Depends on what scene you watch. Some have the triple changers the same height as megatron.

 

Yeh, that inconsistency in the G1 toon....Must see the chart to be sure, not that it is without its own flaws.

 

Same here actually. I remembered him being a bigger bot, but during a conversation about Fancy Cell Transportation Captain being about the right size when his feet are mistransformed someone mentioned he was about Seeker height. Did a little digging around from screen caps from the cartoon and sure enough, that is how he was depicted. Still I would actually prefer him to be a big taller and a Seeker.

 

I found a single instance where he was taller than the coneheads next to him. In the episode with the feme bots. But thats one single instance. I am one of the people who dislike to see Springer been displayed as huge, Ultra Magnus as asthenic and it seems the Decepticon Triple changers seeker sized...Perhaps with the exception of Octane....I really dont care for that guy like at all....

 

Here's one universe where that happens :


Transformers has SO many 'universes' I'm sure there's others.

 

Ok then. Then I demand a Shockwave Mp the size of a Devastator Mp.

 

I would hope for that as well but I think it's the Saturn V rocket problem where one problem creates another. This figure is just horribly imbalanced in robot mode with so much inversion and folding of parts that you have to have weight and cavities to store things and I think all of the companies fell victim to this in the design process. I love my Ditka but wanted Berserk especially because of the dual wing configuration. I suspect they ran into some problems in the design of not being able to fill out the back and having balance issues that were unacceptable on such a complex figure. Something can look great on paper or a computer but in physical form can fail horribly. I think they ran into that reality.

 

Blitzwing must come with a football. He's clearly a Vikings fan.  

This looks cool. I have to know, what's it called? What 3P/KO makes it? Is this MP scale or Voyager scale? And where can I get it?

Thank you.  

 

astrotrain and blitzwing were no bigger than megatron in any episode

 

I know some folks get all twitchy when you mention the scale chart, but FansToys follow it pretty heavily. They almost always have.
That chart shows that all the Triple Changers are taller, roughly Prime/Megs height. That's almost certanly where they will place it.
In fact, let's not forget they've already done a triple changer with Springer. Who is almost bang on with MP-10. I 100% expect all FT Triple changers to be that same height.
Seeker size is just too small. The triples are meant to be bruisers.

 

I haven’t seen anyone say they were but could Have missed it. They look really close to same size there in your 2 second vid. Maybe due to camera angle it could make them a hair shorter not counting blitz’s tank cannon which towers over.

 

Just a ko MP10, one the Bathing Ape versions. There’s an authentic one but it’s probably about $500.
Ko info here:

KO MP-10 Optimus now in white, green, purple, gold!!!

 

@dalianjj please give us a MP Astrotrain!! Chigurh just doesn't cut it.

 

Ain't that the truth.

 

... and so it is settled - the authoritative post on the matter

 

Also, please give us a real loco----it's odd how we often get "real shuttles", but the loco mode is usually a complete fantasy, that barely even looks like a steam engine at all, much less a Japanese one...

 

I'd settle for a Blitzwing right now. Then we can have Astrotrain after Hotrod, Sixshot, Trailbreaker, Beachcomber, Warpath, Brawn, Motormaster and Silverbolt.

 

Doesn't Toyworld's Evila Star have a realistic locomotive alt mode?



The shuttle mode was pretty convincing as well, IMHO.

 

The problem with Evila Star is his robot mode is far more toy than toon. Legs and feet aren't too hot, either.

 

Patiently waiting for a new pic attachment from dalianjj or @Cheem The Rup
