    Is there a list of all of the oversized TFs?

    So far I just know of Grimlock, Prime and Starscream.

    I'm trying to get caught up on everything, there is so much stuff out there since I stopped collecting.

    The Fanstoys Omega has brought me back in.

    Okay, people have him and we still don't know his altmode scale. Come on, give me the stats. Is he 1:48 or close to it?

    I'd love to see him in alt-mode next to MP-10 and a couple more of the official MP cars.

    I was going to hold out for a more realistic deco but with this one and green-scream Im guessing a mid-grey one will be some ways off. May have to bite. May also have to find some large enough Decepticon transfers for those wings!

    On top of Sideswipe by Tanaka, there are also oversized KOs of the combiners like Feral Rex/Predaking and Warbotron/Bruticus. Currently in development that I'm aware of are oversize versions of Megatron and Ironhide from WeiJiang, and Bumblebee from KuBianBao...

    geez you guise!

    I have mpp10 and m01 commander just because of how great the quality is and dont feel to bad letting my son play with them. I thought for sure those two would be the only ovesized figures I would get, but man its hard holding off on not getting this.

    Hmm..the description there says 28cm tall while the original box pics said 32cm tall. The whole reason I was going with the Tanaka version was the added height. If it's the same height as the panel lined version, I'd prefer it.

    Wonder how we can get some confirmation on the height.

    Using MPP10 for comparison, they look to be pretty much the same height:

    Well now I'm left to wonder why the Tanaka one is so much cheaper. Simply because of the panel lining? But then he comes with extras that the other doesn't. Hmmm.

    From what I can tell, the Robot Hero version has custom parts. The thighs are flat all the way down and the feet extend forward a lot more than the standard mold.

    The Tanaka version seems like a direct oversize of the official mold without any mods. Also it may not have the added clips on the chest to hold down the chest thrusters like the RH version does. Can't say for sure until we see a comparison vid

    Hopefully Wei Jiang will do one in 100% Takara MP11 color deco.

    My KFC Stack, Mp-5, Mp-1 and the like will be pleased with scaled Tanaka StarScream. Can't wait to put this up with FT Skyfire as well.

    Looks great. Could you line him up with MP Soundwave and a 3rd party Megatron if you have him? Just want to see whether he'd work with the existing MPs. I really don't mind the seekers being huge but there's a limit. Thanks. :)

    Unless you plan to give Starscream the powers of Apache Chief (Inukshuk!) he will not fit in with MP scale.

    And yet there's a part of me that thinks they look great together. :) 

    Cheers for the photo anyway, much appreciated.
