    One of those unusual instances where having one makes me appreciate the other... and vice-versa.

    anyone know the easiest way to make my CHUG megatron bomber more awesome with purple highlights like the takara one has? Just in the little grooves.

    *I gave that same rifle to Perceptor too. Great photos. Thanks for sharing :cool: 

    Well, Ratchet, Wheeljack and Perceptor all have science based specialist skills in different professions, so technically they are all *loosely* scientists.

    You could also call Wheeljack a mechanic, but I would not put say my local car mechanic in quite the same category as say a NASA mechanic, even though they are both mechanics.

    Finally painted ratchet to the g1/henkei colors...Unfortunately hasbro used the off white and it wasnt a straight match. Oh well, i think it looks more like ratchet now.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Does anyone know if CW Magnus can hold TFP Voyager Magnus' weapon? In both gun and hammer mode?

    Also, is it just me or does TFP Voyager Magnus look a bit like TLK Prime in robot mode? Especially in the chestpiece and torso.

    Mine too! :thumb 

    The new TR ones just don't do it for me. Kup looks ok, but Hot Rod is so weirdly proportioned.

    Same here. All tho to me TR Kup looks like random Autobot #9 and just doesnt work for me. Im still very happy with CHUG Kup and HotRod.

    Won't be replacing mine either :thumb

    In Hot Rod's case, TR may have better articulation, but I'll gladly sacrifice that for better paint, aesthetics, and proportions.

    Agreed same for me,its also a plus thats hes not a headmaster either. I did put TR Blur with my Movie shelf,but only cause hes not a repaint of Drift,so Im willing to let Blur slide a bit more there.
