    Any chance of doing a evil smirk face for Overdrive as an additional face, like the FT version? I am sure 598 would be more than happy to do the design for you. It would give Overdrive ALOT more character.

    I would gladly buy an upgrade kit with Angry / Smirking face Overdrive and for the first 2 members, and for MM. Seriosuly, additional face expressions is the best accessory after the gun, and would be most welcome.

    I think both sizes work. As I said in the FT thread, I think MM being a head taller can work- here he is this big monster of a bot, yet people think Optimus is King of the Road? Hence his hatred of Optimus and wanting to dethrone this King who doesn't even literally measure up to him.

    Reminds me of his TFU profile: "His Stunticon followers tremble before his commands, which he gives with a thundering voice that has the hollow, doom-laden tone of an echo from a bottomless well. "

    Major +1! I'd love a set of alternate expressions for the 3 limbs with mouths to come with Gravestone! And we definitely need at least a couple of expressions for Gravestone, much like FT has with Roadking.

    Very happy to wait till we see a finished gravestone before making a judgement on what one looks better, ft roadking is great but ft figures are not cheap and that is always a big factor for me, but as I've said before once the rest are released if they end up looking better I may double dip.

    my biggest issue and really only issue with FT RK is the scale, no Decepticons should be bigger than Megs right? Besides combined mode I mean. FT MP scale figures seem to be slightly OS. Its a small issue but its also one of the main reasons I like Gravestone.

    Skyfire? He was a Decepticon. Not a rule I personally follow.

    Megatron never appeared on screen with any of them. I mean specifically Season 1 and 2.

    Eh, a Decepticon for one episode? Not the point I was making.

    If they're going to do an add-on kit, I hope it contains the G1 toy style heads (normal sized not tiny obviously) and the backpack laser cannons for the cars.

    He was a Decepticon for alot longer previously than the one episode you saw in the cartoon and was still always taller. If that's your head cannon it's fine but you'll probably find most ppl will disagree.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Straxus was bigger too.

    Again are any Decepticons taller than Megatron is Season 1 or Season 2? I don't care how long Skyfire was a Decepticon, this isn't head canon. He was a Con for only one episode (in the show), I don't even care enough about the character to purchase him officially or 3P let alone MP scale, completely missing the point.

    May not have appeared onscreen with them, but canonically they were around during seasons 1 & 2 (well maybe not overlord) even if not on earth.

    I've never understood the idea that a leader needs to be the biggest. That not how it works in most societies, why should TF be different?

    It's not a necessity, but as I said I recall no Con being bigger than Megs in seasons 1 and 2 and that scale is how I remember them most, not comics or head canon. I love Sixshot and Overlord, I don't mind either one being bigger than him because they both were. And as no one has yet to answer the question Ill assume I'm correct.

    I believe Blastoff may have been taller. This is only a transitive guess based on his height in relation to the other Combaticons, and theirs in relation to Starscream.

    As always, there is likely a screen cap that proves me right, and one that proves me wrong.

    No you're missing the point. The answer is Skyfire, whether you like it or not lol

    He was a scientist with Starscream on Cybertron and therefore was technically a Decepticon for millions of years.

    If you really wanna be pedantic there's also Trypticon. He was technically in s2 with 'Scramble City' iirc

    He was only for one episode! I don't care about back story for fucks sake. I don't care about Skyfire in general, please move on.

    Actually skyfire was with starscream before he was a decepticon so skyfire was in fact only a decepticon for that one episode of the show he was even given the ensignia in that episode

    Yup...I see myself maybe getting a FT MM too and sooner rather than later.

    Extra faces and the vehicle (toy), cannons would be an awesome accessory pack! I know the cannons are likely already coming but I'd like more faces too lol.

    Obligatory scale is always stupid with G1. That said:

    There's some evidence that at least Blitzwing and Astrotrain may have been a little taller/more massive than Megatron. They share limited screen time in Triple Takeover. The scene where Megatron smashes Blitzwing and Astrotrain together suggests that they're roughly the same height, if not bigger than Megatron. Megatron is crouched slightly, but not too much:

    upload_2019-4-25_10-22-39.png

    If you want to take S3 into account on a limited basis, there's a scene where Blitzwing faces off against Galvatron, who most consider to be at least Megatron sized if not a wee bit larger:

    upload_2019-4-25_10-24-14.png

    Blitzwing looks a little taller than Galvatron (ignoring the head crest/crown/whatever), even being a few steps back. So there's at least an argument that Megatron wasn't the "biggest", but with margins that small and Sunbow's complete inability to be consistent, it'd be just as viable to go on being convinced Megatron is the biggest broham in S1-2.
