He is because it seems his arms always want to pop off at various places.

yeah the dude did say that but then again it looked like he was twisting around the figure so many times reminds me how energon wheeljack used to powerlink as legs and in the cgi he twist turned himself so many times i wouldn't be bale to tell what just happened lol
but as a toy he was so easy to transform/powerlink

i think i gotta get a blaze master now lol
love the chicken legs and the fact that he can be posed!

Re: what class of tf figures do you like and collect the most?

Deluxe is a given. I would think something like Voyager would rank up their, but Voyagers rarely are linked with important characters and thus the budget/focus is put into other areas.... If you look at the opposite ends of each spectrum, Legends/Basics have low budget and thus can't be as nicely painted or complex while Leader/Ultimate/Supreme while complex and high on paint, tend to be bogged down with forced gimmicks/electronics and what not that can hinder the toy.

Re: what class of tf figures do you like and collect the most?

Its kinda unfair, because there are usually more Deluxes than any other class.

But for once, That is what she really said.

As for me it really depends. I collect all size classes and in each size class there is a shinning example as to why that size class works.

For example:

Legends class: Animated Bumblebee: I love this figure because there is so much toy in such a little figure. The recent universe figures are another good example for great universe figures. But the Movie legends figures really do nothing for me.

Deluxe Figures: Always a good representation of a character for a good price. There have really been too many great ones in recent history to mention, but there have also been some duds.

Voyagers: I like the voyagers that are made to be larger than their deluxe counterpart because of scale issues. For example, Animated Blitzwing needed to be bigger than Soundwave. But I hate when they make a figure a voyager when they could have been either a Deluxe or a Leader/ Ultra.

Ultra/Leaders- There has been some really good ultra/leaders in the last few years. But I find myself being bothered with all the electronics and voice chips that are put into these. Like how much room did Jetfires voice box take up only to tell me in a terrible accent that his name is Jetfire!?! Like, no shit, I know your name, I bought you. Some leaders/ultra also lack in detail for such a large figure and some times not worth the inflated CDN price.

Supreme: Space is becoming an issue and these toys are starting to not be worth the coin. Plus the gimmicks usually hinder the toy more than it helps it. For example Animated Prime and Movie BB. Both neat looking toys that 'do' a lot, but just not style.

I am glad to see other size classes like the Animated Activators and the new HA alliance scale figures too...

This!

Same for me...for some reason, Legends are uber-desirable, especially if there's a Dlx, Voyager or Leader of the same.

I love how little space they consume, and how they're easy to carry around.

Activators (Scout-class, basically?) have the same play value...really surprised they didn't carry over to ROTF...hope to see these return to the next line.
