The "Trans-Europe Express" gang is complete!

Also, found a solution to the crowdedness on the MP shelf -- cleared out 50% of my comics, making room in the cabinet above and now I can do rotations and display the characters properly. (It's not like everyone always appeared in every episode. Sometimes it was even just a couple of characters so why not on the MP shelf?)

Autobots gathering for a bedtime story told by Megatron (didn't realise how tall the figure is unless the KO is a few cm bigger for some reason, if hasbro ever do it in lighter grey plastic then I will have to pick it up anyhoos. Got to find a third party galvatron that is at least the same size of him now)

Decepticons introduced in Rebirth --

Missing only the clones and the Horrorcons. (And Scorponok but he's way too big anyway!)

He's not exactly on my desk, but I have been playing around with Titan Masters Sky Shadow a lot more than I thought I would. I'm an unapologetic G1wunner, so it was strange for me to pick up a pre-tool of a line that I would have ordinarily sat out . . . but gosh darn it, I liked Black Shadow's characterization in the IDW comics and I really don't have the means to spend +$1500 for an original Victory figure.

I'm satisfied with Sky Shadow on all counts, and I actually like that you don't have to disconnect his head to transform him. He was worth it! :-D

I'm quite happy with my SDCC white and non metallic red Jetfire leader. On my desk for a week now.
Took out Quickswitch for a bit, to see if I ever wanted a Sixshot, but he'd have to be like €20,- tops, and that's never gonna happen here.

Titans Return Fortress Maximus. He does take up half my desk but I am in the slow and steady process of applying his stickers. I have him and the new Trypticon (he stands beside my desk). I'm a stickler for collecting sets/rivals.
I bought these two on sale over Xmas and so now I'm on the hunt for Generations Metroplex and holding out hope one day Takara/Hasbro pull their finger out, stop flooding the lines with Autobots and give us a new Scorponok. Roughly the height of Trypticon should be acceptable.

Why would you want a Scorponok that's smaller than Fortress Maximus, but not Leader class to match TR Optimus Prime? Trypticon's height seems like a strange size to aim for unless you're going for toy accuracy which I'm not sure too many people would go for give the chance to fix his original size discrepancies.

I see what you're saying. In my point of view Fort Max and Scorponok should always have been the same height, even though the toys were really at odds with that. My first exposure to both was as City Bots (via Sunbow) so to me, they should tower over any Leader Class or even Gestalt.

I have no real stock in the toys showing any accuracy to their comic book counterparts, as the scale at play was always at odds with the City altmode. Which I suppose is why IDW shy away from either having that transformation.

That said maybe Scorponok should be the same height as TR Fort Max. Although, looking at TR Fort Max in front of me, the scale of Zarak would likely have to be equal to Cerebros. But at that size his Scorpion altmode would look pretty awesome.
