Yes, but also like the Seekers they can cheat as much as they want. Fake chests, legs that tuck underneath with wheels to make them look like they're hovering, the works. Wheeljack and Jazz would probably be even easier than Bee since boxy alt modes lend themselves better to robots. Just look at Ironhide with his square arms and shell legs. Bumblebee would probably have to hide a lot of stuff to his back. If his second MP can do it then a regular retail figure can do it.

Blitzwing is just a personal favorite (I got the original off the shelf) and I would have loved to see an update.

I mean it's got to be Wheeljack, Bumblebee, and Jazz right?

I really hope so. I’d be all over true Cybertronian alt modes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the hybrid space car/Earth vehicle modes for the Autobots, but I was really hoping for a few hovercrafts.

At this point, I think the only 84-85 G1 Autobots they could do that would interest me would be Wheeljack, Whirl (especially given the Cybertronian alt modes), and possibly Jazz, Blaster, and the Omnibots (if they can make them actually look visually interesting). Other than that, they'd have to make some REALLY good looking figures to make me interested in a Tracks or a Trailbreaker or something. Also, I agree that Road Rage, Flamewar, and more non-G1 characters would be spectacular, I still want Deadlock from Springer and Demolishor from Impactor, and I want to get the Insecticons (as Deluxes), Deluxe Insecticons (as Deluxes), and Needlenose, since Spinister has proven they could show up anyway.

I love the Legends-scale classic Insecticons. I think they're perfect, I don't know how they could be improved as Deluxes. Of course, I'm happy with figures that scale to each other like the toys and don't value cartoon fidelity as much as others.

I desperately want a new Generations Drift and/or Deadlock. I keep looking at the secondary market for the original, but the new Flame Toys Furai release should hold me over until we get a new one.

I’d love to see them at that Prowl size but honestly, crazy thought here, if they did Micromaster Insecticons, I’d be so curious to see how they pulled it off. We got the Legends scale over the last few lines, insects are tiny, I dunno I think it’d be interesting.

According to the official scale guides they should be roughly half of Ironhide's size. So Legends is tall enough.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

Looking for:

- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

Meaning we already have them, and we should concentrate on other characters.

I doubt they would do them individually at leader Class. The legends ones are excellent so no point reinventing the wheel there. The deluxe ones are more open to interpretation as they never appeared on the cartoon.

This is why having kickback on that last poll was interesting :-?

New characters definitely. I mean we got Chop Shop from Shrapnel near the end of CW some four years ago....Where are the rest of the DELUXE Insecticons? (as in what they were originally called, not to be confused with the size class of the same name).

Also Considering the fact that 3 of those 4 poll entries have been released as Legends Class (or comparable) recently. I have a feeling the new Runamuck will herald in the return of this size class for the 2020 line as well (as would Needlenose have been if he won) I mean, was there any indication as to the size class of the entries in this poll? I assumed Legends based on the entries.

Well, given the inclusion of Shrapnel on the fan poll, Hasbro clearly disagrees that the Insecticons are taken care of, and is thinking of making a new set of them.

Besides, there are multiple reasons to justify new Insecticons:
Articulation: The level of articulation we're getting on this WFC figures gives them around twice as many points of articulation as a Legends figure (using Ironhide vs Chop Shop as my comparison, I could be wrong depending on the figures), so that would be a welcome improvement.
Popularity: Clearly Hasbro is trying to seed popular/recognizable characters into WFC retail along with the Cogs and the Apefaces and such, and the Insecticons are some of the only G1 Cons left that we didn't get in Siege who are recognizable to a casual-ish audience.
Accessories: Because of the Legends price point, none of the Insecticons got any accessories before, save the T30 release of Shrapnel. Making them at around Refraktor's size would allow for Bombshell, for example, to have his beetle-nose gun, his actual handheld weapon, and possibly if we're lucky, a blast effect compatible cerebro-shell (although they'd probably save that for an exclusive).
The Size Arguement: While the cartoon size chart puts them at Legends size (which I personally don't think should be right, but that's not the point), one also has to remember that the Insecticons were canonically shown to get bigger the more energy they were able to obtain/consume. That means built-in justification for selling bigger figures of them regardless of that scale, just say they're powered up to be more threatening, or that they had more easy access to Energon while on Cybertron on the winning side of the conflict.
Remolds: Depending on the remolding they're willing to do, they could easily get both an Insecticon and a Deluxe Insecticon each from each of the molds, as multiple site users have argued before.

