    Definitely too small for my tastes. Also, I hate that Hasbro cannot make Tank figures with matching arms.

    I'm sorry, but anyone passing this guy up just because he's a deluxe....I think your decision is just silly. IMO arguements of scale are one of the lamest things in this fandom and go right up there with robo-sex discussion. All you're doing is cutting yourself off from a really good toy and a great representation of the craziest TF leader in history based on his size as a toy.

    He can kick the crap out of my Classics Hot Rod and he's one heck of a fun toy to play with. Classics Galvy = Total Win

    I almost passed him up since the ones I've encountered before are a floppy mess.

    The one I bought was also loose and floppy, but I ended up fixing most of that with super glue in all the right places. It is still a pain to stand.

    The pics seem to show him just a bit taller than Classics Rodimus, but shorter than Titanium Rodimus Prime.

    Sounds fair to me!

    Got mine yesterday...nice toy, transformation in satisfying for a deluxe.

    From far he looks bad ass

    However, the close-up pic of his face just screams - "Out of my way! I really need to GO!" :D  Yup, he looks like he can't hold his crap any longer....

    One more thing i like to note....he is pop-former. I dropped him once, alot of his parts just pop out. No breakage, just alot of joints like to detach itself at the slightest opportunity..

    yah know, when i look at him like that, by himself, it just seems like he was DESIGNED to be a bigger size class then deluxe. with nothing there for scale in your pix, if you told me he was a Voyager, i'd totally believe it.

    See that exact pic has made be reconsider passing on him. I prefer a slightly smaller TF, doesnt take up as much space.

    I'm positive those "feet" on his backback are meant to emulate his G1 shoulder pads. Sure they're farther back, but otherwise in the same place. They even have the same detailing.

    that is possible.

    but what about the flip-out hook on his left shoulder?
