That should not work that well.

I would love to see the Legends/Core Insecticons reissued in the clone colors; I have the Deluxe Insecticon versions of the Legacy Insecticons, but the Insecticon trio only in G1 reissue and Legends/Core class size, which I feel works better for the group.

Same, though I would probably buy a 3-pack of the the Legacy Bug Bros. in (Dia)Clone colors even if they were too big. I didn't feel the need to replace my Legends/Core Insecticons, but as new characters I would be tempted to pick them up to have the new molds.

I'm kind of the opposite (so, with Haywire), if only because I already went and got the Deluxes.

I'd be fine with the Legacy Deluxe class molds for the original 3 and the Deluxe Insecticons (now with 100% more Venin). Then do a box set of the older Legends/whatever molds in the Diaclone colors. Just for cost and space reasons (and there's some charm to those smaller molds that I feel is kind of missing from these somewhat bland boxy takes). Although, knowing my love for these nth-string redecos, I'd probably get them if they used the Legacy molds (as is more likely) anyway.

It feels like something Kmart or Sam's Club could have done.

Love this. He wants the Minty-Cons!

Other than a Gigacon-toy based Galvatron, I'd love to see one of the Lucky Draw/exclusive color schemes on this. The TV Magazine "Black Megatron" from the Armada mold is mostly charcoal and olive drab, so not really evoking much difference from regular Armada Megs (unless we expand how many things are that neon green).

But the Super Link Megs has some good options: the TV Magazine "Galvatron Black Version" has a great black and red and orange color scheme that would go well on anyone. There's also the cancelled US redeco, which is a neat gray/neon green.

Hell, I'd love to see either of these on the Core class. But then I doubt they'll touch that shelfwarming little guy again.
