The Energon Pub

the first masterpiece i bought was skywarp before i got into colecting, and i didn't even know he was a masterpiece i just thought he was cool. but now that i actually know what they are and have recently purchased a rodimus figure i was wondering if anybody could explain to me or show me where to find info on the scale of these things? for instance my rodimus is taller than skywarp, is that cartoon acurate? also is rodimus in scale with grimlock and where in the heck does the new prime figure fit in?

The only to know if its cartoon-accurate is to watch the 80's catoon! I think hot rod and skywarp only ever appeared together in the 86 movie... along with prime and grimlock, so you might want to watch that.

First, you'll have to accept that scale don't mean jack-shit in the Transformers Universe. Most bots become mass-shift to be smaller so they are about the same size with each others. Then become huge-ass juggernauts in vehicle mode. Like Astrotrain is the same size as his ten friends, but he change into his spaceship mode and EVERYONES climb aboard!

Some become very small and light when in their altmodes. Like classic Megatron and Soundvave.

As for MP Seeker or even Movie Leader Starscream, only a DELUXE Optimus Prime or Rodimus would be in scale with them. Reasticly. In vehicle they would be in scale, but you'll see how HUGE the planes would be in robot mode.

And don't get me started on the planet-formers.
