>>11295517>>11295520I don't disagree with you considering scale has been fucked even during Diaclone though I wouldn't throw the chart out completely. I think we can reasonably agree that the Season 1 and 2 bots at least make some logical sense where minibots > carbots > vanbots > Optimus > Dinobots/Skyfire. It's really the Season 3 bots that start to show the major cracks, although you could make the argument that because of future year 2005 fuckery that some vehicles are just larger than their 1980s counterparts. AT MOST I'd see Springer maybe a head taller than Hot Rod but Rodimus would be easily taller than him since he should be comparable to Optimus. Magnus naturally just makes sense as a big bot because he's a goddamn car carrier.
It's funny because even Takara acknowledges the scale issues in the Masterpiece line when they talked about and specifically included tiny figurines of Autobots to ride him as well as two different sized human Ginrai. Sucks though that they pussied out by making robot Ginrai too small when they should know that everyone reasonably expects him to be the same size as Optimus.
