    Hey there everyone, I did have a question, hopefully someone can provide some comparisons. With the Back to the future crossover announcement coming anytime soon, I really want to put together my 80’s action team. With that said, does anyone have a picture of Earthrise Prime with Ectotron? I know the scale won’t be perfect by any means, but hopefully it doesn’t look too wonky in vehicle mode or robot modes. I guess what I want is a prime that look nice with the crossover figures, but I know I should just pick up this prime regardless according to some haha.

    Eh, Honestly dukes is the last in terms of how much I care for it. My main 3 I would be perfectly content with are Prime, Ecto-1, and the Delorean. Kitt would be a plus.

    Ectotron scales to MP figures, pretty sure he’s about the same height in bot mode as earthrise prime, if not taller

    MP44 should go best with Ectotron but...

    That should give you an idea just how far off their scale is.

    Unrelated, Micromasters with, or waiting for their bases.

    I know he's not in-scale but i still think ectotron looks great with the rest of the earthrise crew and his fellow scientist wheeljack!

    Honestly MP-10 works just fine since that’s the one ecto prime was made from, the sad part is that the back to the future collab figure is supposed to be a deluxe so it won’t scale well with ectotron except as a minibot

    And to keep this on topic:
    Who is the best character to hold the mini shockwave and reflector that’s comes with centurion? It’s obvious that starscream should hold megatron

    it's not an error.
    he probably scanned his favorite gun.

    and I don't know if he ever did that in the cartoons, but he does do it in transformers devastation and the comics.
