MP-12 Scale + it's derivatives

1. T_T
Let's hope there's Hasbro version


2. Scale calculation
Originally from http://starscreamslocker.blogspot.com/2012/05/mp-12-lambor-sideswipe-size-comparison.html

whoever actually calculate the pixel OR width of MP-10 chest & MP-12 chest is super awesome

Anyway, it says there
MP-10 width = 100 unit & MP-12 width = 89  unit

so, to get the actual size of MP-12, we need MP-10's measurement, which I got ::BRAGS::


OK, the calculation as follows

MP-12 width / 089 = MP-10 width / 100

MP-12 width = MP-10 width / 100 x 089

and we get 67mm, with actual Lambroghini's width is about 2000mm

The scale is 2000 / 67 = ~30

1:30

dem it

3. must buy, BUT
it must be yellow / Tigertrack (impossible) T_T or black repaint / Deepcover (s*** expensive for sure, it's black T_T)

on 3rd Party

1. Expensive
HasTak can sell cheap, as they're producing 100s-of-thousands of figure

Fair price (IMHO) is as below

e.g :
Leader Class : RM 210 x 2 = RM 420
Voyager Class : RM 120 x 2 = RM 240

Anything more is krazy :D


2. Trumps HasTak
It shouldn't happen, HasTak has the designer & money to produce awesome figure,
Instead, they produce 'smaller' Deluxe that can combine + Bumblebees
Although this is to be expected, big company plays it safe, so 'test' the market first with small figures etc..


3. Awesome
FP CA / Insecticons
FP WB Steelcore / Roadbuster
FP Assaulter / Broadside
PE-11 Scouting Force X / Reflector
TFC Hercules / Devastator
TFC Uranus (haha T_T) / Superion
KM-03 Cyclops / Shockwave
KM Hexatron / Sixshot
iGear PP03 / Coneheads
iGear PP05 / Ironhide + Ratchet


On the other hand, the MP 2.0 series seems awesome enough (MP-10, MP-11, MP-13)

So who win & lost? Collectors of course
Lost money, wins satisfaction haha

Mirage

There are two pre-G1 mirage, blue (normal) & red (exclusive with pre-UM)


CHUG Mirage - BLUE - 7/10
H : 0959 / 0040 = 24
L : 4545 / 0140 = 32.5
W : 1796 / 0070 = 25.5




Liger - RED - 7.5/10
H : 0959 / 0030 = 32
L : 4545 / 0110 = 41
W : 1796 / 0050 = 36

Width is important (always does), so deviation from the the ideal / magical 1:32 should be minimal


So, it seems like RM Liger is the 'cute' version of Mirage T_T in terms of length anyway..


Nevertheless, both are nice, which means

tfwiki/cockpit OR Soul Figures

Well, it seems that three Beast Wars figure actually have an official cockpit that's designed to have a Soul Figures (sounds like Spark Driver to me :D)

- VOK Emissary - TransMetal Tigerhawk
- Maximal - TransMetal Optimal Optimus
- Predacons - TransMetal Megatron

So, diaclone also do have drivers with magnetic feet, great homage
never manage to find / create one

But it's not 1:32 scale, obviously T_T
But then they're imaginary creature, hmmm

So transtech it is T_T

p/s: I'm guessing this'll never ends ...

1. design in 3d software (e.g Blender)
2.  Export / save to supported formats
3. send to shapeways
4. select material
5. charged / pay
6. shipped
7. assemble
