For that matter, what are they going to do for the other mini vehicles when their times finally come for the Masterpiece line? Will Huffer be a weirdly small truck? Powerglide a tiny plane? Warpath a miniature tank?

I would imagine that TT would do what they have been doing since mp 10 and forgo alt-mode scale to have the bot modes scale...

Such that the mini-bots ever did...

Maybe should have put Wheelie with Bee. 2 pint sized masterpieces that make up a nice set

Yeah, but wasn't he really small? His most famous scene was sitting on one of the dinobots' snouts... Would the engineering at that level even allow for a mp wheelie?

Wheelie is approximately the size of a human IIRC.

Yeha, so, the daniel exo-suit thing worked well (outside of the face ), but wheelie is slighter than the exo-suit, so I would be a little worried about fragility in the joints and such.

Huffer was wearing his "fat jeans" that day. Don't get on his case, yesterday was a cheat day!

To be fair, though, most of the Masterpiece human figures so far are "but-her-face" contenders.

Concerning the human partners released in the MP line, Spike, Adult Spike and Daniel and the Exosuit. And the statement about their faces. I miss the days of the old Diaclone line where despite the technology back then, the diecast head of the pilots were quite detailed compared to the former. Paints and all. maybe we are expecting too much but you'll know what I mean if you have in hand the D pilots and compare them with the MP figures.

Maybe the fans aren't really paying attention that TT just considers them accessories that has a certain expenditure limit that they will invest hence, not detailed.

Too big for the chart, methinks.

That is a lovely scale guide, Sabr. I assume it's made from Sunbow's official control drawings and character art? Too bad it's far from complete. Where's Cliffjumper, the '85 Minibots, and the Scramble City combiner teams, for instance?

The scale is a bit funky too in some respects. Red Alert and Smokescreen look quite a bit taller and bulkier than their '84 mold-sakes.

How in the world are they going to make a scale wreckgar?

Make him slightly taller than Ironhide and Ratchet/slighter shorter than the MP-10 sized MPs?

Folks don't forget there's a MP Jazz to be had at some point. It's funny but watch TF:TM I thought Ratchet dual wielded laser rifles, guess I was wrong. The repair tools are something Wheeljack should've come with.

He did.
