I think: Optimal Optimus as commander class, TM Megatron, Rampage, Depthcharge and Dinobot 2 as leader class, TM Rattrap, Cheetor and TM2 Blackarachnia as deluxes, TM Tarantulas and TM2 Cheetor as voyager would be to scale.
Generally agree. I could probably live with Dinobot 2 being a voyager. Depthcharge will lose the huge trigger mechanism on his back, probably the disc launching gimmick, and would probably work pretty well as a leader. But Rampage, at leader would lose all of the gimmicks that made it interesting, and if he had tank treads they would probably molded somehow. I think at a commander price they could keep some of the gimmicks, and he can stay leader height to match with Depthcharge. He also has a lot of moving parts in the legs to take up a lot of price budget. Could they end up as another Haslab 2 pack? I hope not.

I'm wondering if it isn't the third modes holding back the transmetals, as someone mentioned earlier, and not the chrome/metallic paint debate, that is holding back these toys at this point.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

A haslab depthcharge/rampage would be my first haslab purchase. I would go into hock for that one.

That would be a great set, but I don't think that needs to be a HasLab. Assuming AotP budgets remain, I think both could be kickass Leaders.

He was also terrible.

I still swear my local TRU still had one floating around right until the day they closed. The building's a market now, but I half expect to see Cheetor on top of a shelf somewhere every time I go in.

He's the Phantom of the Market. He wears a half-mask and plays the organ in the basement at night.

I think Air Attack Primal stood at about Star Convoy's height.
He actually stands roughly eye to eye with Cybertron Primus, just a couple inches taller than Star Convoy.

Their Deathsaurus is my Deathsaurus. One of these days, I will assemble Eaglebreaat and Tigerbreast for him. Just gotta figure out how to keep his head from falling off...
