    so Smokey is a deliberate reference to "The Mask" right? He's the same color...

    Yep, something in between what Takara did and what FT did, would be ideal. Basically nobody did it "right".

    I would prefer I'd it doesn't. Lowers parts count, and would probably make it stronger overall

    Me too. I think this sentiment is pretty common. We already have a trailer for Roadking. How or why would you display the skeleton as a second trailer?

    I'm pretty sure we're getting a transforming trailer regardless of what we want though :/

    I missed out on the reasonable Smokey prices, but otherwise I’m in on both XTB and FT’s versions so far...

    FT to me is superior all around, but I think XTB’s combined mode still looks the part enough that I’ll happily leave them as Menasor and be able to keep these guys in robot mode!

    I'm sure you already know, but the cartoon was drawn to keep things **roughly** in scale with the 80s toys. That's why sometimes a car is bigger than a space shuttle in the show.

    In the cartoon there were minibots who took on obviously undersized or oversized alt modes. Nothing in the show was "real life scale" and the sizes of characters changed a ton. In that vein, I can't be bothered when something is slightly over- or under-sized unless it's particularly egregious.

    Nice sticker placement. Are those clear backed rub ons or waterslides?

    I’m keeping mine in alt mode too for the time being. I’m excited for Smokey and Bandit. It’s going to be wild combining them into a two foot robot.

    Smokey looks a bit bigger than the other two in alt-mode... I wonder how they proportion Bandit.
