    I think Wei Jiang wins this round. Patience for this probably won't hold up, so I'll probably wind up with the direct KO and pick this one later down the line. This time though, blue pinstripes are a must! If the sculpt aims to be this accurate, the color schematics must follow suit

    Make the vehicle mode the same size as the leader class, I think that would make the robot mode just big enough to be right with bee and Ironhide. I think.

    I won't buy it Oversized. I'll stick to the LT version if that's the case. I prefer the MPM scaling. 1. to match my MPM officials and shelving space. 2. because MPM scale just feels more convenient. WJ Oversized scale sucks for my needs. I would prefer it if WJ sticks to Oversized scaling where the MPM scale needs it, like a KO oversized Blackout, or Grimlock.. There their scaling works.. but for me, if they make an MPM 04 KO under Black Apple.. I won't buy it if it's the oversized scale. I just don't need that, and it won't fit my collection.

    Dunno, even for the MPM guys, WeiJiang Prime might scale well in altmode with the MPM Carbots.

    I'm currently enjoying M01 Commander on the same shelf as LT01 Wasp.

    I'm actually surprised of how the backpack it's actually less prominent.

    HONESTLY, it's pretty obvious he's going to be oversized, i do not believe WJ for the first time would make a straight size for now KO, this otherwise could have been released for the LT line.

    I’ll buy it because they improved the mold, but yeah I really hope they upscale Grimlock and Blackout... someone should ask them to put it on their radar

    Well if you look at the original 1st time the Autobot Team is in Film, it shows the scale pretty easily how they all fit together in bot mode. There are other promotional images done that scale well with the wei Jiang, but for me, for the most part, MPM scale of my LT01 Hornet, and MPM 04 Optimus Prime seem to be on point..

    I did a rough line chart on where based on the height, and slight distance from each other in this movie screen grab. It shows how higher Then Bumblebee Ironhide should be, and how tall also Ratchet is, but Jazz was hard for me to determine cause his head was out of frame..

    [​IMG]

    I think the New MPM Ironhide is a bit shorter then he should be in toy masterpiece format, but it's okay, it still looks good. Approx is all I ever wanted, not true accuracy.. I would find it impossible to achieve anyhow.. so when I guess people are saying accuracy in scale, they are really saying Approximate.

    It looks spectacular! I need to see the alt mode. I'm curious about how much bigger it will be.

    Now if we can judge the vehicle mode through the alt-mode parts on robot we can see:

    -The rear wheels' covers are cropped.
    -The rear wheels are about the same size as the front wheel (bigger than they should).
    -The rear wheels are inaccurate (to have accuracy in robot mode)
    -We don't know how the back transforms, but if the fuel tank stays like that, it would be a shame to see the detail from the robot in alt-mode.
    -The gas tanks should be longer.
    -The smokestacks look to be properly sized.
    -Still needs correct side-visor.

    I can't wait to see the final product.

    I think every 1 on here is forgetting WJ and LT are same company. Why would they compete with the same size they already have..... plus it may just be better or stronger to do this mold at a bigger size. I dunno tho.

    People already know that.

    The thing it's that, you need to admit that not everyone will prefer the better toy being out-of scale with the rest of the line, because there's also no guarantee of getting almost every toy oversized or even as LT.

    So far, the entire mpm line would scale better with a larger Optimus anyway...

    Im talking about vehicle mode of course, considering the robot modes fluctuate so much that no definite scale argument can be made.

    Departments compete with each others under the same company. Happens all the time.

    Oversized? With no one to scaled to? As oversized as that?
    Hell no.

    But if it's the same size as the 2007 and 2009 Leader Class, That's fine.
    Be it Upsized than Oversized.
    But I'll not mind if it still the same scale as MPM-4's.
    3Ps should show Hasbro how to make / fix a figure from their own design and mold.
    Personally I want 3Ps to slap Hasbro's faces and the fandom will laugh at them.

    Hasbro should deserve something after delivering a faulty "Masterpiece" level product.
