The fact that shuttle blast off was wanted so much it is was finally released over 2 years after the demand started, and selling well, means nobody gives a **** about vehicle mode scale.

Well, I would say it depends on the series. Like, G1 didn't give much of a crap about it in the toys though slightly more in the cartoon in some areas(Bumping the combiner limbs up to being the same siza as an average Autobot car instead of being comparatively midgets) but not others. So within the context of G1 and neo-G1 toys, people only care about the vehicle scale as far as it was set by the toys and fiction.
The movieverse on the other hand has cared about vehicle mode scale aggressively. That's why Optimus is a long-nose truck. That's why Starscream is both bow-legged and digitigrade. That's why Grindor's so tall. That's why Devastator is made from 9 Constructicons some of which are particularly huge.

Isn't that just on screen though? I don't blame hasbro sticking to robot mode scale only (though I'm not convinced that devastator will be in scale at all...) as that seems far easier to do and fir into their pricing structures.

That Bonecrusher is kind of depressing. He's out of scale (should be roughly the same height as Brawl, and he's clearly shorter here) and he has no accessories, so you're just getting an undersized voyager and nothing else. Really bums me out, as he's the one I was most looking forward to. With the mass shrinkage of movie transformers, I'm not sure he's going to be much taller than the deluxe.

As long as he's in scale with studio series Prime then I'm happy. He always seemed to be more squat anyhow.

Which scene did they share together?

Optimus is a long nose truck instead of his traditional cabover style truck because it allowed them to make a bigger bot that could tower over the Autobots and stand up to the Decepticons better. It wasn't because they actually wanted a bigger truck.

DMSL wrote:The sculpts are great, but the studio series scale is WAAAAY off. No way is it okay that an SUV or a car like Ratchet is the same size as a sedan. Those cars should have all been voyager class and figures like Megs, Prime, Starscream etc should have been leaders. Blackout should have been way bigger than that.

But still, makes me want to get Megs.
Also I want Cog and Sideswipe.

Why does having a piece that should be made of fabric, be made of fabric, feel cheap? Vinyl doesn't shift and drape and fall like actual cloth does.
