    Old, and quite early TF:UK story. The Wrtch of Grimlock. Note the 'artwork and technical errors' section. The production guide wasn't in full circulation round the office.

    Which is more than Hasbro itself
    But what if my kink is kinkshaming others?
    Noone should underestimate the beast that is @orangeitis and his scale obsession. I'm setting up an intervention you want a seat?

    I'm on @orangeitis side with scale. For some reason my brain just doesn't accept mixed scale. It just isn't right for some reason.

    For me, 1:35 is the way. If it can't be done I usually won't bother getting it.

    This post may explain *some* of my scale obsession.

    I'm fine with the beastie boys being regular cybertronian size but I'm not a fan of life-sized alt modes. Other than that, if it feels right it is right

    Only time you'll see me be scale crazy is if they're in scale, not to imaginary robot mode sizes that they were only for like a frame, but to a realistic vehicle scale.

    They do that and I'll make @orangeitis look like Sunbow in regards to scale.

    I do hope you'll get your 3mm-tall Soundwave figure, bud. I really do.

    Why would a jet or truck be 3mm tall though? I dont want a collection at that small a scale.

    Man you’re going to be mad when you can’t deny they stop going by the official scale charts.

    I'm sure you'll get your wonky scale someday I can see it.

    Why do people always assume when I say accurate vehicle scaling I mean G1? I'm more than willing to see new designs with proper alt mode scaling in mind.

    Oh lol, I thought you'd still want Soundwave to be a tape player. My bad.

    I mean, most characters in the TF franchise aren't even on scale charts, so I expect that it's an inevitability. I doubt they'll veer much from 1:35 for most figures though.

    And I've been settling for unscaled figures for 35 years up till Siege. Not sure why you think any more years will bother me that much if that does happen. Disappointed? Yes, very. Mad? Not at all.

    Or have some actual size differences between characters, and use vehicle mass in more creative ways that "vehicle stands up" so we can still have plenty of variety in terms of alt modes.
