    Not mine but I think DX9 WIP on left, Pokect Toys on right and MFT in the center.

    I have the PT seekers which have a couple of missing pieces that TFDirect has been working for a long time to replace. I’m getting the MFT skittles seekers and just dealing with the height differences.

    Yeah, my top transformers want is a great legends g1 Rodimus. And much as I like what's coming out, I'd really like to see more representation from 86-88 (and definately not averse to bw/armada and so on either - in fact, I'd be very happy with some legends bumblebee movie bots, thinking about it!).

    Welcome! Kapow, ID toys, TFS express and ebay are all good bets for legends stuff in the UK.

    Is there an Iron Factory site or thread here that lists all of their figures, variants and accessories? I'm trying to figure out how many flight stands I'll need for their Seekers and other aircraft.

    Actually, this is technically right going by the Sunbow scale chart and even the Masterpiece line.
    But really, to each his own. We all know scale was all over the place in the cartoon, so really at any given point all of these figures are the "right size".

    I think the MFT upsized version works well with MS, Newage and Toy World.

    Do you want to see IF Ultimate Commander in his full armour, or just the core bot (or both)? Any specific Hasbro Legends figures you'd like to see him compared to?

    Wow awesome, I'd love to see them next to the Iron Factory seekers if you have them? and Shapeshift Inc's Heavymetal and Skynake? or any of the Transformers Prime cyberverse line? I am trying to figure out the best scales for each because I have never bought third party before, Thanks for your help!!

    Damn, Awesome, this is exactly what I needed to see. It seems like IF's prime is a little bigger, but Dutch is a bit chunkier? But Dutch does scale well with the Shapeshift Inc guys. Which would you say is a better figure? Dutch or Ultimate Commander? I have heard there is a problem with Dutch's hip popping off?

    Personally, I prefer Dutch. His G1 charm is undeniable. His trailer is awesome, especially if you already own the Hasbro Legends Optimus Prime with the little Roller.

    Yes, Dutch has his flaws, but if you get one with the fixed hips he's a fun little dude. Be aware though that even with the 'fix', his hips are still prone to pop out.
