    The figure is Legends scale.

    Because of artistic differences it varied. Some times, like the picture above, it is Siege Omega Supreme (so Titan class). Others, like the first picture below, it's a bulky Commander class.

    I think this picture captures it best though. Those are deluxe sized Autobots there mostly. They go up about 40% his boot (just under half in any event). His proportions and bulk are really similar to Siege Omega Supreme. That makes him a little bit larger and bulkier than Siege Omega, were he a properly scaled toy. So let's just say Titan class. Which means Garatron is legends scaled.

    But that's fine because making Thundering into the Incredible Hulk, Transformers edition here, was a weird IDW thing and he is more typically associated with Voyager or Leader class (basically Optimus prime to Ultra Magnus sized), which this guy is.

    So he can be fine for CHUG too if you like your Thunderwings "normal" sized rather than wold ending cataclysm scale.

    Crazy; I thought about selling mine a year ago and he was shelf-warming all over the Internet. Sadly for you, bro, I decided not to sell

    Yeah the thing's hard to find now. I was only able to find the one on ebay for about a $100 over msrp, still picked it up though because there was no way I wasn't grabbing it before someone else did.

    I currently have him displayed next to my Takara Ginrai, who I'm using as Powermaster Optimus Prime (only reason I picked the takara version over the hasbro one even though I like the hasbro truck mode more is the actual hands) for my chug collection. Sure, neither of them are completely accurate to the comic, but they're close enough imo to work.

    Hard to get an exact size but an *average* sized bot comes up to only mid-shin. He's HUGE.

    91973775-8B41-449C-B7EC-0B375B7EFDD7.jpeg Finally nabbed this guy after months of stalking eBay. He does not disappoint. Sure he is a little fiddly and is like 50% backpack, but he looks incredible has great paint and plastic with a tasteful amount of die cast in the feet. It’s a shame he didn’t sell well because I think this company would have rivaled MMC and possibly fans toys had they stuck around.
