Can't wait to try his 46-step transformation. Can't care less about the size, as long as the toy is fun.

Re: Shame on you, Hasbro!

I can picture the follow conversations between Takara and Hasbro

Takara designers: We finally get to do a leader class Blackout. Let's make it scale with the old leaders figures from Revenge. That leader Prime is the best thing to come out the movie line!

Hasbro bean counters: No! We are launching the Studio Series. You should make it scale with new Megatron and Starscream. People will buy all the new figures!

Takara Designers: Yes but EVERYONE wants it to scale with the old leader class. The fans will love it and pay big bucks for a big figures to fit their collections.

Hasbro bean counters: Well they can collect all the new series. We are here to sell toys and make money. We want people to keep buying all new things, not just one thing to add to their old junks! Besides we save material cost if make it smaller and we can make more profit since we will sell it for more!! $$$$

Takara Designers: K whatever...you are the salesman. When this is done we are going back to do our Masterpiece.

Hasbro bean counters at toy shows: People are all raving about this blackout. We're gonna make a lot of money!!! $$$$$

People found out about the size of this hotly anticipated Blackout.

Hasbro bean counters: Why is this not selling!?!?!?!???

Takara Designers: Ya...we just do toys. You are the businessman. BTW did you see how much people are willing to pay for the new MP? But you are not interested in that any way.

The problem with that skit is that Hasbro is actually a very profitable company, so someone clearly knows what they're doing over there.

Oh, you have this toy already? What are his quality issues?

Re: Shame on you, Hasbro!

That’s too bad but he should scale perfectly with the new Voyager Prime for an epic battle.

I wish they’d have done Grindor instead then.
