    Thanks for your help guys....I'm getting a little out of control but damn, transforming is fun. I played around with SS-38 Optimus last night and I'm really impressed with how he goes together.

    So I basically looked for marked down figures...I have SS-06 Starscream, SS-12 Brawl, SS-13 Megatron, SS-16 Ratchet, SS-17 Shadowrider, SS-18 Bumblebee, SS-33 Bonecrusher and SS-42 Long Haul all ordered and on the way.

    Definitely some characters still to track down, but I might need a breather for a bit. I've dropped some coin over the last few days that I didn't plan on lol. But whatever...they are fun toys. I appreciate toys that can be fun. I'll just have to take a hard look at some of the stuff in my collection that's decidedly not fun.

    I was able to fix it! For now... I had to use super glue on a couple really small parts so I’m not sure it will hold. But for now it’s OK I’ll just be very careful when transforming him.
    Showz has it. TF-Direct has it too but they take a million years for anything to arrive at least for me. It’s only $5 everyone should have one! This is honestly the perfect size for this mold. He’s the size of a small deuce but just as functional and he’s even slightly better painted than the original since he has the chest flames!

    Also apparently they’re doing a downsized TLK voyager Megatron too! I don’t have a link yet just screenshots from @capcomkai ’s Instagram:

    I love the amount of detail Toyworld puts into their figures and the paint on them is fantastic! I just don't like how they keep teasing new figures which will never come out. Nevertheless, the figures they have made so far are quite cool! I love my Bulldog! However, I think I'll skip this one as I don't need more Bumblebee figures:p . Cool pics!

    These are adorable, gives me major DOTM/Prime Cyberverse vibes! How does your Optimus look with legion/legends cars?

    I was tempted on these, but I think last I checked you can't find them in stock anywhere, and they shot up in price on the secondary market.

    showz's page says you need to email them your order number for grimlock to order the mini prime.

    Looks cool! but just a bit small for the SS (imho)
    Have you seen this video
    Don't you think Brawl could fit in SS scale ?

    Didn't dig Brawl out, but here are some comparisons in alt mode.
    Clunker Bee and Ironhide
    20191113_114957.jpg
    Jazz and Barricade
    20191113_114947.jpg
    Beetlebee and WWII Bumblebee 20191113_114937.jpg
    And the two released Toyworld figures together
    Green Hornet and Bulldog
    20191113_114927.jpg
    For a more permanent fix I can help if it breaks again. Let me know.
    He looks awesome and fun!

    Unfortunately the Dreamfactory guys don't scale well with anything current. They were designed to scale with the RotF carbots. They're much too big for SS, and too small for MPM. Each of them is a good figure no doubt, but they don't really have a spot in a collection unless you're still using RotF bots.

    You are not wrong, the cab is to small indeed. that is why I will swap it for the cab and such from the ROTF Mixmaster, they were the same truck and it gives me better wheels to work with. I am now figuring out how to make it all work altrough I do have an idea how I could get it all to fit, it is now testfitting and testing and probably will soon end up in a new Radicons custom tread like I always do.

    I do not have the SS Brawl since I tought it was a little to small to bother with, converted to the SS Scale I collect (1:38/39) Based on the M1 Abrams tank, he should be around 25 cm in vehicle mode. By what I have seen he looks a little to small. I could check the leader someday to check if he scales properly but I believe he was a little to big.

    What's the general thoughts on La Hire? I'm seriously enjoying his looks

    I mean judging by this video LC Brawl is too small for 1/32 scale, which means he could be just about the same scale as SS figures. Look at this picture he is a really big boy [​IMG] and this scene from 2007 where he smashes BMW

    Haven’t transformed him yet but here’s a pic with a regular sized water bottle:

    You don’t actually need to. The idea at first was to only let people who had that figure buy this one but they seem to have given up on that a while ago. I ordered it all by itself and had no issue.
    Thanks I’ll keep that in mind! And green hornet looks great with the other SS figures.
    He’s still in the “best figure of 2019” slot for me currently. He’s that good. If he were a figure of a character I connected with more he might even be my favorite transformer of all time. Optimus Prime is dear to my heart but la hire is a better figure than challenger. And dat alt mode. Whoooo I’m gettin hot just thinking about it! Or maybe that’s the heat on too high in my office...

    I really do love a proper scale debate, so thank you for this, I got my Junker leader Brawl out for size comparisons :D 
    50eb6169d36edfe18f6e44a17c6db7db.jpg
    this is in metric cause well, I am european.

    The data I have on the M1 is the M1A, witch does not include the added armour and the secondary turet Brawl has was a custom add-on piece for the movies so we exclude all that. (altrough the Tank used was actually a fake tank/prop, not even build for Transformers but redressed from the movie XXX-2 but according to that documentary, it is based mostly on the Abrams M1A1 so we use that for reference)
    The Abrams M1 is
    - 7.59 meters long (no barrel) and 9.67 with barrel
    - 3.61 meters wide
    - 2.5 meters tall.

    The Leader class Brawl is

    - 20.1 cm long, (no barrel) 25.7 with barrel
    - 10.1 cm wide (up to the narow line on his body witch I think would be acurate)
    and 11.6 including the armour (widest part of the body)
    - 6.6 cm tall.
    15D57ADB-CECE-4D5E-AA54-1055E17950E7.jpeg 91D4C602-7DA4-4899-8322-83E37F84C1BC.jpeg 59743885-2090-4E4C-8C58-63B4D4CFB7AD.jpeg C2145824-31C6-42E3-9489-1E1B8B7C2A87.jpeg
    so his length is 1:37.7 (with barrel 1:37.6).. his width is 1:35.6 (or 1:31.1) scale and his height is 1:37.8

    Since his width is difficult to determine, I would ignore it for now.
    and rounding up 1:37.6 to 1:37.8 to the nearest number it would become a 1:38 scale Tank.

    So you are right in concluding the Leader class Brawl is actually in scale for the SS series!
    Thank you for making me do this calculations! Now all I need to do is find the missing parts to make my jumker complete and remove the electronics and give him a repaint...


    Since I will repaint the crap out of it once it is done, I will be happy with just this one..
    I plan to use the wheels of Mixmaster and figure out a transformation that allows the calves to be less bulky and just a little higher.. We will see what the future brings, I like his sculpt trough.. he really is a nice figure.

    I got Long Haul in today and he's a chonker. The transformation is a bit simple but he looks so cool in bot mode.

    An amazing coincidence! Of course mine will be staying stock while you will be working wonders with yours. Can't wait to see what you'll cook up!
