    Where were all these upsizers when i was clinging to the old MP/ Alternators scale by a thread lol.

    They look great. Would have loved these 8 years ago.

    Much appreciated. It looks like they didn't get it all the way up to 1:48 scale but it may be close enough that 1:48 decals and deco may work.

    MP-03 colours don't represent Starscream well, but MP-06 and MP-07 still represent the other two Seekers as a character quite consistently. Hence, a gray F-15 with some Starscream colours underneath may work.

    Any chance of seeing one of these guys next to a Fanstoys Dibot or MP Ultra Magnus. I'm guessing they're smaller than Magnus but not by much?

    I Always hoped someone would do that. I think it was the big mistake by iGear to give us regular G1 colours, since there was already a G1 accurate deco in Walscream, while the more common realistic grey colours would've gone better with the TT versions.


    Thank you.

    So, this Robot Hero version is about 43 cm long in jetmode. Wikipedia lists a F-15 as being 1943 cm. That makes this one 1:45 scale.

    That's just a tiny bit too big for my taste. I really wanted 1:48 to go with my BT/alt collection, but I also really wanted it to be the MP-03/iGear mould since it's slightly more accurate to an actual F-15 (mostly the lower legs).

    Still, I think I'm going to get the greenscream version. Little painting and he'll do.

    I've got Robot Heroes Starscream on order from Toybento.com. Can't wait! Does anyone know if there are threads for the other released and upcoming Oversized Transformers?

    Ha ha, don't blame you. Awesome anyway, thanks again!

    Already made the decision to order the Walmart deco version based on these pics. Should be with me in about 10 days. :)

    Edit: Sorry I don't know why the pictures are not up-down. They were correct when I dragged them to the post. ???

    I was watching Ben's review for the Robot Hero Starscream earlier today. Today's ebay flash sale made it easier for me to get it from Baba..12.
    Glad to get it. I have to figure out where to display once it arrives.

    Benscollectables review of the Tanaka OS Starscream, including a comparison with the Robot Hero SS (which is, surprisingly, a bit taller):

    I've held off for that very comparison. Glad I did. So the better looking one (IMO) is also the larger. Awesome. BUT, how awesome would it be if one of these was the more popular car scale of 1:28th?
