    Thanks, it was fun to build.. I am planning a new trailer if ever I get a proper scaled Prime to display with that will become the armoury and the jetpack.
    Plans are there but I need a good Prime first.

    He looks to be a little to big for Studio Series in vehicle mode and to little in robotmode.

    I would have loved if a company made a OS Ratchet to get him to the size of the HFTD Ratchet (carmode is perfect scale)
    But since they wont I am building one myself.

    I wish they would downscale their Brawl around this size honestly.

    I actually would prefer if they just made him a notch bigger. this one is 19 cm and altrough it looks great in botmode, the vehicle is just a little to small still. We need the truck to be around the 22 cm mark to work. and the trailer actually needs an extra pannel in lenght and needs to be taller. the proportions are off.. but that is just my opinnion.. a bigger truck would be a win anyway you put it. so I agree with you.

    I always liked this KO but hated that he didn't have 5mm hands, and to make matters worse, he didn't come with a gun. Happy to say, the OS PotP dinobot weapons all fit in his hands perfectly. The guns don't particularly look screen accurate or anything, but they have enough detail on them that they don't look out of place with a movie figure. I like em :)

    This title needs changing as the toy in question is OVERSIZE not UNDERSIZED.
    I've had him for a long time, he's really good the metal in him makes him feel very quality - he's also a better size match to previous Voyagers as the actual Hasbro ones were a bit shrunk. If they ever repaint it I'd buy it again. I really like it.
