Yes he’s a scout/legends class figure. The rationale is the same as when the original Cybertron Legends class was introduced - entry level versions of the main characters. (How this is different to Authentics and Cyberverse?!) In terms of scale further info was provided about the mini Rattrap.

The new boxes look great but was purposes of inspecting the figure for QC issues becomes harder. Does he have two fists? Is the gun there. Does he have a right leg? Wait until you open!
