    I'm good without stickering or decaling up my MPs. Especially not those for Inferno. These aren't the old 80s toys, they just don't look right on the toon design IMO. Grapple's are much less invasive, but still not really needed for me.

    I agree. Inferno and Grapple might looks "plain", but that's their intended 'toon look which is what I want.

    I'd get labels for the MMC/OX ones since they look like the G1 toys though.

    I didn't even think of doing that. I may have to do that as well. I am very happy with how Takara made Grapple, but Inferno just doesn't look appealing enough for me. I like details on my bots, not plain arms and legs.

    Just got mine transformed. Man, he is a beauty! There were a few bumpy moments - most memorable was folding the crane arm for the first time, man that was stiff, I kept thinking "does it REALLY bend here??? Am I reading everything wrong somehow???". But all's well that ends well.

    Bot mode - spectacular. Transformation - brilliant. Vehicle mode - very nice. Maybe a few quibbles in vehicle mode, the backs of the legs are a bit busy, and he does have a butt flap. But forgivable IMO.

    Now the hard part: do I get a TT Inferno or one of the 3Ps? Urgh too many options...

    I put this guy on the backseat for a while because of the number of LEDs involved with this one, but I finally got him done. 17 LEDs in total, including both chest panels. Includes small custom detachable plugs for his detachable accessories. Check him out!

    Whoa!! That's awesome, man! The non-toon cab front in particular looks incredible.

    Do you do customizing for others if they send their figures to you?

    I do, but I'd prefer not to do Grapple or Inferno as they are way too labor intensive!! Regardless, let me know what you have in mind.

    Wow. Just when you thought these couldn't get any cooler. It really brings to life the great work put into these in both modes.

    Wow looks great! Although... it seems to need a light blocking layer inside to keep the light from shining through the plastic where it shouldn't bleed through especially on the front... criticism aside looks great :D
