Product listings on websites say that Prime is 9cm and the Megatron 10cm.

Think I’m going to pick up a Transform Element Prime, prob the black one, seeing a lot of good talk about this guy. Also going to be in the market for DX9’s Carry soon. I just can’t stand MP Rod any longer  |

I've ordered a TE Prime from the batch TFSExpress are getting in next week. I've been waiting on that restock for months. I was never going to buy MP44 because the backpack is ridiculous for a figure costing that much. I'll be more than happy with the TE one and MP10's trailer. The TE one seems to have reviewed really well. I keep reading that the aesthetic on the Magic Square one is nice, but that the plastic and feel is too cheap for MP. I also really don't like the huge gap at the top of the legs. The TE one is spot on as far as I can see.
Carry has always looked too CHUG styled for me to be an MP. I really like MP-09's look. Happy with that one.

Ohh superb find, Pins! Outstanding work, sir! I'd found such conflicting numbers and not a direct comparison anyplace! I think that works... I think that works ok. Megatron does look a smidge bulkier, but it may just work. And, end of the day, both those figures are the best looking of their kind. ............................. Oh shit I'm going to order them both aren't I...? Oh.... SHITBAGS! Aaarrrgh! Shit shit shit shit shit! |

But that Megatron looks bobbins compared to the Newage one and they're the same height according to TFE's listing. 11cm.

I don't buy legends but I'm having the Newage Megs when I can get a toy colours one because it looks amazing.

I've ordered them both!
DAMN IT PINWIG, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!
..........................
Newage Megatron and Optimus are 3.5" according to my research, not the crucial 4". Damn the internet and it's hazing reporting of illegal action figure heights!!! Who do you believe?!?!?!
(Newage Megatron does indeed look GORGEOUS...)

Good Lord. This really does go from one mode the other without parts forming!

I'm sure it'll be a fragile nightmare, but that sort of design ethos is more what I'm looking for in a high end Unicron!

The other Zeta products I have are definitely far from fragile, here's hoping!

It's a lot of balljoints on long thin strands that seem to rely on friction to hold things up and a lot of force to pull out and transform! But their use of diecast for the big joints makes it clear they're focussed on making it robust

DAMN IT PINWIG, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!! You asked. I've got myself at it now. Those Newage Insecticons look flubbing jubbly. |

Good Lord. This really does go from one mode the other without parts forming! My god this thing is clever! I really hope they package it in planet mode because it looks really intuitive to convert to robot. But going in reverse without knowing what to do looks like it'll be a nightmare. This video has made me want this more than anythibg Hasbro has said or shown with theirs. |

Oooooh nonnononononono
Takara or hasbro needs to announce God Neptune ASAP because I don't want to buy another 3p combiber only for hasbro to announce the real thing. I also don't want to miss the only one I absolutely NEED if Hasbro/Takara drop the ball because of anti-beast wars sentiments.

Spoiler is currently sat at the post office waiting so I'm very glad to have got Roadking secured. No messing with these fellas now, day one pre-orders for all FT figures going forward. |
