    Man oh man... if not for TransCraft, this guy would be at the front of the pack! I'm still torn; seems like TE cheats less in the transformation, but TransCraft's bot mode is just amazingly perfect and kibble-free from all angles... might wait for reviews of both before deciding, if I have the patience.

    So happy that either way, we're getting at least one awesome figure of this design!

    PS. That Mirage next to him is a thing of beauty on both modes.

    That seems big for SS though. Heck maybe it’s their own scale.

    Finally some clarity on what scale this is. As neat as this figure looks, I'm not really in for the SS scale, so this help narrow things down for me between the TransCraft and the Zeta options.

    I’m not sure how accurate those tests are. I respect your efforts however. I think we’ll be best assured if we get a confirmed height.

    Going off of Mirage, then off ot TE-01, TE-02 is 5.75".
    So, do with that what you will.

    Yeah, that looks MP scale to me. Considering how far he is from their Mirage, I'd guesstimate he's shoulder height on him at least.

    Yeah, TE Mirage is Sunstreaker/MP Car height and TE Bumblebee is a little bit shorter than that. So he's definitely not SS scale - he'd have to be smaller.

    For the size/scale debate. Using some simple geometry and mediocre editing, the top of this guy's head should be just below the top of that mirage's shoulder. Now do we know the height of that mirage?

    I would be much more likely to buy this one! Transcraft may have my money but it looks like almost 3A scale, so if they're in those scales I would probably replace my official ss figure with this one and replace my 3A deluxe figure with transcraft.
    I think it's smart actually. They must know that theirs was just blown away by the much more accurate other ones (especially transcraft) so they decided to go for the "ours may not be the best but it's still cute and fun!" route. I think it's charming, or at least it's a good attempt at being charming.
    Very clever how you did that!

    TE is very nice, a little bit chunky but nice. ZT has lights, but... is too flat and thin, and less accurate of the three of them. Depending the size I will buy ZT or TC. But I need more pictures, official sizes, videos! XD.

    Something makes me think that they will cancel the production of this figure, is totally out of the battle.

    Look the poor attention is having this figure, no-one is talking about this one. No-one seems to like it with the other brands outthere. Also is taking too much to show news of the figure and the attention disappear.

    I mean it looks better than the zeta one and is a completely different scale. In fact, I think it’s the smallest one and might end up the cheapest, so I’d wager it’s going to get a good reception once it’s actually out.

    Yeah, while it's probably the least accurate in the details, it looks simple enough that I think this might be the most fun toy of the bunch. It has my attention for that reason.
