Webhead Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Essentially he's an official "Faith Leader". I had to google that. He's taller than the igear PPP-01 though right? I just checked ebay and can't believe how much that faith leader is. sigh. My masterpiece Optimus and grimlock are lonely and need Rodimus!

karamazov80 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Faith Leader is just a scaled down MP-01, though, and this is pretty dramatically different from that. Plus, Faith Leader is an unlicensed knock-off, though that may or may not bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think $100+ is too much for that size. Does the MP-01 really tower that much over Rodimus? I don't see/understand why they would do another Prime but slightly smaller than the first.

karamazov80 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Yes, the MP-01 is quite large compared to the other MP figures. I don't have Rodimus, but this is how he and Megs look in comparison to some of the Alt. figures and MP Starscream and Grimlock (which are close to Rodimus scale, from my understanding): They tower over them.

Webhead Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) i'm ok with them being taller than starscream but not that much bigger than Grimlock. So maybe the MP-10 downsize is a good thing if it makes Grimlock look larger. Right now I only have the masterpiece Optimus, Grimlock and Skywarp. I'm still kicking myself for passing over the starscream back when it was originally at walmart. If Jazz and Prowl were a couple inches larger it would be perfect. I found this pic of the Faith leader figure amongst others. Not bad for scale. Edited May 11, 2011 by Webhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) I actually like the scale of the Alt figures being a bit smaller than Starscream/Grimlock/Optimus, because they're just cars and should therefore be smaller than a jet, T-Rex, or Mac truck. The Classics figures in the pic you are showing are a bit smaller than the Alts (that are in my picture), and the Alts would appear closer in size to the Faith Leader.

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 BTW, the RTS figures are on sale for $7 at my walmart. Nothing new though. Though if you need me to pick yall up something, LMK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I just got the Faith Leader, and think the scale is good with the rest of my display collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 he looks good with Grimlock there though a bit smaller than starcream. Can you take a pic with MP01 in there? Also if you don't mind how much did you snag him for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I picked him up for $100 shipped from a boardie elsewhere, though he's missing the gun that fits in the Classic Prime's hand. TFSource has him for $110ish plus tax I believe, though if you go that route, you'll want to pay with Paypal since they've had credit card security issues. Here's a comparison pic with the MP figure I found via google: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/5afa958ae2.jpg I really dig this guy, the more I look at/pose him. But then, this is probably my favorite Transformers mold ever. Edited May 19, 2011 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Picked up the 2 of the G1-styled Legends 2011 figures at Big Apple Comicc-on today: Megatron and Starscream. For $8. Needless to say, i was very pleased. In retrospect, i should have bought the full wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Wow that's a huge difference in size. I may need to sell my MP01 and downsize to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Finally picked up my RTS "Battle In Space" 2-Pack to add another Hot Rod/Rodimus to my collection (yes Im one of those people who only collect one character and even then only when I remember). Have to say its a fantastic fantastic figure, despite been the same mold as the Classics Rodimus its just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing, and it helps you justify 2 of them when you have a Rodimus Prime sitting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'd heard mixed things about the Protector set, that and getting it in this country is a nightmare, I might keep my eye out for one though. Bigger priority for me at present though is an old TargetMaster HotRod, I have ye olde Chrome feet/twin guns one but have had a git of a time picking up a plastic feet/TargetMaster version for some reason :/ Is there a decent archive of instructions anywhere? I dug through an old box the other day and found my "slightly bigger than WST" Devastator and some kind of Autobot gestalt made from Japanese trains, and for the life of me I can't sodding work out how to combine them sanely (The trains not Devastator), even a name would help! EDIT: Sixtrain/Reideen. Seems somehow I have the 2002 Takara Blindbox versions.... weird. Still no instructions though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Magnus Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 There's a great gallery of the Kre-O display from BotCon at seibertron! I wish they were selling the minifigs seperately, but I'll buy the sets anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I would also buy the mini figures separately. . .but I'm not willing to pay what they're asking for those weird block constructed eyesores just for the little figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I got a big surprise today! A friend called me from BotCon and asked if I wanted his extra exclusive Kre-O Prime! I didn't even ask him about it or know he was attending. I'm so excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
