yeah.. but magnus is supposed to be large.

plus this is going off of IDW scale. a voyager magnus would be out of scale with voyager springer and even voyager prime. magnus is a truck with a trailer after all.

with all that being said, the upcoming magnus looks gorgeous. much better than city commander even. the only complaint i have about the new magnus are the inaccurate colored thighs and crotch. otherwise, it looks like a solid figure.

leader megatron works in two ways.. one, he's a huge tank and it's the closest robot mode accurate megatron that they've made in a long long time.

also.. it's a decent placeholder for a potential masterpiece megatron. leader megatron scales well with MP10.

oh.. and i REALLY hate the jetfire mold. so, i don't own him.. but you're right, if you're trying to put together a G1 shelf, a leader magnus might be just a little bit too big.. but again, he's always been big.
