Wait... What?
Rated X, please.
Its true. Little kids have small hands so the most popular characters are always given the "leader" treatment. You will never see hasbro do a new mold of an obscure character in leader scale. (Maybe a repaint like armada megs) With Jetfire being the exception, leader class figures dont scale with anything. They are just oversized figures for kids to enjoy. Theyre not MP figures just because they are the same size. They arent complex enough, nor are they cartoon accurate. They were clearly geared towards kids, not collectors. If some collectors like stand alone figures that dont scale with anything, theyre free to buy into it. But these are for kids. Thats why he is a tank. He has been neutered.
That's a way of thinking but may I point out the good Ol' ROTF Leader Optimus? Clearly designed for little timmy.
Also, it's not always the same characters that get Leadered.
DOTM Sentinel Prime and Ironhide, Movie Brawl, ROTF Jetfire, ROTF Starscream...
Also, scale. Leaders never scale with anything? Allow me to present:
AoE Optimus Prime, CW Ultra Magnus, Gen Jetfire, Cybertron Optimus Prime and Megatron ect...
It's your personal opinion. Not a fact. Big figures designed for kids are things like the Ultimate AOE Grimlock and those giant 1 step figures. Also, Prime's Weaponizers.
Also, parents tend to buy little timmy the cheap stuff, not the 70$ figure.
