Leave it to TakaraTomy to have Transformers and Microman crossbreed again :lol: Would those figures be in scale with 1:32 though?
No way.

They'd have to be like the size of MP Spike to fit inside the toys' Vehicle modes. ;)

Speaking of Microman... I wonder if they have ever considered doing pre-Transformers reissues. Diaclone is currently 30 and Microman will turn 40 in a couple of years. Plus, we have less than 3 years (for Japan) until they celebrate 30 years of Transformers there.

And yes - Atop of a few Transformers that I'd like to see be placed in the Encore line... I would love to see the Diaclone line get some love, even if they become Toy Hobby or e-HOBBY exclusives. My collection needs some of that kind of lovin'. :lol:

But with this... Lets just say that I am glad I did not preorder. Just not feeling anything when it comes to the final product. >:oP

Starsaber would've been perfect if he was in Convoy's alt colors, and vice versa. But that's just my opinion.

True dat. Although he could use a bit more white on the chest, maybe.

So OP's "Lady" was inspired by an actual race queen?

Yup. Misaki Takahashi, to be specific.

Thanks for the info!

My Japanese is pretty rudimentary especially when it comes to Kanji, so I could only make out the characters Taka(something) Mi(something). :lol:

I think she actually looks prettier than the figure. Or maybe it's just the lack of ball joints? :P

I think it's just the manufacturers managed to hide the articulation points better on humans, and to be fair, they are a much larger scale.

soooo tempting, but as I can only afford one, I'll pick the character I don't have many versions of already
