I know this is a rough comparison but you get the general idea. $110 for 3rd party voyager sized figs is pretty good. Arcee was the same price and she is a Deluxe sized figure.

is it safe to say he in good proportion to Classics/Henkei Optimus?

Umm did you not see my post? It was only at the bottom of the last page.

I know. I really really want a better Ironhide then what we got from Hasbro, but two factors are keeping watching on the sidelines for the moment. Price and size. I'm just really focusing on Classics/Generations, and with Ironhide being as big if not slightly bigger then the Classics Vger Prime, it would look a little weird.

But when Impactor comes out, That's the scale I do want him in. I hope that they make him THAT size.

With Ironhide and Ratchet being two obvious omissions from those lines I figure that if I decide to pony up for these (and I am sorely tempted) that's where they'll be going.

I'm afraid that the vehicle mode of a van, will be considerably smaller the any of the Alternators (maybe windcharger/arcee). But from the height comparisons, I'm gonna say close to an inch shorter than Skids.... I have a different theory: Igear has created their OWN SCALE. 3 Seekers, a Prime, Ironhide and Racthet, and we are only half way through the year!

Yes, when you take the accessory packages into account along with figure size, the prices don't seem too bad (although I still think they're too high and iGear's just trying to see how far they can push us). But they share a lot of the same stuff. If you're interested in just one figure that's great. If you want to get both, you're forking over a lot of cash for duplicate parts, even if they're color-coded for each figure. Why does not-Ratchet - you know, the "medical" specialist - need a combat knife? Or a tripod-mounted sniper rifle?

I want one "Mystery Machine" colored. I wonder what accessories would come with that one.
