Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[sifun]

but as in, why is starsaber the supreme commander instead of God Ginrai? why was he replaced by starsaber in the first place?

[Demonac]

Sifun: coz they had a new toy to sell!
Shazam: Yea, Skyfire = Jetfire. Even though Bandai licenced the toy model out, they didn't do the same for the animation model. So Sunbow had to redraw it to avoid any legal entanglements. As to the sizing issue... it's G1, crappy scaling was par for the course :P

[roller]

which episode is Skyfire the same size as everyone else? I remember him always being larger

[Robzy]

Jetfire/Skyfire was originally intended to look more like his toy.

Here's Jetfire's original concept art...


I think they changed his name when they had to change the design.

And Jetfire's original design (as seen in the TV toy ad)...

bad question

how much to deluxes normally retail for major retailers?

How much does TK normaly sell deluxe transformers for?
the new animated toys seem really overpriced

[Paulbot]

Toy Kingdom had $27.99 Animated deluxes next to Movie deluxes for $26.99, so yes they were expensive. Big W is usually the cheapest for deluxes (about $24) and they usually range from $24 to $27 in other stores but most of us wait until they have a 20% off sale and you can get a deluxe toy for just under $20

Quoting Homer "You're living in the past, Marge! Quit living in the past!"

Well maybe not exactly the same size as the rest, but one moment he'll be massive so that the other autobots can sit inside him and then the next minute he's only a bit bigger then the other autobots.

I guess, its kinda like the situation with Megatron when he transforms into a gun.
