impactor is based off the warpath mold which is smaller than other deluxes but if i remember the ironhide and ratchet were both voyager sized.

Yeah, his engineering is based on Warpath but it is otherwise a whole new sculpt so he could end up any size - It is not re-using any Warpath parts. Unlike the MP Seekers, Presser is actually a whole new mold that happens to follow similar transformation design to Warpath.
If you check the details, the whole thing is a new sculpt with it's engineering heavily borrowed or 'inspired' by Warpath. My hope is for him to be around the same height as Defender.
It's engineering is not original but I don't think that Hasbro would hold any IP rights to that. Well it's not as if IGear would care anyways.
I like. And I will buy him, hopefully not too expensive to buy.
yeah i've been meaning to do a comparison between the 2 as i did notice a lot of differences but since it hasn't been photographed against any other existing transformers, the original warpath scale is what i had to go by.
but yeah, someone like impactor being so small wouldn't make sense so i do expect him to be voyager sized.
It looks to me like they are establishing a $110 price point with the vanbots, which I think is ok for a 3rd party toy that is presumably somewhere between Voyager and Deluxe as long as they pack in lots of nice accessories. In Impactors case he needs a really big gun to be a wrecker, I hope they have something planned.
Anyway time will tell, the Igear Minibots are worthy of their price point, so as long as this toy is around 7 times better then it will be worth the $110 price point.:D
Hmm, I like the looks of it actually; so if someone could let me know when they release it in 2 years time? - that'd be really appreciated. ;):cool:
some of the rants abroad (no need to name the 2 worst sites) make me (sick) particularly glad to be here!
this is not a simple re-tool of warpath, it's freakin rad. takes me back to the good old "target 2006". if i have any complaints - which wouldn't stop me from buying this figure as long as it doesn't try to murder my wallet - it's that the feet seem a bit too large and goofish.
This looks really good. I like the detail in the autobot/wreckers insignia, very nostelgic. Hopefully this will not damage the funds toooo much:p
