    Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere, as I was out all day, but I didn't see it. So...

    Seems to be Warbotron Master upsized to Voyager. The original Warbotron Master, seen in themiddle of the last photo, is actually between the size of G1 Grimlock and the Justitoys Commander figure in size. This one is at a bit taller than Classic Voyager Optimus Prime, who is maybe 6.5 to 7 inches tall.

    Very interested. I wouldn't even mind assembling it and painting it. However plastic quality needs to be good...

    While I liked the set in general, the set definitely needed a lot of sanding to account for tolerances, especially if you want to do any painting. I did make a mistake with the rear hinge that connects the dino head, because the fit was way too tight, and it bent instead of swiveling. It would also be nice if they updated the hands, because the way they are is great for Legends class figures and possibly even Deluxe sized ones, but they're a little too blocky and simplistic for Voyager sized figures.

    Wow. After I finished assembling the smaller one and playing with it I remember thinking, 'This is so great it would even be a great toy upscaled to voyager size.'

    Not 100% sure I'd buy one since I'm pretty satisfied with the smaller one, but if the price is right...

    So the pieces are colored well enough that you don't need to paint? I can assemble, but I suck at painting.

    Dude, you could just say "Upscale Iron Factory..." and anything that comes next is probably a good idea. That whole company needs to be upscaled in everything they make except their Fall of Cybertron Grimlock upgrade.

    Oversized Master and Columpio appear about the same height, but Oversized Master is wider.

    FansProject Columpio and Classic Voyager Otpimus:

    Really like that mold. Not sure what I'd do with a voyager grimlock, but why not!

    This is what I'm wondering also. It looks like a nice figure
