A aircraft carrier that could hold all the classic seekers.

I just dawned on me I don't know if you could even get it anymore but it does fit the bill granted it isn't a transformer but heck it is certainly big enuff. The gijoe aircraft carrier uss flagg. It just a thought my friend brought it up the other night.

I don't have one (nor would I ever have the room!), but it would be the biggest toy aircraft carrier I can think of. Not sure if the seekers would fit into scale with it.

Yeah they might not be in scale but you would be able to land all the classice seekers on the deck and they would look pretty sweet since it was designed to hold orignal gijoe plane the one that Ace flew don't remember what it was called. The other thing my friend thought would be cool after seeing jin's custom paint jobs is to repaint it in either autobot or decepticon colors and then if repealable labels does custom stickers get autobot or decepticon symbol big enuff to fit on the deck so it looks good.

Yea the U.S.S. Flagg is pretty ginormous.

It's suppose to be like one of the biggest toys ever. There was a nice thread about it before the board wipe.

Yes, indeedy the U.S.S. Flagg is big enough to carry all 6 (possibly 8) Decepticon Planes.
While I don't have all the pieces of the hull, I have most (if not all) of the flight deck. If it can support 1 or 2 Night Ravens (it, the Rattler and Tiger Rat being the only *big* planes I had at the time), then G1 Starscream and 5 buddies will pale in comparison.

For an 99.9% complete uss flag on ebay $325 plus $100 shipping and handling dang but guess if you collect things like that it wouldn't be to bad. Although it look pretty amazing from the commucial.

Actually, it is the biggest toy ever made unless you count out door swingsets or a sand box. It was seven feet in length. That's absolutely huge. They have never produced a toy that large before or since. Not even doll houses get that big.

I wonder how you'd transform a 7 feet Transfomer toy. Maybe it should be mechanized.

I have the flagg displaying my Joes. Classic seekers would be about right as far as scale goes on a real carrier, but since the joe one is a bit off to accomodate thier planes they would look odd. MP starscream looks nice on it though!

If I had a USS Flagg, I would fix it so that it really floated and then it would become a permenent fixture in my pool (the pool that I don't have because I live in the north... :-x ).

I was looking at one to put my 1/60 Yamato Veritech on. It would fit six or seven of those easy. That means, it would fit all six Seekers(including Coneheads) and the Classics line, and the Ariealbots, and Sixwing, and any other random jet, with room left over.

Kinda puts things back into perspective when you realize Broadside changed from an Aircraft Carrier into a an Aircraft that could land on one. Ah mass shifting...

The classics would look good, and be pretty close in Scale... but I think the Masterpiece figures would look even better displayed on it.

I disagree, the Classics are definately a better fit because they are closer in scale.

Big enough to carry six Classics seekers?? According to the commercial, that thing is big enough to accommodate a handful of noisy children! :P

Very true, which means it can carry many more than just six Seekers. A real Aircraft carrier can carry multiple squadrons of aircraft. That's a lot of planes.
