    That's what I'm planning to do. I have the MS Radiatron set and they're going to stay in combiner mode. Going to keep the MPG Trainbots as individuals.

    I rather sacrifice the robot height and combiner height. For me most of my figures are displayed in alt mode. It's a false assumption that people don't care about alt mode scale at all. I understand that they're not producing it for me so I try to mix and match scales on my own to make things at least closer to being realistic even though I don't have much of a choice to make compromises unfortunately but I still wish for something better that fulfills my desires.

    never said people did not care a out altmode scale. but i am stating what TT has set as a priority ever sense mp09 rodimus prime is bot mode

    also altmode scale goes out the window with every other combiner team that is not raiden and maybe menasor but motormaster has his own can of worms

    What a fantastic figure. This is my ideal TF aesthetic really. Bring on the rest!

    My set will probably spend most of their time in bot mode but will be displayed in all 3 modes at varying times. I’m sure Raiden will end up having plenty of display time of his own. It’s the best part of this team, they look great in all modes (assuming Raiden looks as good as the bots in the end).

    It looks really clunky and jumbled.  Maybe it will look better if it was painted?  Wouldn\'t it be funny if they put a small figure in one of them next to the window with a surprised look on their face.  LOL

    They are in HO scale in train mode (1:87). If they were in MP scale (1:30 something ish) they would be so massive no one will be willing to pay for them.

    Both are home runs imo. Also, any chance someone in japan can help out with the survey? I would like to participate but I don't have a VPN

    Yup all 3 modes seem to be looking good for this set. It's a nice problem to have

    I just transformed Getsuei. Just like Shouki, easy to handle and not prone to easy breaking. It’s another fun figure with sturdy plastic. Well done.

    I love that live action moving part feeling for dinamic poses (it's all super-stable)
