    Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Beast Machines Diagnostic Drone behind the Quint on the right?!

    YES! I spotted the drone immediately. It's the wrong colors but that can be overcome. I want that drone!

    So now everybody & their mother is starting a new 3rd party Transformers company? And they can't even think of anything original? They're just going to start copying each other?

    I like the scale, but it looks like the IT version has a cleaner sculpt.

    I hope they are not too expensive. More than 20 bucks would be insane.

    These guys must be 3-4 inches tall at most! I guess they will work well with MP Grimlock but I don't really see the point of having such tiny figures.

    How do we know what the scale is with these guys? Are there any screen captions?

    I just think it a stupid idea to remake IT's, and IT's look so much better from the photos.
    I will just pass even if they are asking for 10 bucks only, but usually they would ask for at least 15.00 or higher.

    YIKES, assuming that is THS Convoy, and it looks to be, as other's have said, these guys are TINY!!!

    Which has a certain appeal, but probably not what most "classics" collectors would want as companion pieces.

    OTOH, the Quints' portrayal size-wise was pretty squishy in the cartoon, like everything else scale-related...so these COULD work...

    ALSO- Allicons. Please. Somebody? Anybody? We've GOT Sharkticon and Quintesson options, but no Allicons yet.

    Not to mention the Squid ;)

    Kinda hard finding screen caps but if you watch this video you'll see that they're supposed to be pretty big.

    Yeah, I'm just not clear on what scale they were shooting for with this model? Cyberverse?

    Seems like a strange design choice, though I suppose the price tag might make them compelling for anyone that wants a Quint but isn't too fussy about the idea, and doesn't want to pay for a larger scale one.

    Dunno, seems strange, for sure.

    Just got an update photo from the bbs "ACtoys", and guessing the Q’s Judge’s scale should be “Legend” level.

    Hmmm.... interesting. Maybe they'd look good with Unicron and other big bots like SkyLynx..

    I have the larger Quints shown in the pic. I am more than good enough with that. It also helps that I do not consider Legends a size class to an official line.
