With a little retooling (i.e. new head molds) some of the marvel legends figs repainted could make pretty cool Universe TFs. I wonder if Hasbro sees that...

Wow, the legends as minibots thing works well. I wonder if we'll also see Cassettebots in the legends line...

I hope so. Personally I'd love to have the full 1984 (for starters) line of toys in Classics/Universe. We've had more than half of them already, but the majority of the remainder are minibots and cassettes so it would be great to have those guys updated with modern toy technology.

Why settle for updating minibots and cassettes into Legends when they could be done as Scouts?

Legends size would keep the cassettes the same size as the Ravage that comes with Hound, and if they 2-packed them like they did the movie legends, we could get the same pairings that we had in the 80s, which would encourage Hasbro to make Squawkbox and Slamdance. And of course, they might even fit in G1 Soundwave, which would be a plus IMO.

I'd prefer the Minibots had been done as scouts, but if Target's movie exclusives are any indicator, scouts are no longer the great value (price wise) that they used to be.

The size thing already got blown away with Deluxe size Cliffy and BB. Not to mention Powerglide. :-P

I've got nothing against Legends class, I love the little buggers, but I want to see some nicely articulated Scout versions as well. Come on, how can anyone not want Cybertron Hard Top/Swindle repainted as Beachcomber?

I would love to see them as scouts, but I love the legends class figures. I hope wave six has Windcharger, Pipes, Cliffjumper and Gears.

I too would love to see scouts come back -cassettes, minibots and incectacons FTW

Wheelie?! Freakin' Wheelie?

Don't get me wrong. He looks great which is probably why they rebuilt him anyway, just to prove they could make a decent one, but c'mon. On the list of Transformers that need a Classics version did he really need to be so high on the list?

Where's my Classics Shockwave and Arcee?

I must be dilereous, I actually like Wheelie, I think I need a lie down. I love Warpath and Cosmos they're definately bought when I see them. I hope they do Seadpray, Huffer and Windcharger next.

Though the new Legends figures look good, I honestly wished they were Deluxes instead. Maybe they will become Deluxes later on just like how Hound did.

Hmmm...let's see. The global economy is in the crapper, folks are digging remakes of Wheelie and Cosmos and asking for a remake of Sea Spray, and I actually get along with my ex-mother in law.

Yep, the Apoccalypse is coming! Time to ask ourselves "Where is everyone going and why are we all in this handbasket?"

I agree - I would rather have most of the Legends in the Scout class for the reasons you mentioned.

How are Legends typically sold? Will these four be part of a 4-pack?

In the UK, Legends are normally sold individually. For the Movie, we did get some twin packs, mostly with two slightly repainted molds. Argos are fond of bundling three or four of them together and selling them for the same price as three or four bought individually.
