I dunno, when you think about the size of actual construction machines as compared to cars and other such vehicles, I think it's kind of appropriate.
Then again, if combiners operated on real-world scale, Menasor would be (relative to the other combiners) tiny and Bruticus would be horribly lopsided. So I guess it kind of works out.

The gist, for those who appreciate it:
Reviewer says the design quality is superb although the plastic feels "a bit on the cheap side" (which I disagree with).
Figure is sturdy and the transformation is rather simple yet satisfying. Tight joints except the waist is a bit loose. The figure works in all three modes and while this figure seems like you don't get a lot for the money, he might sing a different tune when he has them all assembled.
Personally, the short of it for this figure is that it is satisfying classics scavenger in both quality, color, size and scale.
If money is no object, go for it. For those on the fence, yes the figure is worth it. For those already opposed to the figure due to the price, well there is nothing new to change your mind.
I'm not disappointed. I like the chunky sturdyness of the figure and rather simple (yet effective) transformation. I'm looking forward to the other figures because this will be my classics Devastator.

Well I was thinking more about scale in robot mode, not vechicles. Or to be more specific G1 robot mode scale. Remember in the episode "Starscream's Brigade" ehere Bruticus kicked Devastator's a** ??? Im not really liking the scale compared to the fansproject sets. I may have to display them far apart...

Seven? Does he know something I don't?
For the amount of money asked for this figure, it should really be perfect. In my opinion it nearly is. It's definately a lot better than I think everyone was expecting. The only other TFClub figures I own are Hot Flame and Screamer, and I was worried the plastic was going to be the same as those figures. Not the case. Vastly superior plastic used on this thing.
Another big worry for me was the colours seen in promotional photos. The green looked alright, but the purple looked more Cybertron blue. In reality, it is most definately purple.
What I really don't like is the torturous eight month wait to complete the set.
