    That's what I was thinking. It's the most obvious flaw. If MMC would just upscale Razorclaw, then at least to me their Predaking would be perfect.

    The combined modes proportions seem to be the most criticized feature of the project. Hopfully those at MMC are reading the feedback.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't MMC planning to make an optional sixth member to help bulk up the torso? I remember reading something to that effect in the Tantrum thread.

    You're right, the sixth and optional piece (?) is for a more balanced look, but we don't really know what that means. Not sure if we even know that the preview pic we've seen doesn't include the optional parts.

    It wasn't stated that way. All we know was that there's going to be a 6th member to balance out the overall effect. Do we know how that 6th member is going to be part of the Gestalt? No. We had speculations.

    Ah, okay. I've only been skimming these threads so far, but now that preorders are up and I've decided to take the plunge I'm starting to pay closer attention.

    So is this for sure the megathread or what? i don't recall Hercules members getting their own threads; can't we just keep it to 3 threads?

    Feral Rex
    War Lord
    Feral Rex vs. War Lord

    Agreed. On those three.

    Going from on thread to other is just nuts.

    ^yeah. I really can't keep track, and since I wasn't as religious as the Hercules thread now the names are starting to mess with my head. I am going all over the place for info's, and the argument of UT vs. MMC is EVERYWHERE. Every thread that has anything to do with feral or war lord, its mentioned everywhere (and I contributed too =.=)

    We just need 3 solid threads.

    I say keep it to two. UT's megathread seems to be working properly where all new reveals stay in there. MMC seems to get a new thread but they should be contained to one thread as well. Just update the first post with new info and you are set.

    As for the UT vs MMC thread, I say skip it. That argument is going to appear in both megathreads anyway and there will be no way to stop it without banning people and who wants that for no reason at all?

    It's probably worth reposting this from earlier in the thread -

    and I just spotted this had been posted on CenoKibble's Facebook page -

    If they're making Divebomb's head bigger, can they make the tail feathers a bit longer, to help hide the robot bits in bird mode?

    (and still hoping for a way to slim down the lower section of Tantrum in leg mode, so Predaking doesn't have to be so spread-legged due to very wide ankles--possibly either have the alt-mode haunches compress into the body sideways, or rotate them to the back of the leg)

    Finally took the time to guess the transformations for MMC and UT bots. Transformations look simple and practically the same.

    I really wouldn't mind if the lion mode was twice the size of the others or even larger if it meant the torso in Gestalt mode was better proportioned than the silhouette indicates.

    A huge robot lion would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind paying a little more if it meant getting a better looking Gestalt, and as for scaling with the others, I mean with Transformers scale is...well It's probably better just not to think about scale too much.

    I'm going to put some side by sides of MMC's Tantrum and UT's Headstrong because they are basically the same figure.

    Although neither suck I am on team MMC 100%. I'm not digging the G1 with articulation thing, I want my Classics updated as well.

    Razorclaw is definitely bigger than the others, this set is four Voyagers and a large Ultra.

    Sixth member is not needed to "bulk" the frame, but gives what we think it a very cool extra option.

    Black lion is much bigger than the other Voltron lions. :)  (and the legs are bigger than the arms!) Plenty of precedence for "dissimilarly-sized robot lions"

    ::edit:: Ooh, the moving cannons on the rhino are neat--wonder if MMC's can do something similar. Those pics also highlight about my only gripe with the combiner feet---UT's are more "flat" and wider, while MMC's "arch" at the top bit---the arch looks like a big cyclops eyeball to me. Either get rid of the "eye", flatten the arch, or something. (and if they could be widened/flattened overall, it'd capture the original look better IMHO)

    Ah, that's good to read. So not all around Voyager size. I'm really looking forward to see a combined mode picture.

    I am completely clueless as to what this 6th member is and I don't like being clueless. ( I realize I left a huge door open here lol)

    As for sizes, voyagers and a LARGE Ultra....this is going to be gorgeous.
