    See, that's also kind of stupid. Obviously you had info about the context of these rumours from a Chinese collector forum. That's not "nothing"... that's information that helps explain to the rest of us what's been going on.

    Being oblique and dismissive and hostile/paranoid just makes it seem like "someone" is trying to sweep something under the rug.

    If you're gonna customize him you can't go wrong for the price.

    Was just thinking how I don’t need any of those OS Siege figures being too big as they are, but if they were released in some different colors I’d be interested. In particular I think Hound in Roadbuster’s colors would be awesome.

    That would be awesome. I wouldn't say no to some interesting repaints, that's for sure!

    I find the Hasbro Siege figures are all a bit on the small side, so upscaled might fit into the collection in other ways. They probably won't be expensive, so I'd be willing to buy them just to see how they feel.

    I mean up-sized Sixgun, Flywheels, Impactor, or Ironhide would all be neat additions to my CHUG collection. And an upscaled Megatron, Optimus, Soundwave, Springer, or Shockwave? Pure gold. :D

    Yeah--some of those Siege Deluxes repainted as oversized "other guys" would be pretty cool. Impactor oversized would be a great figure by itself. I'm kinda wondering if I'd get an OS Ratchet to go with my old IGear Ironhide. And I'd take an upsized Springer if he was the same height (even a touch taller I'd deal with) as his T30 version, but I'm not counting on that. On the flip of it, I have no need for a Prime, Megatron or Shockwave that's practically MP height. I already have MP's for those one way or the other

    Yeah, it does depend on HOW oversized they are. I doubt they'd be MP-sized... but to go from small-ish Voyagers to something closer to the old Ultra size class? I'd take that.

    Doesn't look promising, because in the thread for the BMB siege figures there's a pic of Siege Optimus with a ruler. And he's 23+ cm, which makes him the same size as MP-10, thus Masterpiece size. Likewise, deluxe Hound is apparently some 18 cm which makes it larger than an MP carbot.
