I say make Blackout a Supreme, Starscream a Leader, and Bonecrusher a Voyager.

If I had to choose between the two, I would easily pick Blackout. He had the more detailed robot mode, a much nicer alt mode, and his Voyager toy was fragile, to say the least.

Starscream is just an ugly looking thing in robot mode, and a jet with legs sticking out in alt mode. No matter how "cool" his automorph is, it cannot change the fact it is an ugly character in both modes, a Leader toy wont change that.

I'd want a Blackout over a SS, because I like how Blackout looks more. :-P

I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. The f-22, though not quite as cool looking as the f-15, is a beautiful, sleek fighter. Starscream's awesome CG model would also translate much better into a leader class figure.

Unless of course you think that a leader version would simply be a ballooned remake of the voyager toy, in which case you'd be wrong.

Blackout most definitely. So obvious it is not even funny. Especially after the horid reviews of the plastic stress occuring from transforming the voyager sized one. We deserve a better made one.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

The vending machine bot is called Dispensor, people [-(

As for it being a leader, that would be just stupid. Deluxe would be more appropriate. As for the Nokia bot, a basic would be best, but it really wouldn't be accurate at all.

Blackout, for sure. I don't consider Starscream a Starscream, for my collection's sake... he's the red-headed-step-child-black-sheep of the family whom is going up for adoption and we must never speak of him again.
