As far as his hands, youtuber peaugh put a nice lil mod for those. I've done it and very happy with the results.

When did this ever happen? He seemed like a great figure - apart from the mis-assembled thighs

I disagree, but only because I have a soft spot for 3 inch action figures.william-james88 wrote:The scout class has returned in scale alone, but not in spirit.
True for some of the Gen. scout releases, but not for Beast Wars and Energon. They were heavily simplified. Especially BW with their flippy gimmicks, but no less detailed.The best part of the scout class was that it was as detailed and coplex as the deluxe class
True to all of this, but that soft spot has got me. Even though I'm a little rubbed to get more of the same characters, these just have great play value.These battlepacks are not made to scale with the warriors. It seems like RID toys are not meant to scale across classes (or even their own). Legion Fixit does scale wonderfully with Warrior Bee though.

No, I'm pretty sure he was bigger than megs in the show, right?

Ah but you forget that Beast Wars werent Scout Class figures, they were basic figures. The first ever Scout Class figures were for energon and Signal Flare, Divebomb and Strongarm are as complex as deluxe Hotshot and Mega Ironhide for instance. Cruellock had less steps but that was due to design of the toy. Same with Ravage. A deluxe Ravage would not have been more complex, would it?
This same reviewer puts 9 steps for Signal Flare and 10 steps for both deluxe Prowl and Hotshot.
We dont even have to look there, just look at your most recently aquired Scout figures, TAV Frenzy adn Rumble. Are they less complex than any of the deluxe CW figures?
The Scout class was just a smaller deluxe without sacrificing detail and complexity and I will stand by that. Some Legends toys have done a good job sticking to that idea, such as Blackjack, who is also as complex as both his fellow deluxe class TFs AND combiner wars Silverbolt.
Oh and Sabr, yeah that Iptimus scales with Mgatronus. I just didnt think about him since I dont own him yet. I hope to soon, just so that Optimus isnt as alone.

Also they waste the Bludgeon name on that lil thing? Although trying to look it up on tfwiki meant I came across the Beast Hunters Cyberverse Bludgeon I had never seen before (had avoided most of the BH line cos I wasn't much into Prime and the majority of BH figures are pretty ugly) and I actually like the look of it and now found it at a cheap price on eBay and looking forward to getting it and posing it next to my Blood-enhanced RotF Bludgeon perhaps as a Metallikato apprentice (maybe call him YoungBlud ) So yeah that'll do for me, as for this RID release, nope nope nope.
