Unless it is a one up, for detail analysis, this looks like a 1:24 line now.
I have Alt OP in my hands, and he is not the same size.
looks to be roughly 7.5- 8 inches tall.
Thats BT size!

For the sake of establishing proper scale, here are the official dimensions of the box, as provided by Toy Hobby Market:
Width: 220 mm
Height: 210 mm
Depth: 90 mm
Or in Imperial:
Width: 8.7 inch
Height: 8.3 inch
Depth: 3.5 inch
Compared with Alternity boxes, they are larger in Width and Height, but not in Depth. This may indicate they'll be packaged in Robot Mode.

Small boy passes by on his scooter.
Takara rep: "Hey small boy, would you like to play with this rare unreleased prototype?"
Small boy: "Wow this looks huge and possibly expensive. I'll give you my £$1 pocket money for it!"
Takara rep: "Security! SECURITY!"

Besides that, it does make me wish I did not miss out on Binaltech Asterisk. And knowing my luck, I might also regret missing out on this as well.

It does look like a kid is holding it, which would make the toy look bigger than it is

It might be larger scale, but I still doubt that, because of the reasons said like 10 times before so I don't repeat that.

Really. A "harlot"? That really helps us take what you said seriously.
But yeah... Some of us here own Arms Micron figures and others own Alternity. Some, like me, own at least one of both. So using a kid's hand as a scale does help some of us determine both the size and bulk of the figure.
And even then... I think those who are being serious about the size are not substitute NFL referees.

It's japan, it's acceptable there.
Besides I've never seen a "Kid" with old beat up long finger hands.
meh, whatever, we will know soon enough.
it's still all speculation.

Ok, stay calm and call the hand Police!

And speaking of appearances: yowza.
That is all.

I love it!

Man, I really wish I could get Star Saber, but he's just too expensive.

But 90mm? So they are no way in scale/meant to interact with the TF? I thought maybe we were gonna get something about the size of MP Spike who could ride around in them Not complaining though
Saber is pretty.

The shins, feet, forearms and hands in particular just don't look good.

Though, they could've done better. They're not bad, they just could be better. Still, nothing major to complain about.
Totally getting Prime and Saber. Wonder what Fort Max's Race Queen will look like.
And are the Kiss Player haters rejoicing yet?

Leave it to TakaraTomy to have Transformers and Microman crossbreed again Would those figures be in scale with 1:32 though?

They'd have to be like the size of MP Spike to fit inside the toys' Vehicle modes.

And yes - Atop of a few Transformers that I'd like to see be placed in the Encore line... I would love to see the Diaclone line get some love, even if they become Toy Hobby or e-HOBBY exclusives. My collection needs some of that kind of lovin'.
But with this... Lets just say that I am glad I did not preorder. Just not feeling anything when it comes to the final product.

O well, Saber is on the maybe list. My Asterisk and KP girls are getting lonely

True dat. Although he could use a bit more white on the chest, maybe.

Thanks for the info!
My Japanese is pretty rudimentary especially when it comes to Kanji, so I could only make out the characters Taka(something) Mi(something).
I think she actually looks prettier than the figure. Or maybe it's just the lack of ball joints?

I think it's just the manufacturers managed to hide the articulation points better on humans, and to be fair, they are a much larger scale.
