Here's my attempt at storing potentially useful scale and alt-mode info that (hopefully) the admins will not care about.
Maybe someone else out there cares more about alt-modes being in scale than the Sunbow robot modes. Ironically, I use the Micromaster "official" robot height of 7 feet average to determine my "ideal" toy size: O-scale (1:43). I also assume most bots' alt-modes do not grow/shrink with few exceptions, such as Soundwave, Megatron, Blaster and cassette-bots. If neither Micromasters nor cassettes were important to my collection, I would consider 1:60 (Diaclone scale) to maximize the number of G1 original toys that fit the same scale.
AM = alt mode.
