    So do these new "weaponizers" like Ironworks are able to combine with other ER Micromaster bases? So that you can buy multiple Ironworks and make a big base out of him with connecting ramps?

    Not quite Legends, but more like the old Scout Class but with added goodies at DELUXE price, not Voyager.
    The old Scout class was between Legends and Deluxe, so this pleases me greatly since the Minibot characters shouldn't be as big as Carbots.

    You’re right, they should be Ultra class like Universe Powerglide ;) 

    But yeah they’ve already done Scout-sized Deluxes with Studio Series so Cliffjumper is probably the same.

    As someone who has haf some experience with using rit dyes, those grey Prime hands look like they'll catch the dye pretty well. The only problem I can see is the Fingers on the pin becoming really loose as that seems to be the issue when you leave things attached at the joints while dyeing.

    Yea, scout would be a pretty good size, they weren’t much taller than legends but had a lot more mass. Simply for reference the rumble and frenzy in this pic are scouts next to the legends insecticons

    Yeah, I loved the Scout class back during the RotF era. Some of the best figures from then were that size.
    Having CJ be that scale, then possibly Bumblebee, Warpath, Huffer and other Minibots in that class makes loads of sense.

    For the actual thread topic, I'm honestly finding myself pretty excited for the new Prime in particular. I keep looking at pics and just imagining all the awesome shots that figure will produce with Siege Megatron and the rest of the gang.
    Siege Optimus is still awesome, bit the ER one will be my collection's official Optimus.

    No, they aren't. Scouts tend to have more mass and.more complex transformations, as well as being taller.

    No I see them head to head and they’re fucking legends scale disguised and scouts. Show me proof that I’m wrong because it’s just legends class but with actual thought given into the shits

    I've been saying for a while now that they are using the cartoon scale to base the characters on but people won't believe without a source. Do you have any links or manuscripts stating they are using sunbow scale?

    That means Sky Lynx if made would be a Titan Class to match up properly with the cartoon scale and with POTP Titan Class Predaking right?

    Like @Yaujta said, scouts are a bit taller (my pic is at a downward angle, but you can still see they are at least mildly taller) and have a more complex transformation. In addition to that they have more mass, their arms even turn into piledrivers via the tank tread transformation. And rumble/frenzy are two of the smaller sized scouts but their size would be my preferred size for cliffjumper so he can fit with the already released legends minibots


    Prime is one of my most wanted figures from earthrise along with starscream. The two I was least sold on prior to nycc are the two I want the most, after them is wheeljack and cliffjumper

    cliffjumper looks to be about 10cm(4") tall, with a gun that is almost as tall as he is.
    but getting an accurate measurement is impossible as he's not standing straight.

    I'd estimate his alt mode to be about 8cm long(3.15")
