Just got this little realgears guy, and really like him.

It just seems to me they should have gone a lot larger. Not just to have a more realistic videogame controller mode, but to have a bot in scale with the rest of the realgears.

He's the runt of the bunch! LC

That is a disappointment.
He was the real gear I was looking forward to most.
Just how small is he? Can you post a pic of him next to a PS2 controller, or next to some of the other real gears?

He isnt to scale with any videogame pad. I think he was kept small to keep him at the real gear/scout pricepoint.

Some of the other real gears have seemed a little undersized for what they are imatating as well but High Score is the most obvious.

He is still awesome though, regardless of scale.

I thought longview was a little small for binoculars as well.

I bet it goes perfect with Unicron or Fort Max.

But yeah, he is a bit small. Doesn't stop him from being my favorite real Gear, though. And he is modeled after a real controller.

Yeah, he is pretty small. I just got him over the weekend and was surprised at how short is was. I still like him though even if he is about half the size of Meantime.

I thought High Score looked to be only a tithe smaller than the mini PS2 controllers you can buy.

No matter, I'll still try and fool my friends with him, just like I did with Speed Dial and Spyshot. :grin:
