If everything was made at N Scale (1:148), the FLAGG would only be about 7 feet long so comperable to the original.
It looks like there are a variety of N scale tanks available for wargaming, and years ago Warhammer had an "Epic Scale" line whichincluded N scale vehicles and space marines. So it is possible. That being said, they are making 28 MM miniatures for use with the G.I. Joe Roleplaying game, so they could do a line of model kits at S Scale (1:64) if they wanted to expand into vehicles and make almost everything short of the flag reasonable, even at true scale. |

Why does scale matter. Use your imagination these are toys. The Flagg is fine. As long as you don’t jam 6-7 planes on the deck it looks good. You put a couple jets and a helicopter and you are gold.

I want a Thunder Machine. The classic design is a bit outdated for Classified, but the modernized and modern military versions would be killer.

The Thunder Machine looks perfectly fine for something made in a Biker Gang's Garage out of appropriated parts.. it is supposed to look Mad Max like and at that it is 100% successful.
I just hope that Soundwave not selling doesn't put them off releasing it.. that would be tragic. |

I agree that scale doesn't matter much for kids and things like the compressed scale of the Rattler and Wolverine never bothered me back in the day. But, as an adult collector, those things stand out a bit more to me and when you scale up to 1:12, they are even more noteworthy. We're talking HasLabs here which specifically target adult collectors. If the line is aimed at kids and disposable play, my preference is different. |

I wonder if the existence of a plan to make a Triple T and Mobat in 3.75" scale as Transformers is a big red flag that we'd not get a Mobat for a while... that they might hold off on it in favour of something else like a Mauler if they were of a mind to do a tank.
Some have speculated too that they might release the Snow Cat first simply because of the Soundwave Thundermachine already being out. But I tend to think they have all those Dreadnoks... if they don't do the Thundermachine 1st I'd like a compensation for that like a Dreadnok version of the Stinger or The Dreadnok Motorcyle or even Zanzibar and his Airskiff. If they had something like that then a delay of a few extra months on the Thunder Machine would feel like the Cherry on a bigger cake and not just like a product delay instead. I guess one could argue that if they plan to do an Arctic Hiss that might move the Snow Cat around too, I honestly don't know if they'd want 2 Snow Vehicles out at the same time... they do after all have 3 Motorcycle class vehicle on pre-order AT THE SAME TIME at the moment. & bother Trubble Bubbles were released really close together too. That certainly makes me think not only a Stinger but some other options for the Vamp family might be a lot closer than we think (like June Pre-order). Some one mentioned that Python Patrol has gone very quiet too despite them still doing Tiger Force.. but then they did had Copperhead and the Black outfit Cobra dude out at the same time just previously.. so it wasn't that long ago I guess. |

Have you seen the 1/12 scale tank that Ramen toy is doing? It's pretty much a mobat, bridge layer and wolverine in one set. That project seems like a big risk if Hasbro announced a mobat or wolverine this year. Could they have some insight into what Hasbro is doing? IMO the Ramen design looks amazing and the alternate turret design is brilliant with a reusable chassis.
