    How high Prime and Spike are will really depend on how much and which drugs they are taking.

    The trailer is pretty big (bigger than MP Rodimus') and more involved with the various stations, repair bay, and Roller. It's probably worth almost as much (or as much) as Convoy himself between this and the large size.

    These are all questions we know the answers to.

    Optimus is as tall as MP Rodimus Prime.

    Spike is 40mm tall (this comes from Generations 2011 Volume 2) or 1.57 inches. This is smaller than the HA figures.

    Yes (within a few millimeters I imagine).

    Pretty sure Roddy is pure straight-edge.

    Dude was kind of a downer in that regard and wasn't invited to a lot of the autobot parties that Blaster and Jazz used to throw.

    That's racist!

    Blurr was clearly on meth. Magnus was on roids. Kup was a drunk. Grimlock was on mushrooms.

    I'd say Blurr had more of a coke problem than meth.

    Wheelie & Beachcomber clearly preferred the ganja.

    Shockwave seemed like he could be a drinker constantly muttering "f*ck my life" in the depths of Cybertron. So bored... so lonely.

    Haha, and they were all invited. Heck, I'm pretty sure Prime was down for a couple brews after a hard day of bustin' deceptichops. Though, I'm think he wasn't much of a music fan.

    (Also, for a minute I was totally lost on the racist thing, totally forgot how Blaster used to talk.)

    this thread still shows that people don't understand how takaratomy works

    Convoy will sell gangbusters in japan, he will sell better than any other masterpiece they make. Takaratomy will use that money made from convoy to make new masterpeices, so it will be all good.

    if you compare his price to that of rodimus, you will see the price is warranted

    Maybe because TRU don't want a Prime that costs more than $60 unless it combines with a trailer and has electronics.





    Or maybe they do. Who knows.

    Why does everyone throw around TRU as the only place that MPs will go? I know that the last two have gone to TRU but why should we think that that's the only place a new one will go?

    Besides, TRU is barely hanging on as a major player in the toy biz last I checked.

    Well, between TRU and Wal-Mart, TRU has gotten the last two MPs, and seemingly done fairly well with them. Last time Wal-Mart had an MP, Skywarp, it failed miserably for them (although that was pretty much entirely their fault, with terrible distribution, over-flooding the market 10x over in some areas, with practically nothing in others).

    I'm not so sure that all this speculation of MP 11 being a seeker redo is true. especially if its an F14. I think someone was confused by a proto for the SDCC skystriker (an F14 in starscream colours). By size alone it could be mistaken for a masterpiece.

    22 cm in Hot Rod mode, just under 23 cm in Rodimus mode.

    kinda curious if they thought out making this thing modular enough to do Ultra Magnus and Power Master Prime out of ~ that's one design that IMHO is begging for an upgrade (cool design, woefully bad toy, bricktastic even by G1 standards)
