Re: Dose MP Grimlock fit in with CHUGS?

Could someobody please post some pics of their MP Grimlock next to MP10 Prime in bot mode? Trying to find some good pics; what's the issue regarding scale, was Grimlock supposed to be larger than Prime in the G1 cartoon? I always thought they kinda were the same size, maybe Prime was a bit taller.

Any help would be great, thanks!

Re: Dose MP Grimlock fit in with CHUGS?

that has been argued a lot here, as some say they are bigger and other say they are not as they fit into primes trailer in one episode

Optimus' eyes are 225mm above surface.
Grimlock's eyes are 217mm above surface.

(Hoping I transformed them properly. Grimlock still gives me difficulty.)

I believe I may have erred in stating that Grimlock was put into Prime's trailer in an episode... It is possible I mis-remembered and fused the memory of a wooly mammoth fitting into Prime's trailer and the Autobots struggling to get the Dinobots into the shuttle in TFTM'86.

Still, further to the scale discussion -- I don't put too much emphasis on it. The combiners seem to increase in size ridiculously in some episodes... (eg. Starscream stands on Bruticus' shoulder, and Megatron fits in Bruticus' fist).

The seekers are about 30% taller the Autobot cars (200mm vs 155mm - eye level comparison for MPs ; 120mm vs 94mm for G1s). In the cartoon, I thought they were shown to be closer in height.

Optimus Prime's pilot is too big to fit into the cockpit of a seeker, as shown in the attached pic. So...

Next up for a size comparison will be seeing Daniel in an exoSuit that comes with MP Bumblebee.

Hence, as I said, I won't be too particular about size, especially in bot mode. As long as they are close, for me, that's good enough.

To each their own... Size matters to some -- not so much to others. Really, it's what you do with it, right?

Re: Dose MP Grimlock fit in with CHUGS?

Yeah, I was thinking the difference would be a lot greater. I see it's not, they look just fine together. I haven't watched a G1 episode in a long time, can't remember how Grimlock and Prime were in scale for bot mode but this is more than reasonable.

Thanks guys!

This is a great chart. A real scout class.
