The Transformers Official Youtube Channel has uploaded a slew of Transformers Designer Desk videos. They give you a sneak peak into the design of various Age of Extinction figures by Hasbro designers. The videos cover Generations Deluxe Slug, Generations Voyager Hound, Generations Voyager Grimlock, Generations Deluxe Drift and Generations Leader Optimus Prime.

Those videos were all very, very well done.

They've got me quite excited for Drift & Hound, at the very least!

>:oP ok after watching all those nicely done videos I have 2 open questions... I wish Bill Paukert & Jhon Warden (transformers toy design managers) could answer...

1. What happened to Cyberverse/Legends/Legion/3"tall collection?
2. Why random scale/size for AoE toys?

I am afraid I will have to skip this new movie toys, they don't fit my actual "hug" collection. I've been collecting for years and I understand in the beginning scale was not important, but 30 years later, we, collectors have toys with similar scale and continue collecting them by scale. Just my opinion as a serious collector. Please if there is still a chance re-take what became a standard...

Wait, what? Did you mean to type CHUG, or am I missing something here?

Sorry, my bad... "huge" collection.

And yes, "random" those delux are smaller than any other delux, those 1 step are to big compared to cyberverse, legends are about 3/4" taller than previous legends, etc.
