    Who would like to see somebody like FP make some upgrades for G1 toys? I'm not talking add-on accessories, I mean actual replacement parts for ones that...well, suck. Parts possible today that weren't possible then (or were just skimped on).

    Things like:

    new arms for Astrotrain that extend and add an elbow

    new arms for Blitzwing that add an elbow and add some shoulder movement

    Articulated Powermaster Prime arms

    Put your ideas here.

    CrazyDevy is sorta doing that with all of those little parts for the G1 combiners. They also made some pile-driver arms for Frenzy/Rumble.

    I know it's not exactly what you mean, but they seem to be going in that direction.

    There's the custom heads and arms/legs for G1 Ironhide and Ratchet. I've got the heads, but I'd love to find me the limbs.

    Old topic revival!

    I am surprised nobody has recreated the Energon Axe and Energon Mace since the molds are there.

    I'd love something to make Menasor more TV accurate.

    It's not easy to find what's out there unless you know by name, anything else cropped up in recent times?

    Crazy Devy parts are a big sucktitude! Avoid them like a plague. There was another G1 Dev upgrade set that was way better but I forgot its name. Just don't get Crazy Devy! As for the energon ax, there was an American seller (I think he was American) at ebay, also sold the blue ax for UM.

    The energon mace though, not sure if there ever was one as the TFC ver of Megs had the real Takara built mace. Try looking for that one.
