Well, it doesn't look to have the right kind of elbows, and I dont think the head is on any sort of rotating joint, plus the figures themselves are not poseable. But with all the possible areas to combine them, maybe it can achieve normal elbows. And yeah, even then, its abominus, its not a big deal if its got monster arms instead.

Why would anyone think about Legions on the same level as one would a standard-sized figure?

Back in the day they were. Now, "Legends" is used for the Generations 2-packs and are sized between Legion and Commander.
Just trying to appease the pedantic among us...

Legion and Commander? I thought it was Commander and Scout.

Is there even a difference between Commander and Scout? I mean, Rumble and Frenzy were only 3 inches or 7.5 cm tall.

The new Legends class is just a smidge shorter than the Commander class.
Not all Commanders are as lacking in bulk as Prime Optimus.Va'al wrote:Well, yes, maybe, but the legs on the middle one are wider apart in that photo, so they could be same size. No?

Predacons. Terrorcons are zombies in this series.MetroSUplex wrote:I'm a little disappointed that the colors look so similar to the regular Terrorcons...

But as for the similar colors, maybe we could think of this as some sort of powered up form, like a Super Mode or something, for these Preds.
It's not copyright/Trademark issue. Hasbro already used the term "Terrorcon" for something else entirely in this series. So their homage toys to the G1 Terrorcons got added to the ranks of the new Predacon faction.MetroSUplex wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Predacons.

Haha!See, the irony is that I actually took a second to find the "proper" term to call them, and I still got it wrong???

IMO, if they started as "Terrorcons", we still call them that. I mean, sometimes it's all about Trademark/copyright issues and Hasbro will change a name (i.e. Shockblast???).
So if we're calling Shockwave "Shockblast" in the Energon universe... well, that gets all sorts of confusing.
"Predacon" seems too generic as a term, but there's also some confusion with the original combiner, no?Not that Hasbro has to stick to the original uses of a given name, but they're making things awfully confusing for anyone over the age of 10.

They didn't "start" as Terrorcons because the following already took possession of the name:
