    I have to add a vote for the G1 colorscheme - while I like many G2 schemes, Defensor's always felt too jarring, which detracts from the final product
    Also - Hey cool we're using some of the same molds! ^^ I've got Ransack, RID Optimus (yellow version) and classics Ratchet for Groove, Hot Spot and First Aid. One thing I like about the Ratchet mold is that he can work as an arm or leg fairly well.
    I can't wait to see how your Supreme Starscream head works for the mold-here's hoping for more pictures soon^^

    I'm using Universe Blades (the Evac recolor) as Blades and the Clocker scout as Streetwise (he's about the same size as Ransack: I've the police recolor of Ransack for that matter)

    For Defensor's head, I'm not sure who or what I'm going to use yet, my supreme starscream's head already been claimed by Menasaur ^_^

    I haven't posted these guys yet because I'd wanted to get all five figures (I didn't have clocker or RID Optimus) and I wanted to have them be a bit closer to 'done'. I'm currently finishing/refurbishing the basement, which is eating up all my time... but I'll try to nab some pictures of First Aid at least, since he's done... Blades only needs to be modifed to have his rotory assembly stay on his back so I'll try to get some pics of him too^^

    I'm assuming that you chose RID Prime for the same reason I did? Not only was he a fire truck... he also comes with the larger head, arms and legs/feet - which are parts I'm going to try and work into my gesalt form^^
