Lucky Draw Microns and I'll flip.

Way too small. No MP figure should be that small. If he's just the right size then Rodimus is wildly out of scale. Sideswipe should be about chest level with Prime.

Of course Rodimus is way out of scale. And Grimlock. And Megatron. The decision to make the robot modes of MPs in-scale with each other came after they made MP Hot Rod.

So what exactly are you trying to say. Rodimus isn't radically out of scale? A MP Sideswipe SHOULD be as small as a voyager? You can't possibly tell me that's an acceptable size for the money and believe it. If that's the case, we already got Alternators/BT Sideswipe to fill that gap. I don't need Sideswipe to fit in the GD trailer that I'm storing in the first place. What I need in such a figure is a nicely sized representation of him that boils down all the essentials into one good toy. Also, bear in mind how often that official scale guide is rendered moot in the show.

Alt/BT Sideswipe isn't G1 accurate. And if you're THAT concerned about the price tag, wait till MP-12's domestic release for like $35-40.

I don't get how you think that just because the cartoon had so many inaccuracies, the toys should too. Wouldn't it be great if there could at least be some effort to correct the animation errors through some way, even if we're never allowed to remake the G1 cartoon?

scaling Sideswipe's car mode to fit the Prime trailer surely makes a mockery of the "scaling robot modes" idea, non?

I'm pretty sure that Sideswipe's car mode just happened to be the right scale for it, rather than them trying to scale both modes just right.

Thanks JelZe, Steve is the Vehicon.
A boar you say, hm?

[Doubledealer93]

that breakdown is perfect.

[Twitchythe3rd]

Breakdown and Steve the Vehicon are both wanted.

Someone find me a Bumblebee. We need to sacrifice it to the Toy Release Gods. Surely that will appease them.

You know what? I give up trying to discern who MP-13 is. I'm just going to say this; MP-13 is MP-13. There we go! Now I won't have a headache trying to look at the stupid silhouette.

As orangeitis said, the decision to make the MPs in scale with each otehr came after the MP Rodimus Convoy toy was made. Though, As Rodicmus Convoy, the toy IS in scale since both Convoy and Rodimus Convoy were the same height. It's only as Hot Rodimus that he's out of scale.

A MP Sideswipe SHOULD be as small as a voyager?

It is when they're trying for show-accurate sizes.

You can't possibly tell me that's an acceptable size for the money and believe it.

The size is fine. It's the price that's outrageous.

If that's the case, we already got Alternators/BT Sideswipe to fill that gap.

He's not G1-accurate, nor does he fit in the Masterpiece toyline.

I don't need Sideswipe to fit in the GD trailer that I'm storing in the first place. What I need in such a figure is a nicely sized representation of him that boils down all the essentials into one good toy.

If you don't want it, don't buy it.

Also, bear in mind how often that official scale guide is rendered moot in the show.

Where is the Scale Guide from, Sabrblade?

The Ark book.

[LiKwid]

Need me some AM Breakdown and some Steves to go with it... I wonder if breakdown will have his Robo eye patch?

[Flux Convoy]

Sabrblade, you and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on what we feel this release should be.

[orangeitis]

Holy derp, Brawn's head plate is sliding off his shoulders!

It's funny how some mistransformations could actually be considered show-accurate. If/when we get an MP Brawn, he should be able to do that.
