Some prototype head casts, car chassis and control drawings, along with stuff from the movie. Neat.

Wow! As overdone as the Bruticus mold has become, seeing the very early stages of my childhood favorite is nice! :up:

Is that Overdrive on the right? Looks larger than I remember... Or is it that G1 cars are never as big as you think they are?

Did anyone notice the Black/Nemesis Convoy? It looks awesoem, but I didn't know about its existence...

From what I remember of my inherited, broken Camshaft, the Omnibots were only slightly smaller than the regular cars, yeah?

Yup, that's him. And yeah, the Omnibots aren't that much smaller than the other G1 cars.

The Omnibots, scale-wise, seem roughly 75-80% the size of the cars. I guess in a child's hands that difference seems greater. I was lucky enough to get all three as a boy- I was a sucker for getting stuff in the mail!- and disremember them being roughly only half the size of the cars.

BTW, I've never owned a Wheeljack and am surprised to see he's so big!
