    I think they mean the headmaster partners will stand as tall as the powermaster partner of Powerbaser. That seems to make more sense to me.

    The calfs look to be the front of the car, while they were the back of the car in the toy and the cartoon, and the front formed the arms.
    Looks good, but I feel curious about how accurate this will look when we see it all.

    Looking at this I think there's something that disappointing me about how the lower leg is shaped. I would've liked if the lower leg shape was reversed, so that curve was going down the calf like a back swooshing bell-bottom. Minerva in the cartoon had this unique bell-bottom shape to her lower leg that I really liked, and was only really used in Animated after. The way her leg appears in that picture takes out that design cue that I liked about her.

    Here's some photo's of what I'm talking about.

    Going by the feet and the overall silhouette, definitely not animation accurate, and more of a stylized take on the character much like PowerBaser.

    Man this girl just keeps giving me some old school fans project fears. Like the proportions just seem off for her. But I hope the prototype pics or maybe even coloured images change my mind.

    Still appears to have the super-skinnny toothpick arms of the teaser silhouette, which is completely unlike her character model.

    And those baggy legs. It’s not a great look at all. I just want an accurate Minerva.

    I would love a show accurate minerva, but I'm also down for a good looking stylized version especially if the engineering is there.

    MP über alles is boring AF

    I mean whatever matches with their asthetics.

    Wait what does that mean?

    That probably means bad for Minerva robot mode... because FH's figures are always like muscle man style.
