    Considering long nose tractors can be in the 40'+ range, that kind of makes sense.
    I do think BB Optimus is maybe too short, though.

    Does anyone have comparison pictures of Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime with TLK Voyager Megatron and AOE Voyager Galvatron?

    The bad cop is gonna arrest you for "stealing" eggs so you better run... Happy Easter!
    So I just opened Barricade and he is an awesome figure! My favourite Barricade so far. He is so damn movie accurate like a mini mpm. And those details are awesome! Definitely an upgrade from previous releases. However I do think he needs more paint and articulation to make him pop and the transformation is pretty difficult to tab everything. Other than that he is my few favourite deluxes along with Sideswipe and Jazz.

    Btw just a question, do your Sideswipe figures paint get scratched easily? Cause for mine after I placed him in a bag with other things to go out with him I was shocked to see the amount of paint chipped. Now he's staying at home.

    And those Scrapmetal jokes... it's funny yet weird to happen on him specifically

    If a Studio Series TFTM Megatron, Sentinel Prime, The Fallen, and Galvatron were made, what size class do you think they'd be?

    Congrats on getting Barry! And yeah, Sideswipe gets his paint chipped so easily but my copy is fine. I'm just very careful with him.

    Megatron - voyager/leader (I don't mind)
    Sentinel Prime - voyager/leader (I prefer voyager)
    The Fallen - leader
    Galvatron - voyager

    They are. The Movies had a set realistic scale and BB just threw that out the window and made Optimus 16 feet, First Trilogy Bumblebee's height

    I saw a scale chart (that I think Red Goblin made) and man was it pitiful seeing 15 foot BB Shockwave next to 40 foot DOTM Shockwave

    Is MPM Megatron out now? Seeing more pics of that now. Need a new addition to the mpm collection, been awhile since I’ve added to it.

    Can't decide if I want him or not. This toy is a great rendition of what I always thought was a terrible design.

    The pics you're seeing are of "liberated" factory rejects, ie. stolen. The final figure isn't out until August.

    He was there a few days ago in pre-order, but now it's gone. Car Dropkick, Drift and Hightower are still there and they were all put on Amazon just after being revealed.

    Wasn't there a boxset which included the 5 movie autobots and another similar pack for the decepticons? (2007 movie)

    I cannot find pictures of it, i'm sure it wasn't official at all.

    There was the United box set that had better painted Optimus, Hound and Crosshairs (maybe more).
    Don't remember a Decepticon pack, though.

    Are these scale charts legit though? Not trying to call Red Goblin's work or anything like that, I'm just curious does he base his scale charts of any official concept work or anything? Looking at shots of Optimus and Bumblebee near the end of the film, Optimus is nearly twice as tall as Bumblebee. So if Bumblebee is around 12ft tall, I find it hard to believe Optimus isn't at least pushing 20ft

    I don't know how I feel about the new smaller robots, but even if Optimus is only 16ft tall, it's still nothing to be sniffed at

    Anyway, to keep things more on topic, I've been fiddling with BB Optimus a fair bit lately, and I'm really liking him. I think I prefer Siege Optimus as a toy and SS32 as far movie Optimus designs go, but that's not to detract from how good this guy is. I especially like how the legs work for the transformation to form the rear end of the truck. I also like that I can put ToyHax Autobot symbols on his shoulders for robot mode and they get covered in vehicle mode. Seems like some real "robots in disguise" magic

    Yeah, there was the "Autobots Unite" box-set that Yaujta mentioned, which featured AOE voyagers Optimus and Hound, and deluxes Bumblebee (2015 camaro), Crosshairs, and Drift, all with premium paint jobs

    There were also two Dinobot sets, one with voyagers Grimlock and Slog, and deluxes Snarl, Slug, and Strafe/Swoop in G1 colours, and another set where Snarl was swapped out for Scorn and they were all done up in movie-accurate colours

    But I can't think of any Decepticon multi-packs. Certainly not exclusively Decepticon multi-packs, and not any involving the 2007 team

    EDIT: I think I've found what you might be thinking of

    I had realized that if there will be a Loader figure, he might be a retool ok of either Ironhide or the Dreads.
