    Do you know the size/scale that x transbots have ultimately decided for their dr. Egg? (Their representation of a masterpiece quint judge)?

    Oh yes...
    The egg body seems to be the size of a car bot. But standing on energy beems....it looks bigger than a car bot. (So i guess it seems that x transbots went for the giant version of quint judges.).

    Darn....

    Can't say they are wrong though. Because their are many scenes that depict judges in this gigantic scale. Price is likely going to be higher though..... on account of big size....
    I hope x transbots considers giving fans the option of a smaller version as well. (Which in turn would be cheaper too....as well as faithful to scale of many g1 cartoon representations).

    I've seen this picture like a dozen times and just noticed...what the heck is "Babyside" in the front? I can't see it well enough to place that one.

    Excellent point and observation.

    I also just now noticed this tiny guy....

    Facinating....

    I wonder how their executioner scales?

    ....maybe he's a tiny Sideswipe? Also, that's one big Quintesson. I was hoping he'd be smaller, but this works too.

    My opinion of how scales of quint team should be....(or how i would like them to be).

    My source is chiefly focused on the movie scales....where all of these guys are first introduced....(with exception of the scientist and the other more obscure quints). My opinion is certainly subject to change based on further study on the rest of season 3 and on opinions of other fans who know their g1 transformer cartoons.

    The scientist is the smallest. Next in size comes the prosecuter, and next comes the judge. (But these 3 should or could be roughly the same in scales). Then comes the tall but skinny executioner and then the tall and bulky bailiff. And finally, at the biggest should be the sharkticons and alicons.
    (But if one goes by the gigantic scales....then the gigantic judges are at the top in size....being bigger than even sharkticons). The 5 faces of darkness is the most contradictionary source for scale. In one scene, we see spike (without his suit!), tackle a quint judge and take him hostage by gun point. This emphasizes how weak, small, and fragile quint judges are. But in another scene, a giant quint judge allmost the size of galvatron takes a slam to the ground by galvatron.....and later also a check. Later on quint judge deliberati even gets a punch by galvatron......which only dazes him! Khsejyu.jpg

    It’s maybe a little large but I don’t mind. I want it tall enough to be noticeable when standing behind an army of Sharkticons and Alicons. This does that.
    Never really saw them as small as a minibot.

    Smaller is better, might actually be bothered to include them on a Movie-focused display shelf vs skipping them.

    A picture of Dr Egg with Andras and Eligos would probably help judging that. I chose them because XTB is unlikely to show with competing companies figures. I guess Locke would be good too if they have it on hand (we did see a prototype of that finally didn't we?)

    Whoever mentioned using magnets to get it to float is a genius. Was that a genuine suggestion? Would love to see that

    it was a genuine idea, but I was prepared to act like I was joking if it was shot down as stupid, lol.

    I was wondering the same thing. What is babyside? Kind of reminds me of Metroplex's black car, was it called scamper?
