She looks amazing. Definitely too big to scale with anything, but I’ll probably get her anyways. She will go well with my transcraft bee possibly. I do wish metagate would focus on one thing going forward though.

 

I'm pretty sure zeta blitzwing, zeta bumblebee, ce01 bumblebee, mm01 Optimus, dlx bumblebee and yolopark Optimus model kit all scale well with this shatter. If any of these are figures that you have or plan on getting, you could have a scale accurate collection potentially? As for moms though, definitely not, she's about as tall as mpm prime himself lol

 

What’s that, You want a Masterpiece Energon hotshot? We’re on it!

 

(Spoiler: that's DLX scale)



So turns out Shatter and Blitzwing aren't the same height. I based it of Toyworld Shatter which is 3̶0̶c̶m̶. Okay I am not sure where I got 30 cm from. TW one is 24 cm.
So it is DLX scale.

Based on Studio Series turns out Shatter isn't as tall as Blitzwing.
So turns out it's scales correctly

(say what you will about using SS as comparison, their the bot mode is scaled to each others)

 

Mostly. Some of the SS figures scale is pretty off. Apparently shatter is pretty large.

 

Oh god this is why you double check, I thought she is as tall as Blitzwing.

 

The worst part about not having scale charts released like TF1 and ROTF I guess is that its hard to 100% tell how they scale with one and other, because it seems like Arcee was more so 17 feet and not 15.7 feet or Ironhide and Ratchet being 20 feet for example for example. But yeah the SS figures aren't 100% accurate scale wise like the film.

Using @Steampunk13 's chart Shatter should be to Blitzwing/the Seekers cockpit or something like that I guess.

 

I actually recently had to change up my Bee movie scale chart. Turns out the guy who originally placed Bee at 15 feet had it wrong. He was 14 feet. Gonna post the updated height estimations soon. That chart is outdated regardless though. I had Blitzwing, Prime, Soundwave, Shockwave, etc all way too big. Each one was only a few feet taller than Shatter in the film. Only about a head taller than her.

 

I should have said “she doesn’t scale with anything I have”.

 

Hehe yeah I realized afterwards but I had fun writing that so I left it

Yeah I was just throwing up suggestions in case you wanted to find some bots that do scale

 

Actually her plane mode in the movie is properly undersized. Same for Dropkicks heli mode. They talk about it in some of the concept art IIRc. Probably the only time I’ve seen altmodes scaled to fit the bot, rather then them mass shifting to the right size

 

I wish they’d actually say something about this type of stuff in the films. It’s cool and has neat lore implications so exploring it in like a brief passing conversation would be awesome in my opinion. Or like a scene where they spot a bot because the vehicle size is all wrong. Kind of like when Eps noticed ROTF Screamer’s tattoos.

Also, something to note, Blitzwing’s alt also seemed to be downscaled to fit his robot size as well. So it seems like 20 foot non mass shifting jetformers will be a norm for this series of films.

 

I hope she’s looking pretty well with my dropkick os, I won’t buy another one

 

She looks amazing. I ended up skipping on their Drift but I have to pick this one up, I absolutely loved Shatter and Dropkick

Is your TE Optimus mistransformed in the midsection?

 

That TE-01 midsection though… holy mistransformation Batman!  

 

To be honest I can forgive the undersizing of the flight modes to make the bot and car modes the right sizes. An in-universe excuse I can think of of why they would do this is that when they're actually in the air people on the ground would not be able to tell if they're the right size or not. So it wouldn't matter much that they are scaled down compared to the actual aircrafts they're disguising as.

 

Yeah, depends on your taste.

 

How can we presuade MetaGate to put a voice chip with Angela Bassett's lines from the movie inside Shatter's head?  

 

It's easy just fill out this form and Hasbro's lawyer gonna set the rest up

 

 

but yeah on a serious note, TW had both their optimus prime's with lines straight from the movie, Hasbro did nothing. XTB has been adding electronics using audio from the g1 cartoon, Hasbro has done nothing. They don't really seem to care.

Personally don’t want or need them in this figure, but I wouldn’t say it’s a legal thing restricting it.
