    He's definitely on the taller end. It's not even close. He's about a head shorter than Commander Rodimus :)

    Hmm, that's rough, though it's only slightly taller than Ironhide. Might have to think about it further, but it's close enough I can probably fudge it seeing as any 3P alternatives are likely either Legends or even bigger.

    I can't deal with Moon Knight it seems. Stephen isn't as funny as they wanna believe and every time it looks like you'll get an action scene he ruins it. Same with the crowbarred comedy.

    It's fucking bad when Terminator: Dark Fate is starting to look appealing.

    Courtesy of one of our resident Rammstein Feuerpitter @Napalm's comparison pic with G1, I realised that Legacy Kickback was missing a wee bit of sticker detail colouring in his chest app, so I fixed it:
    DSC_0138.jpeg
    For the less OCD it's the short red stripe between his blue/blue green vent patch and the top gold square.
    I was actually rather impressed that I didn't have to paint the upper gold square, as quite literally on reflection because as I was scoping it out it caught the light and I realised that they actually had done a wee gold app in there, and it wasn't just the silver undercoat of the base clear yellow but, no, really, that's got extra gold on it. Clearly they ran out of budget for just the red!

    Then I thought there's no way TR has the same detail I can paint to match, then I got the figure out, and, boy, was I WRONG-O!
    DSC_0137.jpeg DSC_0139.jpeg
    So that's supercharged AND "Starvation Mode" Kickers properly apped up matchingly!

    Also kept forgetting to post that this wee utensil arrived the same time as Sludge, along with a couple of other bits...

    ...so I'm waitng for a BW OG Toy Colours Paleotrex to be announced any minute now! :lol

    Whoops, doesn't help me with saying SS for Starscream not Studio Series....:confused: 

    No idea on Armada Thrust or anything these days really.

    Looking forward to some W3 reveals, hoping we see a nice display at SDCC this year. :)

    @Q Prime - these are Siege 'hide & 'swipe, but hopefully useful. Scale works for me, mainly because Drift is on another shelf from these two :D  but he's definitely CHUG scale not SEKL scale!

    He is taller than Sideswipe I’m pretty sure, but not where it’s outside of variation. I just sold off Lugnut and Lockdown where the cars taller than the bomber….. scale is never constant lol

    They could still display together well I feel, Drift wasn’t especially short in the comics I recall

    Has anyone had any luck with claims for damages against the Royal Mail? I sent something to a fine member of this board that's arrived damaged, and I wrapped it in bubble wrap, in a duct taped box but he arrived as if he had a run in with Movieverse Prime…

    It was sent out first class recorded delivery but I couldn't put an exact value on it when they asked me and I have a feeling that’s going to bite me in the ass for not just making a number up when I sent it

    You might be able to get an Armada Thrust out of the Needlenose mold oddly enough. I say oddly enough because Armada Thrust was one of my few hopes for getting any sort of attempt at Needlenose. Until yesterday.

    How well do the cw guys connect? Any modding needed? How poseable and stable with them on? I always said if mm was cw compatible, I'd get him.

    Still crazy to think this is the only official g1 drift we've ever got excluding the furai model kit.
