    Well if you go off 1:72 scale then I think MAYBE Harrier and Falcon are close. Eagle and Phantom would have to be about the size of the MP seekers to say the same though
    Blackbird would have to have the body of the jet the same size as the WHOLE jet of Eagle, with the nosecone that length again (basically twice the length of Eagle, nosecone to tail)
    Edit: This is based off rough memory of the length in inches of my 1:72 harrier model and what I remember seeing for TFC 'Harrier' I'm probably wrong.

    I could calculate the scale if someone who owns the toys could measure them...

    No, I just want to know the scale of the jet modes. Heights of the robots would help too so I could figure their real world heights.

    Okay, I'm told the Blackbird toy measures 12 inches long as a jet.

    A real SR-71 is 1289 inches long. That makes him 1/107 scale.

    Anyone know how tall he stands in robot form?

    ...Well at least that puts him in scale with MMC's Cyclops, who's also at about 1:107 scale^^

    edit: oh hey probably should have just looked at my pics ahah 8inches tall he is. With almost another inch more if you have the engines at their normal pos.

    So I dunno if anyone speaks or can read chinese but the source of all of tfcs pics seems to be the actoys bbs º£ÔôÍõ,±äÐνð¸Õ,fate,JOJOÆæÃîðÏÕ,Ä£ÐÍÍæ¾ß - ACÄ£ÍæÍø - ÖÐÎÄÊÀ½ç×î´óµÄÄ£ÐÍÍæ¾ßÉçÇø Since tfc isn't a word that can be directly translated to chinese it'll appear as english there if its a topic on the main page.

    Its where stuff gets posted unofficially from what I gather, maybe tfc employees post there just as grif posts here? Anyway seems when pics are officially released they get added to a companies gallery, tfc's being here å˜ç›Ÿ - 第三方资料库 - AC模玩网-ä¸*文世界最大的模型玩具网

    Figured if anyone wants to see pics asap them two places will be where we get them.

    Edit: after some digging and rough google translating, seems we may be getting all the full color pics (falcon, harrier, final combined mode) next week.

    Yeah weibo is for creators specifically though, you need to be part of a company and give em sms confirmation n all that to make an account there. ACtoys logos are always on the pics so if we don't get em straight from weibo that's where we will. =)

    So many combiners to get. But I'm broke enough as it is.

    How do you figure there are "so many"?
    Uranos, Mansor and Rex, done done and done.
    Only two of those are definite buys as far as I'm concerned.

    I'll hopefully be doing Uranos and Rex. Got Herc and FP Brut, but still wanna get MT Giant Type-61. Plus, there's also Hexatron and the FWI-03 Jetpack and various MPs this summer...the list goes on...

    Use your own preferences. Asthetics, size, price point, and "design" should be the measuring stick you apply.

    Get what you are going to like. All have great pros and cons.

    There is a LOT of bias when it come to 3rd party transformer combiners.

    I totally understand. I took on a second job to feed my plastic crack addiction.

    BTW, I took a look in store, the plastic texture on the Uranos bots seems smoother than the plastic on the Herc. Is that true?

    Those three are roughly a $1500+ investment (minus shipping) alone and you forgot Computron. Anyone who wants to get all the combiners this year is going to either be in debt next year or otherwize not be able to buy much else for a while =P

    Right, there's also Quantron, although I'm still on the fence about him, ever since Grimlock outsmarted him.
