    Wonder if in combined mode, this thing is the same size as City Commander? If so, this may kill my desire of ever owning Shadow Commander.

    I can't imagine. The only height he's getting is from the boots, and even then it's deluxe --> ~voyager, vs. voyager --> ~ultra with the Commander armors.

    "Scourge TRANSFORM!.... FURY MODE!" That is all... I'm so happy I got RTS Prime now. Now I must paint him in the obvious Black and Teal paint job we all know and love. (Or loathe because Nemesis Prime over standardized the color scheme asshole.....)

    Yeah, not even close to City Commander height. Those leg add-ons don't look like they would increase his height by much.

    Guess I should post Encline's preveiw here, huh? He does talk about the height a bit (don't think he actually says anything to clear anything up though):

    Encline should have put that Prime next to a pen. Then we would be able to know how tall he is.

    I'm gonna wait on Hasbro to have a chance to give me this repaint and have it properly named "SCOURGE". Either that can happen, or I'll end up doing like yourself and create a custom on my own.

    This sucks. I can't even find as decent priced RTS G2 prime around and now they have this tempting looking trailer...

    He's shorter than that beer bottle in the video... so basically the Deluxe becomes Voyager-ish height.

    I feel that it is too small even with the add on

    Really? It looks like he'll be about the height of the original Laser Prime toy... were you looking for an ultra size? Bc, that's above voyager, and I think that'd be a bit large to go along with classics... but, who knows, maybe it could work?

    My biggest thing is those proportions... man, those hands are pretty fucked up looking.

    I really do like almost everything about this set, just not enough to justify dropping the dollars for it.

    Yep, that's what I day too.... Hockey gloves... Bleh.

    I feel the same way. I'm waiting for the Nemesis/Scourge repaint. I'd buy two even.

    Maketoy likes to make their toys into sports players. Giant has "football shoulder pads" and this has "hockey gloves."
