    I plan to get Reprolabels sets to differentiate the Junkheaps more beyond just the head, and I might get a couple more RTS Wreck-gars and a United one. I also have a Maiden Japan head and armor that needs to go somewhere (I believe it's United color-matched). Maybe I don't need many PotP Junkions . . . 20180329_123612.jpg

    Thinking on getting a few of POTP Tailgate to use as CHUG Autotroopers.

    Bump!

    I've been meaning to post in this thread for a while. Between being out of town, and other factors, it's just taken a while to take some pictures and upload them. Rather then doing all these full size pictures in the thread, click to enlarge the smaller ones.

    I'm not gonna lie.... that's impressive, the lineup of Cyclonus figures reminds of Dreamwave. He was mass-produced like Scourge in that continuity. My next foray into army building might be SS Crowbar. He resembles Decepticon grunts in the DOTM game.

    I always wanted a toy of the yellow Cyclonus seen inside Unicron in the Energon comics.

    The Prime Trilogy has been great for updates of army builders...

    You're really gonna hate me but, maybe Takara LG/Adventure versions of each insecticon to be the "true versions" of each one.

    I do have LG Kickback and PotP Shrapnel as my "mains" for those two. There isn't a different Bombshell to use for his main. Personally, I don't care for the TAV versions with their weird symbols.

    Ah, got it. Maybe throw Chop-Shop in the army, he was apart of that second line-up of Insecticons.

    I can overlook the scan badges in favor of the better choice of paint with Takara's Bombshell and particularly Shrapnel. I was unnerved by the plain yellow paint on the re-released PoTP Shrapnel compared to the gold on the TAV one I bought loose in Japan.

    I was curious if anyone had a more ridiculous army out there? Like someone who somehow army builds Omega Supremes or Primii?
