    It all just depends on if you want realistic scale or toon scale
    I prefer the toon scale of all the limbs/devy being the same height and the torso bots being bigger
    Despite that im going with xtb to go with Zeta Armageddon and eventually Constructor

    . Right there with you. I don’t want them to scale to alt because well, jets, cars, shuttles, and such. As long as the are close to the same height in combined mode, I’m good. Say within 2-3 inches. I’m not a 20+or gtfo snob.

    I want the alt-modes and the combiner team members number to dictate (for the most part) the size of the combiner... But that's because I also display my collection in alt-mode, the scale doesn't have to be perfect but close enough!

    Some examples!

    Monstructor > Beastformers >= Devastator >= Superion >= Liokaiser >= Raiden > Landcross > Computron = Bruticus > Menasor = Defensor > Road Caesar

    I hope they completely do their own thing and use the cartoon as a reference more than a definition of what should be. Don't want it to scale with any MP stuff or MP-10 rubbish.

    Yeah, as slow as MMC can be, that's not happening. FT's just as slow, and even if they announced a Bruticus today they've still got Aerialbots and Stunticons ahead of them with no releases in sight.

    One of the MMC reps would likely know better, but I think it's supposed to be Arcee, toon Sphinx, Springer, then Vortex for their OX stuff. I wouldn't expect him before CNY.

    I would expect Vortex’s release date to be set for before then he gets delayed shipping overseas till after
    You gotta add in Inventa (Sky Lynx) before Arcee tho

    Is that right? I was under the impression that Arcee's release was imminent, but Sky Lynx did sort of come out of nowhere.

    Well, you could be right. MMC does that sometimes, where something that's been in the works keeps getting delayed and something else can go from announced to retail super quick and out of the blue, like Omne.

    My one masterpiece figure is MMC OX’s spring reissue of Ravage. Outside some floppiness in the pins on which the rockets fold out, he’s damn near perfect.

    So, unless Zeta announces something really exciting with a future repaint, I’d probably go with Assaultus. Much like with Armageddon, I’d like if Swindle’s top side was forward on MMC’s Bruticus. Still, I prefer Assaultus’ head sculpt. And, I certainly like that it might just be on an on/off switch like MMC’s Magna and Inventa, and not flash to a set of sound bites like how Zeta wired their head.

    Though, there’s plenty of time to think about it! :D
