    Hey, if the toy's smaller, it means more shelf space. Remember that :p

    They don't seem all that small in the grand scheme. Hot Roddy appears to be just a bit shorter than Armada Bendy Prime, and taller than short Cyb. deluxes like Red Alert.

    Seems we're back to a more Beast Wars-esque average size standard for Deluxes to me.

    Either I'm dense and just didn't see it before, or ASTROTRAIN is the newest review w/pics! :D

    Well at least I understand why Hot Rod is now called Rodimus. Seeing how "Action" is his middle name (so says the new Tech Spec motto) it's not like they'd sell a figure called "Hot Action Rod"....sounds dirty :confused2

    Not too pleased with the sizes of these at all. They should be upscaling them to use with Alts and Masterpieces, not downscaling them...

    Uhm, yea the pricepoints are $9.99 and $19.99, you want these toys to be similar in size/scale to toys that are $19.99 and $64.99?

    I realize these are a bit smaller than we would have liked but aren't your expectations a bit much?

    I LOVE that Hot Rod, naughty as that sounds. It's a fabulous figure of my fav bot. But...no Auobot symbol on his hood/chest....no biggy, a trip to Reprolabels will solve that.
    But the orange spoiler...i miss the bright friggin' yellow. All well, that's minor. Time to hit an online dealer.

    Bumblebee is a MUST buy.

    The others are range from probably to most likely. :D
