Default Transformers Question

Greetings!

Question concerning Transformers. Which Transformer out on the store shelves now that is close to Joe scale?

Walking through Target this week I saw a motorcycle .. kinda blue.. name started with a "C" that looked like would've been a good scale to use with Joes.

The Rampage one also looks interesting.

Which ones would you recommend that would fit in the Joe universe in Joe scale? Crossover weekend is coming up.

Chromia?

Aside from her or Arcee there are no Transformers out that are in-scale with Joes. Of a mildly close scale, there is Human Alliance Bumblebee, here's a gallery of him.

Hope that helps a little.

I will say that I am one of the biggest TF fans on this site... and I can easily answer your question about which TF's are in "1/18" scale.


Revenge of the Fallen
"Cromia" is a little big, but can work.
"Knock Out" and "Reverb" are also motorcycles, but they are a little smaller than Cromia, and they seemed to me a little too small for Joes.
The "Ultimate Bumblebee" is a price gouge ($100.00 on average), but he's supposedly "1/18" scale.

Animated
"Oil Slick" is perfect for a Dreadnock Bike, and he's in scale.
"Prowl" is close to scale and works well too.

Wow! I am impressed with the responses and very humbled. Thank you all for your help. I'll be on the lookout for those, and probably will get cromia (sp?) somewhat soon since it is over at Target in bunches.

If so, then this will be my first Transformers since Takara.

The Masterpiece editions Optimus, Starscream, Megatron, Grimlock, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Nemesis Prime, as well as the Alternator line are adequate as well. They are smaller than 1/18 scale, but work out okay. They look small in vehicle mode but look fine in robot mode. I have the Masterpiece Optimus and a couple of Alternators and they look both realistic and awesome when used in combination with Joes.

Human Alliance Bumblebee isn't quite in scale but he still looks pretty damn cool with Joes', Check it out:

(Keep in mind Resolute RB is HUGE compared to other joes)

Heres a better shot:

I put some other figures in there for size comparison.

I would have killed for a few shots like this before I bought Bumblebee. Thankfully he turned out to be about what I expected, he doesn't look bad at all displayed with Joes'. Also, Bumblebee is exactly about 8" tall.

Hope that helps.

Hello Kalash69, it does help. The photos were excellent, and that's a pretty nice Roadblock too. Bumblebee and Roadblock, double treat.

Nice pics... I still say if you have the money, then the "Ultimate Bumblebee" is the way to go. In robot form he is near perfect scale to joes, and in car form I hear he's really damn close.
