    Judging from the figs around it and WJ's box underneath this isn't MP scaled. Looks cool though.

    Going by the original Throttlebot in this pic:

    [​IMG]

    and comparing to the red one next to him I'd guess it's slightly bigger than an MP seeker. Depends on how big you want Astrotrain to be I guess. I'd personally like an MP one bigger than Megatron/Prime but maybe that's just me.

    Yes! Please be at least voyager size. In a moment of weakness I almost bought the Timelines Astrotrain to fill out my season 2 Decepticon cast.

    After posting it, I realized it from the picture with other figures and you both are probably right. It would be a bummer if thats a case and I might have to pass and wait for other major 3P considering this project.

    Well, I suppose depending on where you draw the line at mass-shifting (which just ain't gonna happen) and alt vs robot scaling… Astrotrain should be about the same height as Blast-Off, yes? Though, my personal canon amendment has Blast-Off as a drone similar to the X-37 and thus can be whatever size is necessary to make Bruticus work.

    But for me, for Astrotrain, the "scale rationalisation" limitation is the locomotive size; so I think roughly Seeker height would be about right.


    EDIT: This pic kind of shows the "Blast-Off" idea works… with Warbotron.

    Yeah I reckon around MP seeker size easy.

    I agree when it comes to alt mode but he should be a pretty big robot.

    Looks like large Classics, like Ultra Class. Probably meant to go with Orion and Hegemon.

    Also, looks like they have a Goldbug and a Cliffjumper repaint for the not-Throttlebot combiner! Who is the Fort Max?
