XM Studios - Transformers Optimus Prime

[Remember Me?]

If xm is planning to keep the truck, at least give us the container with it.

With Optimus being MTO, will they set an ES? Or only make them for so long, I don't totally understand their method for MTO.

They are doing another switch out arm option (not hologram), so I think it should be fine.

The characters that are just around the same height as Optimus and Megatron about an inch or 2 shorter are Soundwave, Blaster, Inferno (with his ladder on back), Grapple (same), Hoist....otherwise their heads (Grapple and Inferno and Hoist) come up to about Optimus's upper chest area. I will post a size chart if i can find it.

Man, imagine a Devastator or Omega Supreme. Would be insane

As far as MTO, they will have an ES but haven't decided on the size. Don't forget there are more territories that XM can sell to with the TF line. I'm sure XM will give an update soon as to all the details of this line. Just have to be patient until they do.

Admittedly, that is hard for me to do...

I hope we get a proper scale to Prime, Fortress Maximus made.

Do you think they will still be under 999 even though it's more territories?

Yes, patience is difficult for me as well. Especially with some of these pieces.

Hmmmmm....XM will make that known once they do the TF update. I don't know what the size is going to be personally. I do know Optimus has done very well...but what that entails as far as ES go...I haven't a clue.

IMO....I would keep TF under 999 even though there are more territories they can sell to.

Haha, I'm well aware of the chart, I may have posted it here one time in the past. It's a good guide but it isn't exactly accurate. going by that chart the coneheads (Thrust, Dirge, Ramjet) are all bigger than Starscream... who by design, should be the same size as Starscream.

In one of the episodes, Starscream even disguises himself as Prime:



All that said, I won't complain if they do make him smaller than Prime. As for who's bigger, All the Dinobots are bigger and that scares me.

Omega and Dev would be too big to do in scale in my opinion, heck even Jetfire

I am curious to see how they would do the minibots (hoping they get that far), would they do them as cheap statues, or as two packs? Likewise the Insecticons, a potential three pack?

Wowee, very interesting and super exciting... I guess my Statue collection may very well turn into a Transformers only collection. Time will tell.

You are joking right?



He'd be bigger than a person.

Agreed, especially at this price point. Statue companies in the past have always over estimated demand for most TF statues.

Hmm, I could get this or P1 Shockwave for a couple hundred dollars more to my door. Preferences aside, does that value seem close to 1:1?
