    Not necessarily, there are 4 cards (Wave 4 Blackarachnia, Wave 4 Optimus Prime, Wave 4 Megatron, and Unicron) in this wave just like the past waves. The problem is the only new toys are Shadow Panther, Waspinator, and Tigatron (the rest of the deluxes/voyager are repacks) and, Rodimus Prime and The Ark can apparently come with any wave.


    The following images are not to scale with one another as I have no idea what the distance was and, there is some obvious foreshortening and forced perspective involved.

    The C3 Corvette (1967 - 1982) was a long, lanky, narrow vehicle.

    [​IMG]

    The Lamborghini Countach (1974 - 1990) was pretty wide:

    [​IMG]

    The Datsun 280ZX was similar to the C3 Corvette (this the most comparable angle I could find):

    [​IMG]


    Actual sizes (I'm using 1982 for everything to simplify things and all measurements are at the largest point):

    1982 Chevrolet Corvette

    L 185.3 in (4,707 mm)
    W 69.0 in (1,753 mm)
    H 48.1 in (1221.74 mm)

    *Wheelbase 98.0 in (2489.2 mm)

    1982 Lamborghini Countach

    L 162.99 in (4,140 mm)
    W 74.41 in (1,890 mm)
    H 42.13 in (1,070 mm)

    *Wheelbase 96.46 in (2450 mm)

    Nissan S130 (280ZX, Fairlady Z, Fairlady 280Z)

    L 174.0 in (4,420 mm) 2-seater
    W 66.5 in (1,690 mm)
    H 51.0 in (1,295 mm) 2-seater

    *Wheelbase 91.30 in (2319 mm)

    *Wheel Base:

    For those that do not know, the wheelbase is the side profile's distance between the center of the front wheel and the center of the rear wheel.

    Scale:

    Siege/Earthrise/Kingdom were scaled to the robots and not the vehicles. That having been said, out of those 3 toys, Tracks is the closest to the actual vehicle *edit*(optically, I haven't measured anything)*/edit*. The robot mode is why Earthrise Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen/Silverstreak are a bit wider than they should be as well as why Earthrise Sideswipe /Red Alert are longer than they should be. Sidswipe/Red Alert are also somewhat stylized when it comes to the rear half of the vehicle.

    I'm honestly shocked the vehicle mode scale is even remotely as close as it is.


    *edit* I wish I still had all my 1:24 and 1:18 die-cast vehicles as I could have shown everyone what all 3 vehicles look like from the same angles.*/edit*

    I saw Tracks at Walmart today, hopefully Rhinox and Scorp arent far behind. I've been saving up to nab them.
