A remold that I only bought just so I could repaint the damn thing, relying on the majority of the same paints as before with some minor adjustments such as not screwing up the windows. That and the original Universe 2.0 version was a gigantic pile of plastic scrap which had a bad transformation scheme, bad articulation and just overall bad everything. I know this one is much more of a departure from the old van style but personally I'm more used to the Bayformers variant who converted into a truck and had a British accent, because Michael Bay that's why. Though I did change it up by giving Ironhide a spare gun from a FOC Brawl, all because a few years ago I bought a G2 Bruticus set and I had to exchange it because of a few defects. So BBTS shipped me a new set and because of an order screw up I wound up with an extra set of weapons, which they let me keep for some odd reason. Well if I ever decide to purchase the remainder of the wave 4 Autobots, if anything they'll have some secondary options. Also you've probably noticed that after what must have been an eternity I finally changed my setup, equipped with an actual light box so now I don't have to rely on the weather in order to take better quality pics. Though it is going to take a while before I get used to this new arrangement.

If only I had access to a 3D printer so I could make copies of all the weapons I currently have. He'd look perfect with the guns from HFTD Highbrow and Prime RID Kup.
