    I don't know, but it's certainly difficult to read on a grey background.

    It's gonna be tough to match, but you might want to consider a metallic sharpie. You could try silver with red over it, or just metallic red (depends what you have available by you). If it's just small spots, a sharpie will at least help hide the chips at a glance

    I don't have anything. I'm willing to grab something, but I'm not sure what colour to chase down. And yeah, the spots are decently small, and I'm not super anal about it. If I can just make it look better at a glance i'm happy.

    This would probably be a good set to use. Maybe test it on the broken pieces first to see how it looks.

    It's closer. It's a little bit smaller than Winged Dragon, when it should be about a head taller.

    Like, if it were taller than Winged Dragon, but not tall ENOUGH, I'd probably be fine with it. But the fact it's shorter when it should be taller kinda messes me up a bit.

    That’s odd I always thought TM2 Megs was bigger than Optimal Optimus…I never noticed one was taller while watching the show. I think I could live with it

    Oh, totally fair. TM2 Megatron was only around a few episodes, and there weren't really many scenes of them side-by-side. In a basic battle pose, with knees bent, the height difference isn't gonna matter.

    BUT, I really like doing various setups, and I just know that for my purposes, if they did release a more in-scale figure down the line, I'm gonna end up wishing I got that instead. I can't really afford to keep buying figures over and over, so I'm going to just wait until they release one in the right scale.

    If I had unlimited budget, I'd just buy it. If I was more impatient, I'd just buy it. But I got lots of patience for these things, and I'd rather just wait till it's done right.

    To me is not only about size, but also something that looks right next to Winged Dragon.

    Anyone have a close contact with these guys and can ask when they plan to have tiger hawk ready? I finally bought winged dragon but I want the tiger hawk they teased they were working on.

    I have them posed next to each other and Beast Gorira is about one head shorter than Winged Dragon. The upcoming OS KO is a head and a half taller than the PE original.

    Should be the same height as winged dragon or a sliver taller.

    Interesting. I have my PE Optimal and Cryotek on top of old cell phone boxes to give them about a 2 inch lift to match Winged Dragon. I think you have yours posed with bent knees though 69CBA872-C73E-4F6F-830F-FA674B1EDDAE.jpeg

    I’m willing to bet that this new Leader Class Dragon Megatron is going to be too small to scale with the rest of the line. Because of the wings, it’s going to be roughly the size of Leader Astrotrain. It will be shorter than Kingdom Megatron. How do I know this? Its $50……
