>>7970034First off, with the possible exception of DX9 Astrotrain, none of their MP scale figures were "Chugsterpiece", if anything they were closer to the proper MP look than modern Takara MPs. Secondly, they WERE properly scaled (as much as that's possible anyway)- in individual mode. The size of a combiner should be completely discounted for scale purposes because short of only displaying them next to Legends, they will NEVER EVER be in scale with other figures. Thirdly, it would have made more sense to keep the aesthetic (which was much better than the cartoon-literalism of Nu-MP) and scale whilst working on improving build quality and engineering in a mostly self contained package. Yes, partsforming lets a combiner be stable, but it's lazy engineering, it leaves you with extra crap with nothing to do outside of one mode, and it cheapens the point of a combiner, which is that, you know, it's multiple robots combined into one. Plus, quite frankly, this fallacious belief that bigger = better is flat out wrong, especially regarding price. Big toys are actually cheaper and easier overall to make than smaller ones, hence the shift to muh big muhfuggers. I've heard some people call the XTB limbs and by extension MP cars too small, when the truth is everyone else is too big (especially the Seekers, though as they varied in size from carbot to Megatron depending on who they stood next to it's impossible to get a properly scaled Seeker).
TLDR: Size queens who NEED BIG TOY NOW and lazy engineers ruin everything.
