Turns out we haven't been receiving your emails from your Yahoo account. You can blame that on some very strict DMARC rules that Yahoo and AOL started implementing in the past month that apparently has been causing all sorts of problems similar to this with emails.

Thank you for looking into this, Ryan. I was starting to wonder if either there was a technical issue behind this, or if some person(s) was/were seeing the same news as me and just lightning fast on the news reporting.Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Hey!

Here's a look at the TRANSFORMERS CLUB EXCLUSIVE Transmutate figure! The figure comes in a special display box with a place for the tech spec card. In addition, there is a hidden alcove in the foam made to hold the FREE TCC membership figure RAMPAGE! You can combine TRANSMUTE with your free RAMPAGE (to be mailed in the near future) and make a two figure boxed set which lines up with the current Club magazine comic!

I just noticed that as well. What the heck happened to his head? That's not the same head and neck as this image ...

I haven't been paying that close of attention because I was pretty satisfied with how it looked last year. I can't believe it's going to turn into another example of shrunken head syndrome. Urgh!

This time, the reason the head is that small is because of those side horns Rampage's head has. The head had to be small enough to fit inside the hole that Prime Megatron's head fits into in the vehicle mode. Since Megatron's head had no side horns, it could fit in whille still being a full sized Deluxe head. But since Rampage's head has those horns sticking out from both sides, the main head that the horns stick out of had to be reduced in order to let the whole thing fit into that hole.Seibertron wrote:SW's SilverHammer wrote:That head keeps looking smaller...

I personally would not have minded if they had just done away with the head's side horns altogether if it meant letting the head itself stay its normal size. After all, the original Protoform X lacked those horns prior to his becoming BW Rampage. However, since many see those side horns as an iconic aspect of Rampage's head, many others disagree with this idea and want the horns included as they are here. Thus, we get a complete head that's scale down to fit all of it into the hole.

Pete Sinclair has chimed in elsewhere to reassure us that the head does look acceptable:durroth wrote:I think they could have fixed it by molding them backswept along the sides of the head. It would allow the head to be bigger, if not perfectly megs head size, and pretty close to the illustrations in the comic.
Pete@BotCon wrote:Well... Here's the kicker. Due to the design, the head DOES look smaller. If his head extended all the way out, to where the horns on each side reach, then you wouldn't even notice. As it is, the horns really mess with the perspective, and while it is not the most in scale head we have done, it definitely looks fine on my shelf. Does that make sense?
Let me put it this way. I never even opened my P/CP. Rampage sits on my shelf with all the other exclusives in robot mode. So, there ya go...

Have you seen the Prime First Edition Arcee figure? She's roughly tall for a Deluxe. Taller than all other FE Deluxes minus Starscream (and maybe Vehicon, haven't sized her up to that one yet).President-prime wrote:figure is extremely small.

No smaller than the average Generations Deluxe figure (since that is the line that the FE molds were originally designed for).President-prime wrote:That's why I forego most Prime deluxe figures. Just preference. But they are pretty small, nonetheless.
To be fair, the original Transmutate design wasn't exactly awash with color beyond teal and silvery beige.President-prime wrote:I just think a figure at that price should stand out a little more with the coloring. I guess a few stickers should do the trick.
