I'm not hoping for a KO, but they 'upscaled' some legends into voyagers a year back right? Those terrorcons? I wonder if TT/Hasbro would downscale this. They had 2 sizes for the Cybertron Starscream.

I can hold out for a 50% off sale if they ever have one again.

I'm sure Hasbro would if they could but I think they kind of screwed themselves with Combiner Wars. If they downscaled this mold to a voyager for the Seekers, some people/casual fans would be like, "Hey, why doesn't this combine with the deluxes?". Because right now Hasbro can say that ANY voyager in Combiner Wars can combine with ANY deluxe in Combiner Wars. And they can only put it in Combiner Wars. Generations is essentially dead/replaced with Combiner Wars. And they can't put it in Robot is Disguise because it's too complicated for that line. Does that line even have voyagers?

Nah, I think I'd still like to see a KO do it. If only because they can do stuff that Hasbro can't. Like repaint Jetfire into every Valkyrie from Macross ever. Not that I want to support KOs. This is just one of those rare exception where a KO company could do a lot more than Hasbro ever will, could, or even should. I mean, do really want to pay $300(or way more if you buy secondary market) for a BotCon 3-pack of Rainmakers based off this mold or would you rather pay $90 for 3 KOs in the same colors?

We already have a new Voyager sized Starscream based loosely off his Infiltration run coming out. I doubt they would be doing a second new Voyager Starscream on top of the Leader class.

But who knows, I could be wrong and we might get twelve more.

Why didn't they just do a Seeker combiner? It would have been an awesome opposite to Superion. Starscream the torso, Thundercracker, Skywarp, AcidStorm and Sunstorm as the limbs.

Props for a fairly clever reuse of this mold for the Seekers, but I'm with the majority in thinking the Leader class scale is totally out of whack for these characters. Why not do a Leader Windblade too, if you want to get the most out of the Jetfire design? It's equally as doable as this is, and would be only a little more ridiculous scale-wise.

Holy Leader Class Jetfire retool, Batman!!!

This toy wishes it was MP-11.

This mold should not be used for any Seekers. Not with that tail fin behind the shoulders.
