Where would you display FP warbots? With Masterpieces or Classics?

    Just wondering where in your display area would you put the Fansproject Warbots Defender, Steel Core, and Assaulter? I noticed they are kind of small so I am not sure if they should go with classics/generations or with the Masterpieces figures. Anyone has a pic of MP 12 Sideswipe side by side with Defender, Steel Core, or Assaulter? I do put the TFC not constructions with my Masterpieces but I am not 100% sure if the FP warbots would look size proportionate with them. If anyone can help me with a size comparison pic with MP Sideswipe would be appreciated.

    Classics. They don't fit MP. To be with MP they'd have to look exactly like G1, which they don't.

    Classics. If I had them. They're too small to fit with MP-10

    This is where I stand. They're undeniably Classics for me. Masterpiece implies the Alpha and Omega of their G1 forms, which 3P simply isn't. They're great as Classics though!

    even i am not going to try to put city commander or protector with a mixed mp collection.

    the rest, including defender and assaulter, i think would work in a mixed mp/classics/third party lineup, but im in no need of forcing them together because of this display. defender is about classics prowl height.

    id prefer delicate warrior for a mixed mp collection though.

    Not sure if "small" is how I would describe Assaulter, hah!

    I actually think steel core looks nice with mp sideswipe and prime, the only other transformers I have out on my shelf right now.

    He also looks good with the wfc/foc stuff

    classics 100%, too small with the mps, and none are accurate enough to be mps in the first place

    General consensus, Classics. No better spot.

    Thanks for your opinions, it is just that my display consists of mostly Masterpieces (with MP 1 and MP 5 on another display area because of their size difference) while MP 10 looks great with Grimlock, Rodimus, Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and the TFC Hercules not constructions seem to share a good scale, but the FP Warbots I thought they could fit with the same scale but once I had them with me I noticed just how small they actually were, that's why I was asking for opinions here. Does anyone have a picture of MP 12 Sideswipe next to any of the FP Warbots? I really want to see how they scale to MP Sideswipe.

    Now would you display the binaltech/alternators with the Masterpieces? Yes or no and why?

    The aesthetics don't match AT ALL, but since you already have Hercules on display with those figures, I guess that doesn't bother you.

    Assaulter is the largest of the trio and he is way too small for MPs, scale wise.

    besides I the makers aim these at folks who like the CLassics line anyway.

    Scale & aesthetics dictate they belong with Classics.
