Latest Transformers Animated figures release info

Oh, I'm not complaining (except about the gigantic bikes). Given the limitations of the interiors, I don't see how they could be any better (except maybe in the likeness department).

(I too wanted to use a parenthetical expression)

Those are not anywhere near close. I expected human figures that are boxed along with robot figures to be IN THE SAME DAMN SCALE. I don't think that's too much to ask.

The humans are 1/28 scale, and apparently the robits are around 1/26, thought it may change from figure to figure. I call that unacceptable. That sam looks ridiculous standing next to that car. What is he, a midget? It's off putting to me. I just wish hasbro would take the extra step and say, hey lets keep toys that are supposed to go together, and will be sold together, the same mother fucking scale. Of course, I've been so disgusted with them and toy companies in general, I haven't bought one in quite a long time. So I'm part of the solution!

Well there ARE engineering limitations, man.

Wow. I don't get this. At all. Like Lee, the motorcycles bug me. But... come on. If the figure's close enough to fit in the vehicle and look like it more or less belongs there, I'm good. What are you trying to do, reshoot the film so it doesn't suck, but the toys are out of scale with each other so you can't?

Obviously, to me, the figures don't look like they belong there. That's the problem. Just because they fit into the car doesn't please me, so would a marble, I'm not going to draw a face on one and call it Sam. These figures posed next to the car modes look absolutely ridiculous and stupid. That's my issue. It's not even close, in my eyes.

But obviously, I have very serious scale issues when it comes to toys, and that's why I'm not a Transformers fan in general lol.

I'm wondering how big would Bumblebee be if Sam was Marvel Legends scale?

Big enough to keep Mikaela happy, I'm thinking

Twice as big as Brian Austin Green, gotcha.

While I've yet to find Arcee, I have stumbled upon Cybertonian Ratchet and I have to ask, is he really worth it if I've already got Earth Ratchet? I'm hardly a completist and the robot modes look awfully similar, I'm not sure he's worth buying a second time.

He might be for an Ironhide custom, were you so inclined.

We're supposed to get an official Ironhide, so you might want to hold off on that.

But even as just Cyb Ratchet, he is fucking awesome. I got him as a "show completist" (I got him, but not "Freeway Jazz" or "Elite Guard Bumblebee"), but he is a fantastic figure, regardless!!

i saw 3 or the ratchets in toys r us yesterday. and passed on it

*would kill or die for an arcee*

Now I'm off to work! *tears of sadness*
