True, and I should have mentioned that...but he was never a data clerk (well, that we saw amyway) in IDW.

Unless this is some new type of rubber that will last.

Or it's the same rubber as usual and it will rot only if you live in the wrong parts of the world.
Over here, I must be blessed because non of my rubber tires or threads ever split or rot. Even the G1 and original RiD ones.

I think if Brawn was the same size as this new Beachcomber then he would be accurate. He was a minibot, but his alt mode was an off-road vehicle which should be larger than a VW and a dune buggy.Till-all-R1 wrote:This also puts Brawn into wait and see land, because if he too is same height as Beachcomber then it's another pass.
Well I think all the minibots will get the treatment, though i do think they shouldn't all be uniform size. Of the ones we got so far, Warpath, Huffer (and Pipes) as well as apparently Beachcomber will be on the larger size, while so far Cosmos, Bee and Cliffjumper were short. So that leaves Seaspray, Gears, Windcharger and Powerglide. Of those, I think only Powerglide and maybe Seaspray should be taller than the others, because even though he's counted as a minibot, a plane is still bigger than a car.As I mentioned before these new version are going to force a redo of every single minibot to rescale them.

For the previous 2 core waves it seems like Target stores didn't even get full cases, but broke them open at the distribution center and literally sent maybe 2 individual core class toys to each store one time, and that was it. I haven't seen a full peg of Legacy core at any Target this year.

It's actually the Paradise Parakeet from The Golden Lagoon.

I think Bee (both Netflix and Buzzworthy) are the correct size in relation to the other figures.
I mean, one would expect a Ferrari to be bigger than a Jeep, but...Till-all-R1 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:I think if Brawn was the same size as this new Beachcomber then he would be accurate.

Agreed on Powerglide, IMO he is the one that needs DLX update the most since as you say a plane is usually bigger than a car, as would likely a UFO. I was happy to see Warpath redone because a tank also is bigger than cars, which is an aspect I still can't get around him being a minibot. So I think that's where height doesn't always correlate with vehicle size, alt mode could be a tank and be large compared to other character's alt mods. Yet when he transforms he short and stocky not much taller than Bee. Which I think they nailed the height difference between the new Warpath and BB.
Even Seaspray might benefit from a DLX upgrade, but if they wind up being only a head shorter than actual DLX Bots that aren't minibots it throws them out of scale to me. Most of them only came up to the chest area on the regular cars such as Jazz, Sideswipe etc. but the new Warpath stands almost just as high as Wheeljack coming up to his chin. Cosmos comes to about the top of their chest when he should probably be a tad shorter. And now Beachcomber seems to be the same height as Warpath, "a tank mind you" which would put him almost as tall as Wheeljack too.
So being significantly taller than Bee isn't as a big a problem as being too tall next to the next taller bots, which I guess resizing the minibots would force the need to resize those DLX figures. lol Sure, maybe it doesn't bother non anal/OCD people or collectors how have massive pace to spread them out and make it less noticeable. For me who has a limited space for them it means these new minibots are so tall that they now hide most of the actual DLX Bots so that all I see are their heads.

It's possible, I guess. Although that hadn't been an issue in the past. Kingdom and Legacy year 1 cores, and SS core existed side-by-side with no issue.
