Put them in the back of the display and just say they're really far away. It's not lack of scale, it's forced perspective.
As in they're going to be dead by the end of the movie?
I blame the tiredness, but I didn't even initially realize those are the Classics Ramjet mold...
Classics was such a great toyline for its time.
In fact, let's see those classics toys!
Eep! Sorry, (fellow) UT fans, I didn't realize it'd change the theme. But rejoice, (fellow) Classics fans!
No, put them at the front and the Voyager Seekers at the back. Then it'll be forced perspective.
Well, if we're talking 2006/7 molds only, this is what I have left:
I've slowly been moving my pre Prime Wars figures along (the Coneheads in particular last week).
Jetfire was the first figure I bought (along with Ramjet) when I got back into collecting in 2007. I keep waiting for a suitable replacement that modernizes the basic design. Could be a long time coming.
(And yes I know I'm cheating a bit with Prime, but I re-bought a worn copy to put with the armor since the price was right)

Oh, no, I had so many old UT era stuff left when I'd finally got a bit better at editing:
Of course, even into the Classics era my camera was crappy for a long time...

My first thought was evil robot Hitchcock and Scully.
Ok keeping it to the original Classics moulds (not necessarily releases)

Also... I'm intrigued by the concept of multiple 'bots wearing the Magnus armour so I decided to lean into that.
Kingdom UM and CW UM were pretty easy. Each is distinct and each has a distinct guy in the armour. Re-purposing Siege UM would only really work to my OCD self if I made the inner robot as distinct from the white Optimus inside Kingdom UM as possible. So I left the crotch plate up in armoured configuration and swapped out the head for...Classics Jetfire's head (still on theme!)
I love that Classics Jetfire toy and I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it when I replaced it in my collection with the Japanese release of the Generations Leader, so I kept it in storage. But it wasn't doing anything and I realized that it was just the right shade of Hasbro off-white to use on the Siege UM body! So there you go.
Kingdom UM- Original Ultra Magnus
Siege UM- Datum
CW UM- Minimus Ambus

Thank you!
The poor-resolution adventures of Classics Bumblebee and his cardboard TARDIS, done a decade before I ever found a plastic one in a clearance bin.
This one actually aged well, which makes me deeply sad inside...
It was several election cycles ago when I did these. This one also requires no changes to work nowadays. Yeah, I'm depressed about it too...
