The biggest problem with TFCs set is razorclaw. He is too big and out of scale with the others and has an ugly voltron looking head sculpt. Also not fond of the aesthetic of the beast modes...very cybertronish from unicron trilogy.

False. He's that big because TFC was lazy. MMC Leo Dux is larger than the rest, but the team looks, well... like a team! TFC's figures look comically out of place together because Nemean is twice as tall as any of the limb bots. Look everyone, it's Nemean and the Preda-kids!

Yea, X clearly did not mean animal scale - it's called contextual reading. Straw man, anybody?

Actually, a nice scale would be an internal scale, as in, having the figures scale to one other in ANY MODE. You cannot honestly argue that TFC does not fail at this. MMC's did a great job of engineering these guys so that they are at least in scale with one another - if you can't do that, why even make an attempt?

So where do I put the bread?

Problem is, these aren't Beast Wars figures - why would anyone want G1 homages designed to resemble Rhinox & Cheetor? Besides, this is clearly a matter of aesthetic tastes. I think of MMC's Feral Cons as a vicious team of robots who were inspired by some of the most powerful and dangerous organic life forms on earth, and adopted those likenesses as their robotic alt modes. That's my choice, so leave it alone.

That's one of at lease a dozen things, IMO.

I'm really not sure who you think you are, but this is hands down one of the most trollingly obnoxious things I have ever seen on these boards. And I've seen some things.
