    So, I know this wouldn't be the "official" configuration, but part of me has thought about picking up and extra Ironhide and Offroad and trying to do a part-swap deal... creating a grey Ironhide to more closely echo his Beast Wars version. Heck, maybe even throw a First Aid into the mix to get red legs. I think the Offroad mold with the Ironhide head and the teal parts swapped out would make a pretty great BW Ironhide.

    I would also like to see that.

    I would have included pictures of the individual members of Magnaboss, but I forgot to get pictures of them before adding a bunch of Reprolabels, and I wanted to show the "official" look.

    Honestly I'm planning on probably getting an extra Hot Spot and repaint the mold along with making a new head for both the robot and torso mode as Ironhide with an extra Air Raid as Silverbolt and the Dead End/Prowl mold as well Prowl because I think they evoke the BW versions more.

    I can't say I'm sour about Megatron seeing as I WAS fortunate enough to be at the con Thursday and get it but I do think FP's run of 850 was too small. A full 1500 as they'd done with past figures would've still sold out.
    That said though I doubt what happened with 2016 Megatron will EVER reach the levels of obnoxiously horrible that 2006 Megatron has.

    I decided to swap out TM3 Megatron's spark crystal again. I originally swapped it out with a purple Predacon crystal. I wasn't happy with that so I tried an amber vehicon crystal, but there wasn't enough color contrast between the amber and the gold. Then I tried a red vehicon crystal and I really like it. It also matches the bio card artwork better. What do you all think?

    Oh and Beast Machines Skydive is keeping his amber Dinobot crystal safe for him.

    Not leader, the mold itself would be ultra class. That would place it between voyager and leader.

    Nope, Ultra Class. There's several scouts in that shot and Beast Wars deluxes typically weren't very tall.

    Well with how Leader class figures have shrunk the old Ultra's are probably around the size of most current leader class figures.

    Edit: I took a quick picture with Leader Class Magnus.
