    Is it only me or is the new Badcube OTS series getting smaller and smaller.. even smaller than classics deluxe size?
    I want some G1 mini-bots (bee, powerglide, gears and all of their friends) on my CHUG shelf and it looks like the size-wise they will do the job.
    What do you Think?

    They're smaller than a Deluxe in height because Gears was roughly Bumblebee's size, and MP Bee is also shorter than a standard Deluxe. They're not arbitrarily getting smaller.

    Agreed. They're pretty much perfectly sized. See the pic from skullfaces review:

    If you want a chug/scales with voyagers/scout sized figures of Swerve and Gears; there is always the MakeToys MangaMech IDW figures :)

    Yep! Pretty amazing figures.

    Pretty much completely spot on; like the walked out of the comic.

    Agreed. MT Mangamech are amazing. They are IDW though so may not fit a "pure G1" collection. But OP's collecting CHUG and they're all pretty off toon with the design aren't they?

    Yeah, while I'm not sold on their versions of Brawn or Huffer at all, they DID perfectly nail the scale of everyone. I especially love the height variations between all of them.

    If it were up to me, all of them (including MP Bumblebee) would be 10-20% bigger. Not that there's anything wrong with this scale, just how I'd personally prefer them to scale with the rest of the MP line.

    That's why, to my opinion, they can be on a CHUG shelf...
    I have ToyWorld's Bii on my CHUG shelf and it is magnificent in scale and as a transformer.

    I use "MP" Bee with my Generations stuff because it sizes (not scales) perfectly with them and we are unlikely to ever get a Bee that G1 and poseable again.

    Grump and co are fine in that context.....I just don't want them.
