    If you're like me and hate the tiny head Hasbro made for Generations Legends Gears, you might try this - you'll have to be willing to donate a part from an expensive 3rd party figure though! It's not a problem for me since I bought the Maketoys Cogwheel (their version of Gears) just because it had a G1 toy accurate alternate head. Also, that tiny Gears head works great on the older Universe 2.0 Legends Brawn. Very slight modding required, mostly carefully snipping off the old heads with sharp hobby scissors and gluing the new ones on.

    I just painted the "frame" around his head red so that it would look more like G1 Gears (from the cartoon) instead of Brawn's head. (But it does make for a good Brawn head if you swap it onto legends Brawn like you did) :)

    Thanks! That Huffer is an Igears Rager (the MW-02G 4th anniversary edition in G1 toy colors) with the legs swapped from the Generations Legends Huffer versions. Colors match pretty good and still transforms ok. I've seen several people do that particular mod here on tfw, I wish I could recall their names to give them proper credit!

    Awesome, thanks for sharing. Might give me a reason to pick up the Generations Huffer.

    Didn't realize Rager looked so in scale with the new legends bots
