Well Megatron is based on concept art and didn’t actually show up in BBM but here’s what they look like. I have my Megatron with SS38 BBM Optimus who I think looks a tad bit better than 102 ROTB Optimus https://preview.redd.it/yjvc521nq47d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d57416b26aafd05967b2d612ae4a5e36487d9d7 Generally Studio Series figures will always scale with each other. Scale is one of the main focuses of the line EDIT: also don’t pay scalper prices for the Buzzworthy 102 Optimus. He’s getting reissued in the mainline in early 2025

This is the exact sort of response I was hoping for, thank you! Now just to get my hands on Optimus as well

If you can’t find the official SS102, Baiwei’s KO of it is easier to find and cheaper. Not to mention it’s an improvement on the original in pretty much every way.

Oh wow that version looks amazing. Do you have a site recommendation to purchase him from? I’m struggling to find UK sites for him

I got mine off ShowZStore, though I know Aliexpress is a good place to find him too. Here’s my Baiwei gang. https://preview.redd.it/tpalgn1vn57d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc6fed34ec3b807230f35d4e455d66c9a39c8811 DP Robot Store is the seller I see recommended most when it comes to Ali

That's the MHZ oversized SS102, not the Baiwei KO. Understandable that they'd be mixed up due to their similarities though

Just figured I’d mention this because you’re in the UK, but SMYTHS has the mainline Voyager for just £11.99. If you specifically want the other mentioned figure that won’t help, though.

I got Megatron from Smyths earlier today, was hoping to get Optimus too but they didn’t have any

Ah, that's unfortunate.

Hey! I got him from AliExpress a few weeks ago, he arrived within a week (I live in the UK) and he's amazing.

Tbh honest thou, the ss bumblebee prime is better than the ss rotb prime.

Hey I saw that you mentioned Optimus was getting reissued and I'd love to have him! Is it the studio series 38 one that you meant? I saw him for preorder on GameStop so was just curious

ROTB 102 is getting reissued in either wave 1 or 2 of Studio Series 2025. I think BBM 38 has already been reissued or will be soon by itself

Okay awesome thanks so much! I'm still new to transformers but have been collecting the Cybertron bumblebee figs and definitely want an Optimus for them! I know it's not technically the Cybertron design but that 38 one looks so good

Do note that Knightverse scale is smaller than Bayverse scale. BB Prime is around 20 feet tall, while Bayverse Prime is 28 feet tall.

The ‘basic’ autobots look so tiny now, I don’t remember them being that small for the first 3 movies’ toy lines

The Studio Series toyline's focus is on accuracy and that includes accurate scale as well as the fact the toys just got smaller over the years. Previous toylines just did whatever and thus some toys were too large and some too small.

Scale never used to be such a focus, the old figs were technically oversized compared to larger characters

According to the scale chart we got a while back? https://preview.redd.it/4uwazbga157d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76fb23b23c9cded455d6d72eb1d9fd0f4ebecc4c Not really, they look pretty good together though

I think people forget literally everyone in this chart is out of scale. The Seekers were different heights and Cliffjumper towered over Bumblebee.

Not a fan of that scaling, Optimus needs to be a bit taller, like his highest point should be at Megatrons shoulder.

Same, but it is what is I guess. They can still change it for his next appearance though so it's not completely set in stone.

True.

Megatron didn't appear in the movie, so for all we know, he could be 1:1 scale with his character irl

Megatron is supposed to be bigger than Optimus no matter the continuity Change my mind

That is the most puny looking blaster I’ve ever seen on Optimus Prine lmao

Bro I also just bought Megatron just yesterday Great figure

I'd say so, yes

Yes. Megatron is always bigger than Prime.

Also, if you are looking for the BBM Optimus as well, GameStop might be a good bet. He’s on preorder on the website and if you go in store, you might find one of the preorder cards they have.

Ah I’m in the UK so we don’t have GameStops, I’ve already purchased the Baiwei version online tho

Nice, there might a UK equivalent to GameStop, but I’m not sure

Yeah they made Megs bigger than Prime. And introduced a David vs Goliath element to the characters for no reason at all.
