I agree^^
This is the official scale

And love the Insecticon characters! There are already three different sets of third-party MP-Insecticons wannabes! Not that I'm rushing Takara. Gimme Megatron!

Yes, but look at those pictures you posted. Wheeljack comes right up to the middle of Ratchet's chest windshield in both of them.Cyberpath wrote:Couldn't be happier with the MP scale so far. The vanette guys were always taller than the sports cars.

Whereas the MPs of Wheeljack's height only just barely come up to the bottom edge of the Ironhide/Ratchet mold's chest windshield.
It's understood that Ironhide, Ratchet, Trailbreaker, Hoist, Inferno, and Grapple were all the tallest of the Autobot Cars, but that much taller than the others?

This. It works for me even though it's easy to go "But look at scene 18-3 from season 2 episode 8 and how the shadow of Trailbreaker's hood ornament easily ghosts the entire planet Earth!!!1" The animation wasn't exactly some super consistent high budget wonderland y'all.Cyberpath wrote:Well, The Transformers was a hand-drawn animation, and by several animators, so the height differences varied. (And never in their wildest dreams did the animators expect anyone to analyse it 30 years later.)
It doesn't matter to me how many centimeters taller Ironhide was than the cars, only that he's taller. And shorter than Optimus Prime. Which he's been consistently shown to be, like you said.
(Optimus Prime > Ironhide > Sideswipe > Bumblebee.)
Also, many scenes were drawn in different perspectives from various angles, and at different distances from the "lens."

Like this re-creation:
Didn't move the figures, just the camera.
Personally, the MP scale works brilliantly for me so far. And some millimeters here or there don't make much of a difference. (But just make MP Megatron the same hight as MP-10, Takara!)
