I don't quite follow you, unless you're just making a very exagerated effort in pointing out my slight accidental misspelling of the name? Which doesn't seem very constructive, so I'd like to think there was some other point that I am missing...

When Devastator is not himself, then scale matters. :grin:

Sorry... Still not quite getting what it is you are trying to say.

So I was taking photos of Masterpiece Optimus Prime (the MP-01/04 mold) for a review I'm working on when, in a complete disreguard for scale, Optimus decided to show that there were no hard feelings for the last photo I shared where Devastator was trying to rip him apart.

See? Now they're friends! :lol:

Huzzah! My Giant finally arrived yesterday. Very pleased with how well the whole combiner holds together. My one issue is with the way that the cabin half of hook gets pulled apart slightly by the weight of right arm. A minor gripe really. Overall I am very pleased!

Oooh, THS-02 does scale very nicely with him. I suspected he would, and would have used him myself in the earlier photo I shared, except then (a) Optimus wouldn't have scaled well with Jazz and Trailbreaker, and (b) my THS-02 is currently in truck mode, and I really didn't feel like transforming him. :P I may have to when I get around to writing my review of Giant... Of course, I do have a review of THS-02 planned before I get aroud to Giant, so the thought occurs to me that I can just leave him in bot-mode after I photograph him for that. Excellent!

In the meantime, here is Giant menasing a cheesecake my girlfriend baked yesterday.

Why? Because it should taste devastatingly good! :grin:

I'm not on Term Giant as well. He's definately one awosme Non-Transformer! I don't think he's perfect, but he's damn close. He's going to sit on my desk for a while.
Wanted:
City Commander's head (KO or original)
Henkei Hot Rod's bio card
Universe Ironhide / Ratchet's gun/blade attachment

Pretty much all of the photos people have been posting since getting this guy (myself included) have been of the combined mode. Well, I was finally curious to see how these guys looked, as seperate guys, with some of the other Classics 'Cons I had. Since before my Giant had arrived, I'd had many of my other guys in their alt mode... so I finally transformed some of them into robot mode so they could all pose together. And I thought I'd share the resulting photo with y'all.

Shockingly... I'm slightly disappointed with the individual bots. They look great and all, but they're just a LOT bigger than what I was actually hoping for... they all just tower over every deluxe in my collection. I can't imagine if I had bought Herc. Haven't seen anyone else complain about their size, so maybe I'm the only one who sees this as an issue... it's a minor nitpick though & overall I'm beyond pleased with the set.
