I am horribly disappointed that Rodimus is getting a legends release rather than a new deluxe mould.
But sadly he will be in a box with Skywarp so I will end up getting it.
A new legend Rodimus, particularly one that's only a repaint, doesn't completely rule out a bigger size toy. Look at the other "legendary" characters in this line: Optimus Prime got a new Voyager toy, Megatron got a new Leader toy, Thundercracker got a new (remold) Leader toy.
I'd see Rodimus on par with Prime, Megatron and the seekers as continuing on the original intent on the Legend class, while others like Tailgate, Swerve, Powerglide and the Insecticons gives us classics versions of the smaller toys.
I think this Rodimus, like Prime, will go well with Metroplex.
The Runabout and Runamuck actually look pretty nice. I'd most likely buy those, even though I'd prefer deluxes.