I still don't buy into this theory of yours, because why would they make new molds of the same characters in the same size class that we just got in Prime Wars (or as a Takara exclusive, in Runamuck's case)? They confirmed at SDCC that they are new molds, because Warden mentioned accounting for Runamuck having all his wheels end up on his feet. Plus, Quake and Spinister are already Deluxes, having Needlenose be as size class smaller than his partners would make no sense, and Needlenose was also in the running to get a figure IN SIEGE from that poll, so they should already have a Deluxe-sized mold for him in the works that would have been released had he won his second poll because Siege has no Legends class.

It would still be nice to get the Legends Insecticons done as a giftset with a unifying color scheme and maybe a bit of retooling to add Titan Master compatibility into Shrapnel and Bombshell. Generations Selects, perhaps?

I'll be honest, Leader class Insecticons would genuinely interest me :lol: Although, something I'd like to see revisited was the concept of RiD Chop Shop where he was almost a swarm that combined to form his robot mode. But we definitely need the Deluxe Insecticons at some point. Actually, I feel like we need more toy only characters to be revisited, rather than just cartoon characters. Mostly because so many late 80s-early 90s characters never got anything outside comics and haven't been revisited too often outside of cons or the occassional repaint

Multiple reasons against them being deluxes as well though besides already having decent representations of them and siege would open them to having hollowness of arms or legs, alts not resembling an earth or cybertronian thing, scale being wrong.
I think they will turn up in siege though and just saves me from buying them and no doubt diaclone colours for selects.


Old leader class size would fit :P but they would definitely not be radio controlled :( sighs, back when toys could be inventive rather than rehashes. Just like reflector being out of scale its all a matter of which toons/scenes they were in. Deluzes are very possible for them.

Thing is you're arguing articulation, but that's arguing legends versus Deluxe which isn't very fair considering price points. You may not agree with the scale but hasbro seems to be sticking with it, so I don't think they'll be Deluxes without major accessories to allow a legend sized bot mode. Personally I'd prefer a boxset via selects freeing up retail wave space for more deserving characters.

Personally I'd prefer a boxset via selects freeing up retail wave space for more deserving characters.

I think you missed my points a bit on those two: I was arguing current articulation is better than articulation when the Insecticons last came out (I just got SS KSI Boss in the mail today, a repaint of a figure from around the same time, and he has exactly as much articulation as Chop Shop with the exception of one transformation joint) and they deserve an upgrade in that regard, and I was pointing out that Insecticons can really be released at any scale they want and it would still be justified because they canonically change size.

If you'd prefer a boxset of the Prime Wars bugs, more power to you, I'm not trying to say you're wrong for wanting that, but I think that's kinda unlikely at this point.

The size thing hasbro probably wouldn't use as they'd just as much look at that scale guide, then that's it. Either way, I'd rather new characters that haven't seen an update in years, like the turbomasters or the predators. Although Sky Quake did see an update of sorts in the Prime show

I think this makes a pretty good Target exclusive team.

I also have to say, having Redwing in hand, I feel bad for badmouthing this mold so much. It's actually really emjoyable and fun. The tetrajet itself feels really solid in hand

Articulation shouldn't be measured in just points, but in range as well. The type of joint should also be considered. Siege has marked a switch from ball joints to more robust universal joints with multiple points of movements for Deluxe Class (with the former more ideal for smaller figures), so while the range is the same, the upscaling would make them sturdier in the long run.

Don't forget that Hasbro sometimes splits up members of certain groups across multiple lines. The Decepticon Targetmasters and the Seekers are more exception than rule. We may get one in the 2nd part, but the rest we'll have to wait on.

I’m totally down with deluxe Insecticons with WFC articulation.

Well, if the bugs are too polarizing, let’s see Cybertronian alt modes of the Battlechargers.
