  1. In reply to your response about what is “Masterpiece” size, I would say that modern Masterpiece toys (one made after MP10 Optimus Prime) are all done to scale with MP10 as Optimus Prime appears on the TV series bible scale chart. According to that chart all the Dinobots are a bit taller than Optimus Prime, so any Dinobot smaller than MP10 is too small. Yeah, I know that means Masterpiece Grimlock is too small. That’s probably why a lot of third pary companies are looking at making a bigger MP Grimlock.

  2. The proof that Bold Forms Gladius/Megatron was there in the slide show if you looked closely. It says on the slide for “BF01 Gladius Hand Gun/Mobile Striker”. For some reason they didn’t show the “mobile striker” in the slide show, but you can see some outlines of it on the thread on TFW2005. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-3rd-party-discussion/983418-bold-forms-gladius-dark-emperor-another-not-megatron.html#post10621809

  3. Okay, I actually did homework for this episode. Hope it’s useful. I went and took the show bible scale charts of the Autobots, and compared the size of Optimus Prime and Grimlock. Then did some algebra… with MP10 standing 23 centimeters tall in robot mode, most of the Dinobots (except Swoop, who is shorter than his team-mates) should stand about 26.2 centimeters tall. That’s about 10.3 inches. Even Swoop is taller than Optimus Prime though, about half way between a normal Dinobot and Optimus.

    • Thanks for all the great information Matthew! We just recorded our response in Episode 62 that will be up next week.
