I think all cars should be deluxe size. The best part about modern crossover toys is that they can, in theory, fit in with other Transformers.

Honestly, I think Ectotron fits in well. If he's too big it's only by a touch. I didn't notice it until it was pointed out and even then I had to really compare the two to vehicle's widths to see it. If I have to go that far I think it's fine. I mean, even all deluxe cars aren't perfect in terms of scale. Especially if we aren't ditching out older TFs.

I think the only crossover that doesn't quite fit in is Party Wallop. Since he's based on a mutant turtle and a flat cartoon aesthetic whereas other crossovers are based on real vehicles with real vehicle details.

The scale thing is what put me off of Marvel Crossovers back in the day (only got a few recently). They're so big - they fit in with nothing! A good deal on ebay got my into getting a few more. Ironically that package seems to have gotten lost in the mail. :lol:

For Ectotron, I would say voyager was the best bet. Don't forget how absolutey massive a 59 Callilac ambulance is compared to more recent cars. Voyager is still probably a little too big, but deluxe would have been way too small.

May as well post pics of the size comparisons. Agent Knight sure has taken his steroids.

TBH, and I know it'll never happen, but I wish they'd make a deluxe option. Same basic mold without the lights and sounds to better scale with the rest of the TF line. And without the car's "chin".

A proper video review from (who else?) PvP.

It's already out in the Asian markets so it's not surprizing. Also, the date is December for Amazon but I wouldn't be surprised if it's sooner at independent retailers.

Also, I knew it would work perfectly with Ectotron.

TBH, I think he looks massive next to Ecto-1, but it's a lot less obvious than next to Gigawatt and some of the other crossover cars.

I think he looks decent next to the HA car and may looks good next to Alternators since they draw G1 inspiration. But Alterators are a very different style. I dunno. Knight is a VERY one-off sort of guy.
