Is that not being equally ungrateful?
No, it's me explaining why I didn't buy a figure I looked at carefully and decided didn't work for me.
Which is what these people did.
And calling him Nerfatron is not explaining anything.
It's the equivalent of calling Galvatron midgetron.
You act exactly as those who you attack, you show the same lack of respect for molds you don't like, mock them with silly names, show no gratitude for getting a new Megatron, a gun Megatron, and you make sweeping generalisations about fans.
You are the pot calling the kettle black.
Sledge wrote:So why should Galvatron be an Ultra class figure? Based on what?
As you said, he "should" be anything from Voyager to Supreme based on fiction or previous toys.
Ultra is an average of all the sizes he "should" be and is one of the sizes we KNOW they are giving us in the Classics line.
Which I can only ASSUME is people's reasoning, as we're not a borg like collective known as the fans.
Note though that in what even you said he "should" be, deluxe was not a contender, not once.
The absolute smallest he ever was was in the comics, and there he was Prime sized, and comic Prime was actually taller than Classics Prime.

I'm not going to defend a "the fans" comment, but you can't call anyone for making them if you make them yourself, unless you want to look like a hypocrite.
However, regarding a "single picture", that doesn't have any effect on what we were told about his size.
As a Marvel comic fan, I'm used to a grey Galvatron, so I use Energon Megatron in the role.
I own both versions, the Voyager and the Leader Class, and despite being the exact same mold, the size makes a world of difference.
He has more prescence, is more dominating and intimidating, he embodies what Galvatron was, represented far more than a smaller version of the exact same mold.
It doesn't matter how many pictures they show; part of Galvatron's appeal was always his size and physical prescence, and those who like him for that reason have been given a figure lacking, so are entitled to complain without being painted as ungrateful bitches that moan about petty things.
Oh, and I constantly judge figures on one picture, and to date, 95% of my impressions have been right.
Some of us can get a lot of accurate information from a single picture.
