Looking at the toys, we are not exactly getting them in scale to the movie, a prime example is Brawl. Tank same size as a car, riiiight. Blackout not a Leaderclass with Brawl, riiiiight. The Autobots seem to be in scale, but not the decepticons. I Believe the following is what the toys should be:

Autobots:
Prime: Leader
Bumble: Deluxe
Jazz: Deluxe
Ironhide: Voyager
Ratchet: Voyager

Decepticons:
Barricade: Deluxe
Starscream: Ultra(Hasbro seemed to forget about this price point as far as I know >_>)
Brawl: Leader or Ultra(A tank, it's a TANK, those are huge compared to a CAR)
Blackout: Leader(also damn huge)
Bonecrusher: Voyager(Does it even have a toy?)
Megatron: Leader

I am quite aware 3-4 leaders is pushing it, but some are way off in scale, especialy Brawl and Blackout.

Anyone else thing they should be to scale?

They do have a Leader class Brawl scheduled, but Bonecrusher is apparently Deluxe only. Surprising considering how heavily he's featured in the ads.

Besides, the toys are rarely ever in scale with one another anyway. Combiner teams to Autobot cars, etc.

Leo I know exactly what you mean, but the movie supposedly is about realistic representation. As the toys are also representations of said characters, they should also be in scale.

Atleast rectifying one mistake, at least as I see it, with Brawl is a good thing. ^_^

You do remember that the main target for this line is still kids, right?

Kids who don't give half a crap about scale and have incredibly limited budgets, and therefore can't afford 4-6 $40 toys?

Kthx.

We going on the sarcasm train? cool, love it.

You know when it's movie toys to anything they release a half doz versions of each character, the least that they can do is release to scale, the the rest of the affordable prices, FAB and other crap.
