I think Stripes was essentially meant to be Steeljaw.

 

Thank you so much for this list. Was able to knock a bunch of em off my to buy list. Don't care for Titans Return Galvatron's mask thingie, and am TERRIBLE at painting, anyone know where I might find a better one in the right purple? I assume Generations Unicron is the way to go, has anyone made any Quintessons yet? Seems like they'd be pretty easy for Hasbro to do

 

I prefer the 2010 reissue of Unicron & Primus, I've also been asked to update my list with some Siege figures.

- Siege Springer
- Siege Shockwave (I assume he has a gun mode)
- Omega Supreme (I'll have to make a spot for him in '85)
- Siege Jetfire (Skyfire)
- Siege Reflector (again I need to make a spot)
- Siege Sixgun

 

I'll need to replace some of these dude with the new Earth Siege line, I've got to free up some time to get this done.

 

Just remember: you're never "out"...

 

this is true

 

Anyone have a clean HD picture of Shockwave in pistol mode? All I can find online is that spaceship form.

 

Awesome! Great work!

 

Any updates to this with some of the new Siege and Earthrise additions?

 

That is my intention but finding the free time is the issue now, I need to photoshop some official photo to add then get them loaded onto my template.

 

TFW you realize that Skids and Tracks are just about the only (large) G1 characters that haven't been remade recently.

 

I just realized this week that I have officially replaced all the original launch cast of "Classic" figure after this first wave of Earthrise figures.



Sad day, now who's going to help me list out all the figures that need to be updated?

 

Not sure about 'replaced'. I still own all my Classics 2006 figures and have no intention to get rid of them. They're damned fine toys, IMHO.  

 

Since your toy guides were so instrumental in helping me complete my CHUG collection, ask and ye shall receive. Some of them I would argue are a better representation of the figure than others (for example Combiner Wars VS Siege Shockwave) but I've listed all the ones CHUG applicable since the last update on your guides. Hope this speeds up an updating on the 3 years. Would you consider uploading the Autobot and Decepticon blank templates? I could help you by making guides for 1987 and 1988   I just want them to match and if I had a blank template, that'd save me so much more time than trying to colour match everything again in Photoshop! Cheers!!

I don't think anything will ever replace that Bumblebee figure for me, that thing is amazing (although never got a definitive paint job) I wish the new Cliffjumper was scaled similarly instead of scaled to the Legends figures...

 

you don't think the henkei paint job is definitive? the only thing that kinda throws it off for me is the chromed hood vent, but the gold instead of silver makes it at least more passable imo

 

I don’t have room to keep them all so I sell the off as I get a mold I like better. Starscream was the last to survive as that’s a tough call. That’s because it’s not only him but all 6 of the seekers.

Wow, yeah I have a lot of work to do.

Yeah I can try and dig up the original template, we can have a conversation and discuss this further as I’ll probably have to email it to you.

I know what you mean, I just sold the red Cliffjumper with the devil horns add-on last month. All the Henkei paint jobs were the best.

 

Is it necessary to update this with every update? I mean, if one version is superior, I say stick with it. To this day there isn't a Bee mold aside from MP that comes close to touching Classics Bee.

 

No I don't think that's necessary and I agree some of the original Classics are perfect. I still haven't bought a single Ultra Magnus since the original with Fansproject add-on. I only made the list comprehensive to catch Trailbreaker77 up on all the CHUG representation that has come out since.
