- Tow-Line - http://www.cliffbee.com/reviews/etowline.php


But the cravings can hold on for now, until my neo-pre-g1 collection is done first :D


And finally decided on neo-pre-g1 bluestreak  google 'chrysler ME 412', you'll see why haha T_T
then see tf-1 the head matches too - BONUS POINTS

So the mandatory scale calculation as below

H : 1140 / 065 = 17.5            <<< yeaah, sports car are very3 low
L : 4542 / 140 = 32.4             <<< WOW !!!
W : 1999 / 070 = 28.5           <<< it should be less wider? then it'll look funny T_T


Also decided to use movie 1 / 2  bee as prowl, since there plenty of bee car to use as autobot cars..


Finally, oh where art thou TF:Prime Voyager Ratchet, I long for you :D
please please please, Wheeljack is NOT a Medic gaaaah

Scale Calculation - 1:32 Prowl

We'll use CHUG Prowl for this :D FYI I don't have it

From cliffbee :

H : 045mm

L : 130mm

W : 060mm

From wiki :
H : 1326mm
L : 4308mm
W : 1816mm


OK, Scale calculation
H : 1326/45 = 29
L : 4308/130 = 33
W : 1816/60 = 30


Scale (1:32):
H - 1:29
L - 1:33
W - 1:30


Conclusion : Very near-scale, must buy haha...


Don't think can got Henkei for a decent / non-scalped price


P/S : Any other decent-looking Prowl? RID Prowl?

Scale - The Easy Guide

OK, read the below first

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale

So still want to collect figures by scale? Read on :D

The hard, mathematical way is:
compare the figure's alt-mode dimension with the real-life size dimension.

in short (real width) / (alt-mode width) then you'll get the scale
e.g 4800mm / 150mm = 32, so the scale is 1/32 (tadaa !!!)

So, the tricky part is actually finding
1. The correct alt-mode
2. Alt-mode dimension (hint: use the ruler)

For figure's dimension, luckily we have http://tformers.com/reviews.php
For actual dimension, we can use wikipedia / image search / google search / luck T_T

So it's very tricky haha

~~~~

Q: So the easy way to compare?
A: Just put ANY PCC minicon besides any alt-mode TF figures and IF you can imagine the minicon can sit comfortably in the TF figures' alt-mode's seat / cockpit, then it's more-or-less 1/32.


For 1/24, you can take any Human Alliance, errr, human figure and do the same.

For 1/60 scale, you can take the Diaclone's driver figure for comparison

~~~~

Q: Other scale for easy comparison?
A: Why you want other scale?
OK seriously, AFAIK there are no other human-like figure
what can be done? divide actual dimension with toy dimension (see above)

~~~~

Q: So the minicon is what height if it's actual human-size?
A: It's normally 55mm, so just do 55 x 32 = 1760 mm OR 1.76m (5 foot 9, short guy)

~~~~

So it's simple, you just need some imagination only :D
