So I'm still deciding whether or not to break down and get the TF movie toys. This is a pretty big deal for the Transformers. The thing is I have no money. So if I go for a movie toy, I want the character at the most realistic size to scale. It seems like they're going to be releasing multiple sizes of the same characters, so if anyone has kept up with the releases (both takara and hasbro) which figure is best at what scale? I just want to save as much cash as I can while getting the figures at the best scale and price. Any help is appreciated.


Ok weird, as i posted this donald faison, turk from scrubs, was singing the transformers theme as neil diamond. Funny.

Leader Prime! If you only get one, go for the best. If you can't get that, Ratchet is cool.

Hmm should I rephrase?

Since certain characters are getting all different sizes of figures, ex: starscream deluxe, voyager, supreme, etc... Has anyone figured out which size class is best for each character?

So maybe the cars should be deluxe and starscream, a jet, would be best at supreme size, and prime best at voyager.

I just want to save as much money as I can. I want to get each character but not multiples of the same character just because I buy one and a little bit later they release a better more in scale version.

Here's a break down
Regular cars:
Deluxe
Larger land vehicles:
Voyager
Megs, Screamer(If made this big), Blackout(If made this big), Brawl(If made this big):
Leader

There, all your Movie TFs are sorta inscale to their vehicle counterparts.

All cars should be Basics!!!

That's progress >_> Why would anyone want crappy little dinky ones when you just upsize the airforce?

If I hat it my way it would be,

Deluxe:
Bumblebee
Jazz
Barricade

Voyager:
Ironhide
Ratchet
Bonecrusher (maybe Ultra?)

Leader:
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Blackout
Brawl

Other than Prime and Megs, which others are definitely going to be released in different sizes? It seems to be only the larger alt mode Decepticons that have scaling issues.

From what's released so far, these are in scale with eachother and are the size to go for IMO:

Deluxe:
Bumblebee, Jazz, and Barricade (and maybe Scorponok)

Voyager:
Ironhide and Ratchet

Leader:
Prime

That makes all the in movie Autobots covered but begs to question as to if some of the Cons are going to get bigger releases.
