agreed. but a poor comparison seeing as their lightspeed is arguably the weakest of MT's technobots.

It's so sad but bears repeating:

If Warbotron's figures were somewhere between large deluxe and small voyager, I would be ALL over them.

Eh, I dunno. If they actually turned into "real" vehicles then I'd agree (unlike Drift, I do not expect giant cars). But seeing as they all turn into Cybertronian/futuristic vehicles that at best vaguely resemble the rough shape of some "real" vehicles (although TBH Afterburner looks more like a Tron Lightcycle than anything else) I kinda don't mind.

That said, I'm still probably shooting for Quantron, as I prefer the designs and the less steep price, but I really don't mind the scale. Same with Abominus and the various Predakings; they don't need to actually scale with any "real" Earth vehicles, so beyond personal preference there's really no hard and fast rule for the scaling. With TFC's Defensor, I actually think they got the scale right- Airport fire engines are slaggin' huge, and a Transformer who turned into one would also be huge. (The lack of foot integration still bugs the hell out of me though...)

In any case, this looks pretty good, but I think I'll go with Quantron.

Great review Gema .

This kicks the **** out of MT Afterburner imo its just nice and simple compared to MT overly detailed figure , same can be said for MT Nosecone ,i'm thinking that will be Warbotrons next release and cant wait to how he turns out .

Off record, really2 agree with you :grin:

I found that most of the time, MT and FP went with a more complex look, too complex that they went too far off from the Neo-G1 concept. my 2 cents

Hmm, looks good. Myself I'm thinking of going for MakeToys Quantron (as he'll be smaller and I prefer the look) but this guy is cool. I wonder if he's MP scale?

well, Afterburner is roughly the size of MP cars and their Not-Scattershot will be around MP10 size so maybe they are MP scale?
