    If the wheels on the train turn he's a buy for me.

    While I have no issue with battle damage it does bug me that it just sorta stops right before the knee with no rhyme or reason. At least have it transition or something. Other than that he looks fantastic. I like that all the guns combine into one big insane looking blaster. It\'s also nice that part of the coal car can give him foot extensions but I doubt I\'ll ever use them for that purpose.

    I was referring to the scale of the IDW2008 comics (my preferred scaling system)

    Most of them are around the same size however None of the Decepticons are bigger than Megatron except Devastator and a few others, combiners, Citys etc as it should be as hes the leader and most feared etc

    The cartoon never used a consistent or realistic scale, so anything attempting to be a "scale chart" or "scale accurate to the cartoon" is doomed to failure. If you want your TF toys to be in scale with each other, you have to ignore the cartoon completely.

    If you can find a cheap second Astrotrain you can cover that Shuttle gap.

    I’m a fan of the battle damage on most siege figures, but Astrotrain’s damage looks like... faecal matter, both figuratively and literally.

    It's nice to have a new fan of the toyline, but are you completely ignoring Combiner Wars? IMO, that's the best series in the toyline with accurate figures and impressive gestalts galore. Every one is a winner. Besides that, there are plenty of fantastic individual pre-TR figures you should look into. Some recommendations:

    - United Jazz
    - Battle in Space Cyclonus
    - Classics Mirage
    - Universe Prowl and repaints
    - Classics Ramjet/Gen. Dirge + Thrust
    - Generations Wreck-Gar
    - Generations Cosmos
    - Legends Hot Shot
    - Generations Skids
    - Generations Skullgrin
    - Generations Warpath
    - Generations Drift

    All of these figures are definitely worth your money. You'll be pleased at what the whole CHUG line has to offer.

    Combiner Wars? I agree some figures looked good but the combiners were flawed very much
