    I've been content with using the smaller rid Arcee in my tfp collection. But with the new apc Airachid coming, I suspect that the FE Arcee will scale better with her. Showzstore says they're the same height. And I think they were almost the same in the show.

    I'm probably gonna stick with my custom RID one, I prefer the proportions/sculpt on her, it may not be accurate but I don't mind my cons being overall bigger than the bots

    APC did not oversize their Optimus. Only OS figures are Soundwave and Megs

    My mistake, I thought they had.

    And that Soundwave is oversized? Geez, the original must have been tiny.

    I should clarify that his arm blades are blue, the Star Saber is silver with a grey hilt/cross guard and some copper paint detailing in the veining. Guns are black, oddly

    Aaaaand, in stock at ShowZ

    Bummer, I was hoping the reverse with the Star Saber "turned on" as it were.

    Why yes, I am quite peculiar on how 3rd party accessories look.

    See for yourself in the quoted post below. It's not nearly as drastic as Deluxe FE Megatron to APC Megatron really.

    So yeah...the original Soundwave was tiny, considering I find the APC version too small.

    I think APC has (so far) missed the opportunity to make an MP sized version of this Optimus mould. I would buy it nearly instantly, and Im fairly certain I would not be the only person interested in it. HINT HINT APC :) 

    Seriously, does anyone know how to contact APC to put a bug in their ear?

    Message user AbbytheCat. He is the rep for ShowZ Store and has said in the past that APC is very open to suggestions. He might be able to help you.

    If they do do MP scale, please not at the expense of what they're doing. It's refreshing to have a 3p doing figs at a scale I collect. Most of them seem to be either MP or Legends.

    Generations scale 3p and KO's are extremely welcome

    Most other 3p and KO's are either Legends, Undersized or MP and Oversized

    Chug scale is extremely welcome and very underrepresented, despite being the scale that kinda started it all

    Yeah, I don't want them to stop what they are currently doing by any means. I just want my favorite Optimus design as a transforming MP scale figure. I'm confident they can do it as maybe a one off, or maybe some other 4th party would pick it up

    I'd totally be down for an MP scale Soundwave too. That would be sick.

    Shockwave has been moving up my list of figs I'd like APC to do as getting the BH version proves quite tricky these days for less crazy prices. He's probably my fave version of Shockwave as a character so would be great to have him.

    Thought I'd try and stick an Autobot sticker from reprolables on the grill for my APC Optimus, and as you can see it manages to fit IMG_20220513_220845.jpg

    Absolutely agreeing on that.

    Every of my 3th/4th party figures I have were all selected completely on how they would fit with my mainline generations figures.

    Lots are larger that some would call masterpiece scale, but for me, the ones I have such as the Titan sized combiners work perfectly as those should be larger and the individuals are voyager (or a bit larger) sized which makes them stand out as being massive and the alts work great for it.
