Voyager scaled, MP styled Reflector!

News Credits: 767 · by **Dead Metal** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 4:58 am

MP scale, pretty spot on size and design wise, those three were never all too big in the toon.
I really want to see these in alt-mode just to see how they pulled it off.

An Unexpected Panda digibash of the forthcoming Voyager scaled, MP styled Reflector!

by **necr0blivion** » Thu Jan 08, 2015 7:37 am

Not only do they look nice, but they easily replace the TFC version sitting on my MP shelf. I'm glad Fans Toys was able to keep all 3 bots the same size, as that was a problem with the above mentioned TFC version - the middle bot was designed to be larger than the side bots.

Hooray, S1 Decepticons for another win!

I wouldn't call them "Leader scaled", these do look MP scaled. Based on that picture in front of Quakewave(Shockwave), these guys are almost the same height as MP car bots. "Leader scaled" would be as tall or taller than Quakewave.

Man someone pull out the almighty scale chart, I'm not sure where Reflector falls. :BANG_HEAD:

What exactly is Leader scale? Is the combined camera mode Leader scale?

Think each robot looks like it's MP Sideswipe Voyager scale.

I'm probably going to be buying this, As it seems like my preferred scale for these toys. Hoping they come fully packed with all their original accessories.

My mistake, I was looking at the figures behind, should have wrote 'Voyager scaled, MP styled Reflector'

I will update! :saint:

If anybody should know the answer to that question, it's you.

Leader scale are those toys where the robot mode is larger than voyager and the now retired ultra figures (well, the new Jetfire should've been considered and priced as an Ultra). Remember those RotF and DotM Optimus Primes, Starscream, Megatron, and Ironhide? They are about the same height as MP OP, Soundwave, and Quakewave.

So, no we're not talking about the alt mode/camera. Just bot mode.

No problem, your two FT posts made my morning. This should be a great year for Fans Toys.

This I will get!

Always wanted a toon accurate Reflector.

While I like my PE Reflector that is with my CHUG stuff, this looks to fill a gap I've always felt existed in my collection.

Give them a bit of time to sort themselves out. It seems they posted this pretty quickly. I noticed earlier that they had Tesla on their mainpage for $109.99, but when you clicked on the product link it was listed for $119.99.

I'll wait until they update their product pages with the EB price before I put my orders in. Besides, G2 Bumblebee and reissue Takara Prime (MP-10) got listed this morning as well. HELL'S YEAH!!!! =P~

thanks for the heads-up

i think i will be preordering these then, unless takara announces them before these arrive

I was hoping for the bots to not be exact clones of each other when somebody produced these. Probably a long shot but I also hope they are not all identical color scheme.

It's pretty close to how they were in the G1 cartoons.

Very true. I guess I am hoping like FT other releases this will have a toy colored version as well.
