    I'd argue that scale doesn't really matter with Cogman because unlike his Headmaster body, his Transtector never even appears officially and therefore doesn't have an official height, and also SS isn't focused on vehicle mode scale as much as robot mode scale. Also isn't Bumble canonically taller in TLK? He was definitely bigger during his fight with Prime, and some sources listed him as two feet taller IIRC.

    The scale of oversized bonecrusher and brawl are freak. Their robot mode scale with the mpm 03 bumblebee but the vehicle mode scale with the deluxe class bumblebee

    That was my first knockoff figure I ever got. I remember opening it and being in shock wondering why the colors and quality looked nothing like the box or Ebay listing.

    Speaking of Devastator knockoffs, I have yet to see anyone who owns the rotf oversized legends Devastator KO, one that was in actual scale in combined mode compared to regular legends/cyberverse figures. I can't find that set anywhere...

    Yeah get into the MPMs! They're expensive but great. And yes, MPM8 is like a foot tall. And I'm also considering taking my Rampage cause I love him but my fiancee hates him haha!
    It has begun! Just gotta wait for my orange paint marker to come in the mail so I can redo the blade of the sword and the axe handle. Then I gotta decide if I'm gonna do any ink washing before I clear coat.

    I remember seeing pictures of it online when I was a kid and boy were they huge. I wish I could grab one. This picture here says it all:
    upload_2019-8-13_19-14-7.jpeg
    And these, not sure if the same mold:
    upload_2019-8-13_19-19-12.jpeg
    upload_2019-8-13_19-20-11.jpeg
    upload_2019-8-13_19-19-25.jpeg
    For comparison the real thing:
    upload_2019-8-13_19-19-56.jpeg
    OSKO separated:
    upload_2019-8-13_19-20-35.jpeg
    In all fairness, Scrapper is the tallest of the bunch. Last time I checked 7.5cm.

    Does anybody know how tall the Mirage in this picture is? I want to try and get a rough idea on by how many percentages bigger this OSKO is.

    Dude I gotta give you personal thanks for painting SS-44's sea of gray; When I first saw the figure I was simultaneously in love and vehemently frustrated that he lacked so much paint. Every time I think about that figure I just get so anxious about how plain he looks stock but how gorgeous he could look with the right paint job, and even just seeing a WIP shot gives me the same feeling I'd imagine a heroin addict gets when they finally get their fix after a hellish two hours since their last hit. Keep up the good work and spam us with pics when he's finished! :thumb

    so how did Dropkick (the helicopter version) wind up as the biggest shelfwarmer in the Studio Series line? he's not a bad figure by any means.

    Was he just overpacked?

    AoE deluxe Lockdown actually was garbage though, even just as a toy. SS-22 Dropkick is inaccurate but still really cool.

    Thanks guys! Just appreciating my movie transformers. I went ahead and turned on the Peterbilt's lights. I don't normally get into photoshopping pics, but this was a good opportunity to try.

    I've stayed away from mpms due to costs and size honestly, but I'm willing to make an exception for jazz. The carbots are about a voyager size right? So hopefully there won't be too much of an issue. I've still yet to comprehend how much of a behemoth mom Megatron is though, and I'd love to see how he stacks up with a fully combined SS Devy :) 

    Also, how can your fiance NOT love rampage? He's so eerily charming, it's hard not to like him haha!

    Do you mean he’s in stock now? Cause the listing has been up for months. Pulse said the deluxes would be shipping on the 12th but clearly that hasn’t happened yet. I’m hoping they’ll ship by the end of the week. I’ll have two hightowers in the end so I’ll sell one.
    Haha I’m so glad you’re happy! I’m just glad that it’s a relatively easy fix. You can basically spray the entire trailer and all the weapons in the same session. I just used tape to block off the wheel area, the refrigeration unit (since that will stay blue), and the handles of the guns (so they still fit in his hands). I’ve decided that I’m gonna leave his regular blasters and the jetwing wings gray for now, although I might change my mind later. I don’t remember them being so shiny in the movies but I could be wrong.
    You could say, he’s the mother of all moms ;)  And yeah, the carbots are a little bigger than modern voyagers, although Jazz will be smaller than bee. I’m excited for him too!

    I’ve tried to get her to love my pet Rampage, but she just doesn’t understand how adorable he is. Oh well.

    I believe he's in stock. It says "add to cart" instead of "pre-order" now. I just ordered 2.

    Long Haul is on order on Amazon but won’t ship for a few days.

    I’m so tempted to get Hightower from Hasbro Pulse right now... but that shipping charge is putting me off lol. I have one on order on Amazon anyway (which says it won’t ship until December but I’m sure that’s just a placeholder).

    I think I can wait a few more weeks and get free shipping lol.

    I'm planning on trying to chrome out the whole trailer exterior myself and using flat metallics for the rest myself. Only problem is I don't have the Alclad chrome that's recommended for chroming, only Rustoleum, and either it's not that great or I'm not good with coverage, which are both a problem. I'll probably mess it up and settle for a glossy silver in the end, which is fine. :lol  I'm more worried about all the missing flame decals really...

    As a rare contribution to the thread, behold Cogman's blinged-out Transtector, as well as its modded roof shield:

    I, uh... may have misplaced the Headmaster component in my own house...

    Man after getting Megatron I still absolutely love MPMs. However, why didn’t they include frenzy with barricade?? Seemed like something they should’ve done I mean Jazz is coming with Sam lol. I hope they’re shifting towards more accessories and neat features in future MPMs. It seems that way with Megatron and jazz having a few and the splitting gimmick.

    I saw this figure at TFN last year for £25 and I still regret not picking it up. It's a bit of a weird, niche little piece that I'd love to get my hands on

    Bingo. Heli-Dropkick is great if you ignore the fact that he's supposed to be Dropkick. I kind of want to get a second one and add it to my KSI army for Galvatron
