    He is about Masterpiece Shocky height and has impressive quality and detalisation.

    Yeah, 27 cm.

    Yep, I've messed with the old potato, it's not bad.
    27cm is around 10.5 inches. I'll try to find some reference pics to see if that's big enough. PX usually makes figures in the CHUG pocket.

    Looks like it's their test shot in MP.

    He is the same height as Fans Toys FT-08 Grinder, comparing to another Fans Toys MP dinobot:

    Thanks for the pic. He's definitely a beefy figure.

    Where did the idea of the Headmasters (main robot) being so large come from? I don't like them being that big. I've never seen Headmasters (the cartoon), but in Rebirth they were the same size as the guys that held Targetmasters (Blurr, Hot Rod etc). Are there any Headmasters (Titan Masters maybe?) that look like the cartoon but are the size of Fans Toys Hoodlum/ Hot Rod? I think Titans Return Cerbros is pretty close to perfect Masterpiece size (to me anyway). I imagine he shrinks down so that human Spike can become his head.

    There are official and fan-made charts, but in the end, scale varies by episode and continuity and it can be very frustrating. Just go with what works for you. I think there were some upsized Titans Returns that people have used for MP along with FansProject.
    This official chart does show the Headmasters around Optimus/Rodimus height.

    Never bought a 3rd Party MP stand-in before so I thought I'd give it a shot. Any recommendations for a good Trailbreaker?

    Ooooooooooooh I just looked up pictures of him. He does look great. Thanks!

    Also when I was searching for him I came across X-Transbots' Kup who also looks astonishing. Anyone else know of other Kups in this market?

    G1 stuff is primarily XTB and FT.

    XTB's Locke v1 was a mess. Long story, but everyone is getting a free v2. Reports on v2 are currently decent. It's been out a week or so.

    FT's is called Koot. Personally I prefer the aesthetic of XTB's. If you scan the first post in this thread it'll show you each available option with links to the threads if they exist

    The Diamond versions appear to be the original Diaclone colors rather than real world racing liveries.

    X-Transbots Fioravanti, Midas & Yaguchi - G1 Omnibots: AT LAST!! Is the source, so thank @Chareos .

    You'll need a race car guy to figure out the rest. Not sure if they are all "real world" racing colors.

    Can't find the photo from that thread, but the car is this one. I know I saw someone else post this (or another similar shot of it).
