Ok, looking for some help from others on this. I have a few motorcycle figures, mostly Arcee sadly since she is one of the few. I want to add others but I want them to look believable as more or less realistic bikes and be similar sizes. I currently have the 07 Arcee concept from the Bay movie in black and purple, the APC toys Arcee from Prime, RotF Arcee and Chromia (forgot the specific series' and I'm not home to check my spreadsheet at the moment but they are not SS).

I'm looking at Reveal the Shield Wreck Gar, I like the look but the reviews are over a decade old and it looks like he might be huge compared to my current bikes.

I'm also considering the Perfect Effect Arcee.

Does anyone have either of these and at least one of the figures I own and can do a comparison of size for me? Also, any other suggestions on good bike figures in the same size range?

My bike figures (minus the purple Arcee).


Edit: Also looking at Oil Slick, so if anyone has him and can compare as well.

Basically, show me your bikes!

 

Well, nobody responded. I ordered 3 bikes. RtS Wreck Gar, Perfect Effect Arcee and animated Oil Slick.

Wreck Gar is the first to arrive and he is a bit larger than I expected. More than I would like but it's not too bad.


Oil Slick should be here tomorrow. Arcee probably a week, it's coming from Taiwan.

 

Well I was gonna say that the SS “Arcee triplets” would scale nicely with all the other vehicles you have pictures there… but they won’t scale with the other bikes you have, so… ?

 

I like that old Wreckgar mold just be careful with the handlebars. They’re known to break off.

There’s also the recent Junkions bike mold which would likely fit scale wise. They’re a few different decos out there for it.

Otherwise I can’t think of other earth mode cycles that are in similar scale.

 

Do you happen to know the full name/model number of the one you are talking about?

 

Crashbar is the OG release. Believe there is a Walmart redeco out there as well.

 

You want realistic bikes, the first ones I thought of were the Laser Cycles from G2. They're older, but they were also repainted several times in the 2000s. Nice eBay listing for the loose complete pair here.

Oil Slick might be even bigger than your RTS Wreck-Gar, not sure.

I guess Scout size is too small? There's the Energon Arcee bike from the mid-2000s that got repainted half a dozen times and is probably easy to get in one deco or another.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about Road Pig (the currently available Crashbar repaint) from the WM capsule… which is nutty because I just got him last week, lol

 

Looking in to him and Road Pig now that both have been mentioned. I'm not one to have multiple colors of the same mold typically so got to consider. I think Road Pig is winning out though. Thank you for the suggestion.

Those G2 ones are too old school for my current tastes, but thank you. I like having masterpiece quality over all or the next best thing I can to that if possible. I started my collection (as an adult) with a G1 Astrotrain, reliving my childhood, and after getting a couple of Masterpiece figures, I just can't do the older figures anymore. lol

I sure hope Oil Slick isn't bigger! At least not more than length, that would kind of suck.. lol

I honestly don't know what sizes mean what in the figures. I have heard the classifications, Leader, Scout, Legends, Legacy, etc, but I can never get them straight. I basically know Masterpiece/MPM and I tend to go for OSKOs on those when I can. As far as the bikes, I'm trying to keep them in the same basic size range. My APC Arcee is the smallest and so far my Wreck Gar is the largest, I am hoping to keep everything between those sizes. I also prefer a bit of complexity to the figure in robot mode. The Arcee you linked isn't quite my thing either but again I thank you for the suggestion.

Ok, so I'm confused about this Road Pig. I see that he just came out this year and he is a Wal-Mart exclusive, but none of the Wal-Marts in my city (it's not a small city) carry it. I can order it from the site, but then have to pay shipping, which is irritating since I remember just a couple of years ago Wal-Mart used to ship to it's own stores for you for free. Anyway, from what I am seeing, he has black tires, but some pictures show him with red tires. Were those early release pics and the actual figure has black ones? Can you give me some measurements of him, mainly in bike mode? Or if you have one of my figures can you show him with them?

Also, can anyone identify this other figure for me?

Edit: Got it, Road Rocket.

 

I think there was also a purple old “Easy Rider” type bike in RiD15 or Cyberverse or something… not very familiar with either show but I can vaguely recall seeing the toy on shelves or pics here. That’s all I know about that one though.

 

Scouts are smaller than Deluxes, but factoring in decreasing sizes over the years, a Scout from twenty years ago might not be too much smaller than a current Deluxe. If you want to take a shot on a Scout, there's also Cybertron Lugnutz.

The RID'15 figure mentioned above is Fracture, who is a Deluxe, but not terribly realistic.

If you like the ROTF Arcee and Chromia bikes, they also did Elita-1 from that mold.

 

I did a search before seeing @Ikkstakk's post below, his name is Fracture, but he is kind of a half cybertronian chopper type, not much my thing but thank you again for the suggestion.

Lugnutz is another I'm going to look in to. I hope that I can find some comparison pictures or video between him and something I can relate with for scale. That's been my other big problem with this motorcycle quest, most of these figures are old and when shown with comparisons, are compared with things I don't have.

I really want an Elita-1, the problem is the SS trio don't look very good to me. The KO of them has amazing paint applications but with the KOs and the originals, two of the three have this really stupid gray shield thing instead of the front fender and that is one of those things that I can't look away from. Otherwise I would have gotten the Aoyi version of the SS because the paint on them is amazing. I ended up getting the RotF versions of Chromia and Arcee as individual figures, which are a little larger but fine, and I very much want an Elita-1, but they didn't make one. What they did was a recolor of Chromia and I don't like recolors (having them on display I mean). That's why I retired my purple 07 Arcee in favor of the black Japanese version.

That's also why I am looking at getting the Road Pig figure and not the Crashbar, I like the colors of Road Pig more and don't life having the same mold repeated.

Once again, thank you for the suggestions. This is the kind of feedback I have been looking for.

 

Ah, what about Combiner Wars Groove (the Deluxe version, not the Legends)?

 

Interesting. I'm not at home right now but I will look in to him more when I get back home. Is he part of the Defensor combiner it self (as in this particular figure).

 

Yes. The deluxe Groove is part of Defensor (forms one of the limbs). And, he was retooled and redeco’d into Technobot Afterbreaker (Afterburner). Afterburner (G1) - Transformers Wiki

 

Got another Chromia from Walmart today. She's not bad in bike, pretty good in robot.

 

Rotf Knockout?

 

Elaborate please, I'm not sure exactly what you are asking.

Edit: OH! I got you now. I had a smooth brain moment and thought you had said Knockoff. My apologies.

 

And come to think of it, DOTM Human Alliance Tailpipe. Both he and the ROTF Knock Out are Scout class, so potentially on the small side. But Tailpipe comes with a partner figure and a driver, so there's that.

 

Fountain of ideas you are!
