Transformers Toy Scaling Testcase

Toy scaling has always been one of the overlooked subjects when it comes to transformers toys. Other toy lines such as gundam or macross actually make it a must to have the scale defined clearly for each toy/model kit. in the transformers toy universe though, scale is a much harder subject to tackle. this is mainly due to the vast variety of alt modes sported by these robots, ranging from tiny electronic devices to huge jets and helicopters.

one of the explanations used is the concept called mass shifting which i find very lame. mass shifting is used to explain for example, how starscream's f-22 mode can be more than twice as big as optimus prime's truck mode, but when in robot mode both starscream and optimus seem to be the same size.

anyway, with the transformers movie toyline still very well in production, the are quite few gems which can be found and put together to have a nice feel of scale. here i am showing a set of 4: leader class starscream, voyager class battle blades optimus prime, deluxe class ironhide and scout class breakdown.

ARE THEY IN SCALE???



well, actually almost!
scout breakdown and deluxe ironhide are actually same scale at 1:50
voyager battle blades optimus is 1:42
and leader starscream is 1:61

custom HFTD decepticon air cannon fodder type 1

hi guys, so starcraft 2 literally made my laptop overheat, and i don't think i'd have funds for a hardware upgrade very soon... good, this means i'll have even more time doing custom TFs!

here's my repaint of HFTD jetblade as a cannon fodder.
hope to do more olive drab cannon fodders soon, esp with hailstorm, payload, terradive...
