    Why? MMC obviously doesn't agree.
    I wish this time at least first aid and blade could be tall (they should as they have bigger alt mode), so placing FT limbots next to them won't look stupid.

    So 2 different figures of different scale can be comparable to each other?

    How is Fuzz in scale with any CHUG figures ? He's in scale with MP Carbots...

    So are they fake wheels on his torso? My first thought is they looked way to small compared to the alt mode render we have seen before the idea of fake wheels occurred to me. People were thinking MMC's First Aid alt mode was too small and if those wheels were right (given XTB's smaller robot modes) then it would be way smaller.

    I'm also surprised (I realize I shouldn't have been given their Streetwise, but I am) how complicated First Aid looks like he will be with that many moving pieces. He doesn't even need to try and fit the combiner hand in there which should in theory make it simpler than MMC's.

    I just feel like using that example just rewards Hasbro for moving the goal post shrinking figures over time as they increase prices.

    I do wonder if people who wanted bigger combiners might be comparing to an OS KO CW figure which would be closer. It wouldn't be the same thing, but I could see people doing it.

    That is Takara's fault for making the carbots undersized for MP.

    Looks nice. Glad XTB nailed the right van. Bit of a shame it'll be significantly smaller than Ironhide when it should be slightly bigger, but that's the scale crimes of combiners for ya! :)

    We already have combined mode renders. Not the most accurate measurement, but if you have XTB Menasor (or any same sized combiner) and wave your Ironhide around the arm, then look at the Defensor renders, you can see First Aid's van mode is quite a bit smaller than Ironhide.

    To me combiner bots should be taller than the carbots. Fanstoys Aerialbots and Stunticons, and the MMC Combaticons got it right.

    Though I wouldn't mind if the carbots were a bit taller as well, I am not a slave to the cartoon and its size discrepancies. Seeing Prowl next to Optimus Prime is just sad.
