I'm one of those douchebags, but I'm all for a true Classics Ironhide/Ratchet, as they would presumably be a smidge superior to the Tow-Line mold, since they would not be designed to combine and would be made specifically AS the character(s), instead of a multiple homage.

 

Classics 2.0 G1 Ironhide, plz Hasbro, kai, thnx, bai!!!

 

Well ... that's lame.

Now, that's better, but still lame.

Very true! I love the fact that these are essentially relics of the Pre-TF era.

 

Look at any episode that features Prime/Motormaster, then compare the toys... and while you're at it, compare him to the OTHER gestaults, then get back to me...

 

Well, I'd compare him to Superion but his blown-out kneecaps make him flop over like he's trying to get under the limbo stick. Stumpy-armed, bowlegged brick.

So what's Menasor's problem again?

 

HIS MAIN COMPONENT, MOTORMASTER, IS FEATURED IN CARTOONS AS BIG AS OPTIMUS PRIME, BUT HIS ACTUAL TOY IS A MIDGET!!!!

Jeez!!!

 

that's cause he's a combiner, imagine what a giftset would've cost if they'd made them as big as you're saying.

 

He's not that smaller compared to G1 Optimus Prime's bot mode. The vehicles are clearly not in the same scale though.

Hehe, those heads are kinda cool. Though I do prefer the reprolabels head stickers..

 

To punch or not to punch? That is the question. I do prefer the reprolabel stickers as well but don't want to spend the money on the upgrade set. Hmmm...

 

Thus providing the ONLY example of TFs being out of scale with each other....

 

Yeah... but how cool would that be? I mean, look at all the kitbashes!

 

Uhh... it's the only one I'm complaining about... what's your point?

 

My point is that there are TONS of TFs -- especially in G1 -- that are out of scale with each other. I don't see how Motormaster's lack of being in scale with Optimus makes Menasor bad.

If scale is your quality indicator, why aren't you picking on Superion or, for Pete's sake, BRUTICUS? I mean, c'mon, a jeep, tank, helicopter, and space shuttle all the same size? At least the Stunticons' scale is fairly consistent within the group.

 

because their gestaults LOOK better than Menasor.

 

Then why not just say you feel that way in the first place, rather than trumping up scale as an objective reason for it?

 

This is just an awful mold with or without the heads, should have never been reissued. I'll continue to wait for, well, ANYTHING else.

 

YOU'RE the one making a federal case out of it!

 

sir youre in contempt of this court!
