X2 Toys tease Clones

Looks like they are creating Autobot and Decepticon clones,
based on Cloudraker/Fastlane and Pounce/Wingspan.

Werent the original G1 toys smaller than the 86 Autobot cars? I dont like how it will potentially be the same height as the Masterpiece cars. I imagine they should be the same height as a deluxe classic bumblebee or scout sized Wingcharger

FINALLY the Indy Transforming Robot scene is starting to diversify!

These could turn out to be rather cool if executed well, thanks for letting us know Autobreadticon - I look forward to seeing how these Clones turn out.

Those exposed hip joints don't look so good.

But... it's not Predaking... or any other combiner...

I wonder if that's an assembly error? It looks like you should be able to switch the thighs around

They are not the type of characters that would be first choice for an MP shelf.

Give 'em time...

Would have to agree there, I'd prefer the Clones to be slightly more substantive than their G1 counterparts myself.

Why does it feel like 3rd parties are giving their toys growth hormones, Gigapower Snarl is taller than Masterpiece Grimlock and MP-10. there are a number of other examples as well

The problem is MP08 (Grimlock) is undersized when scaled against all Masterpieces from MP10 Optimus Prime to present. In the G1 cartoon, Prime only came up to Grimlock's chin. In the Masterpiece toys it's the other way around with Grimlock only coming up to Prime's chin in robot mode.

The Dinobots should be massive and these 3rd party Masterpiece Dinobots are looking to reflect that.

ahh that make sense

Those legs do seem a bit bigger than I'd expect, but its hard to judge overall size without a torso. Still even if they were a similar height to MP Sideswipe that would put them on the small Voyager scale.

Seems like 3rd partys are using old Hasbro scale when deluxe's were bigger, while Hasbro deluxe toys are shrinking.
