    I messaged you right after the trailer aired but later i deleted it and did my own research and tracked his vehicle mode and its specs. So it's done as well

    Assuming you get leader megs and prime, you'll want voyager hound, deluxe bumblebee, crosshairs, Drift, and hot rod, deluxe berserker and barricade, voyager nitro, and if he's made voyager onslaught

    I sometimes wish they'd make the figures closer to actual scale rather than putting them into arbitrary size classes which depend on how important the character is as much as their relative size.

    I was hoping that the mpm line would have the correct scale we were wanting, but that's not happening.

    Would've been nice but I guess if they're planning of making a Blackout or Starscream in future, they'd be massive (and really expensive).

    What? The mpm line is already out of scale with the first two figures.

    He's talking about prime and bee. Though, bee is only half an inch too tall, and we still don't know exactly how Takara was measuring when they released their heights.

    I hope we get to see Quintessa and the creators/Quintessons art so you can add them on your scale.

    Hasbro could've release a AOE Cyberverse Commander scale Optimus Prime to be able to ride on top of AOE Leader Class Grimlock.

    About the Bee size, that half inch is too much for the scale. To be exact Bee to accord to the scale is supposedly follow that is 1/32, Bee needs to size around 15 cm (15.24 to be specific)

    Sorry for be soooo meticulous

    Actually MPM prime is in 1:35 scale. To be properly in scale at 16 feet bumblebee should be 16*30/35=13.71 cm or 5.4 in. However, hasbro has recently updated bee's height to 18 feet, sooo 18*30/35=15.42 cm or 6.07 in, the actual figure is confirmed by Takara to be 17.5 cm (though I believe all their carbots are listed at this height which renders this argument null and void, as a standard carbot is perfectly in scale at 18 feet) 17.5-15.42=2.08 cm or .82 inches too tall. If you're that picky, you're probably going to go insane before all is said and done, cause not even third parties are that exact.

    Whene did they update Bee's height to 18 feet? That would put his head above Optimus's crotch, when he's clearly shorter than that in all of the first trilogy.

    Age of extinction, it was done to make his fight with lockdown look better. Seems to have been carried over to TLK for the same reason with Optimus. Now it's officially his height.

    I guess it'd be impossible to get them to scale perfectly. What scales n robot mode doesn't always scale in vehicle mode and vice versa. Even the marvel n Masterpiece figures only scale in robot mode based on their heights in the cartoon (which themselves are based on the size of the toys, hence Huffer being smaller than most of the cars), but the scale for some of the vehicles isn't consistent. Bumblebee's alt mode would be larger than Wheeljack's in the real world, but because Bumblebee happened to get a toy that was to in all intents and purposes a smaller size class, he's been stuck with being the small one in G1.

    But from movie 1 to 3 he was still only 16 feet, and mpm Bee is based on that design. So mpm Bee is too big.

    If he scales in vehicle mode with mpm Optimus, then I can suck it up I think.

    Guys I think the MPMs are close enough, relax lololol

    Yes, Bee is now officially 18 feet, but in the first trilogy he was indeed 16 feet. So okay, MPM Bee is slightly too tall. But it's close enough, him and MPM Prime won't look out of scale together.

    And yes, if they want to go for relatively accurate scale, an MPM Megatron and Starscream and Blackout should be taller than Prime. They don't have to get the scales exact, but those three should be taller
