    I'd be so irrationally mad if we got yet another Star Saber and got stiffed on Victory Leo a second time.

    MP Star Saber is actually a similar size to the G1 toy, so he works just fine with CHUG. He's supposed to be a BIG character, after all.

    Case in point (Taken from a chapter of my Crossroads comic):

    That's interesting about Star Saber with the promo shots with God Ginrai. Forgot about that....

    Yeah, I put UW Devy with my MP. That seems to scale ok there. Definitely too bad for my Generations/CHUG, especially considering every other combiner sans Predaking is so small compared to him.

    I’ve never felt the toy fit in with Transformers, so I’ve never had any interest. It looks more like Gundam to me. It certainly wouldn’t look right standing with any figures in my collection.

    Until/if Victory gets more Takara MPs (or someone makes one that I feel is consistent with TT aesthetics), he sits on my Headmasters MP shelf - though that one is threatening to break into two shelves at this point.

    Stuart Sabre stands with Delta Magnus and the repaints/Diaclones, as a sort of 'future teams gang'... it just needs more Decepticons.

    honestly the MP line has over played its cards with me, the price, the issues, cartoon look, so i started looking at who could move over to my classics shelf a while ago.

    bumblebee, goldbug, hotrod as rodimusprime, grimlock,

    now these ones are a little bigger than they should be but not by much grapple, inferno, prowl and co, sideswipe and sunstreaker (but i have badcube) tracks is also nice, these work if your still using bigger toys from the older classics line, classics 1.0 prime is still a great toy, things like sixshoot. overlord and power master prime allow for bots like starsaber to sit in nicely with the classics shelf.

    the other issue i have is the ever shrinking toy keeps changing the scale of people collection so thats why ive skipped alot of toys since siege started prowls mold only got barricade, classics 2.0 prowl towers over him its funny and sad, some mps are just to big to go in with the classics looking at you MP magnus but the good thing is he will still look good in alt mode or in robot
