    Yep, that human is holding Megatron. Although in the cartoon Megatron only mass-shifted down to the size of a gun that Transformers could hold, in the comics he could mass-shift down to the size of a real Walther P-38 UNCLE that a human could hold.

    I agree. I think the cassettes would be ideal for Legends, but for other figures I'd like to see Scouts.

    I'd like to see the Insecticons somewhere in the Universe line (outside of Robot Heroes), and considering that they're insects, Legends-class versions would make them roughly in-scale to the creatures they turn into.

    I think Soundwave's minions would be a bit boring on their own, since there isn't a larger Soundwave toy in the Universe line that they could fit into.

    Sharkticons would be interesting to see as Legends.

    EDIT: Another thought:

    I think that the Decepticons who had simple toys in G1 would work the best as Legends because there would be no need to try and be complicated to represent characters who had huge toys and character designs too complex for Legends toys to successfully pull off.

    Cool Topic.

    I'm liking the legends class atm. My only gripe is no elbow joint. Even a simple 90 degree pin would be good. Just for a little more poseability.

    Many of my favouite characters from the bad guys have been done or will never be done. I'd love to see the individual stunticons, constructicons or combaticons. I won't hold my breath waiting. They don't have to combine. I like the Runamuck Runabout idea.

    Maybe G2 Megatron repaint as Shockwave with a modified head
    MEGATRON Without PRIME is like Bacon without Eggs.

    I love the Legends!! And the fact that they are very 'simple' reminds me of their G1 Minibot counterparts - which I like!

    I think there needs to be some new Decepticons too... Scout-sized Insecticons/Reflector/Constructicons is the perfect size. Legends-sized cassettes (or maybe update them and have them turn in to CD/MP3 players or something). And I'd like to see a Voyager-sized Shockwave (that turns in to a futuristic gun or cannon).

    If the Autobots own the Legends class, make the Decepticons own the Scout class!
