    To me this sounds like wishful thinking, I'll be impressed if it is true.

    I stood Voyager Classics Prime and Battle Tanker back to back. Yeah, Classics Prime has his head higher than tanker but Tanker's shoulders does give him a bit of extra height even though he still falls a bit short from Voyager Prime's height. Both are still comparable.

    Still, the closest 'standard' size for Tanker is still that of a Voyager.

    Perhaps and I am personally not counting on it but that 'what is being said' is pretty much the only information we have even though it may count to nothing.

    What I will say is given the rate that the $AU is climbing and assuming it stays on course, we may still get it cheaper.

    In that case let's hope they come out before Europe implodes.

    That photoshop looks good, but I'm still quite impressed with the G2 versions... Decision still isn't easy however.

    So is that green real or a photoshop?

    Regardless of what it is, due to the size of the picture, it's hard to see any detail.

    Anyways, I personally always felt that the yellow colors are much better (this applies to the G1 mold recolors too) but nostalgically, I prefer the green colors because that is the color scheme typically used to portray the Constructicons.

    Yeah, yellow is better but I will wait for the green release.

    It really does come down to a matter of personal preference huh?
    I'd like a Green set, but I also want to support Maketoys by getting the yellow set so as to aid in the certainty that a Green set will even be released at all.

    Whist TFC's Hercules is a stunning piece who's very existence is just amazing, I honestly do prefer the aesthetics (& Price) of the Maketoys Giant so in answer to Whoopy's question...

    Depending on how I can work my funds, I'll be happy to be said Guinea pig.
