I'm still waiting on my package from HLJ, damn them for not offering registered packet to Serbia. Although I'm not sure who to blame since our postal service union has gone on a strike of sorts at the end of October.

 

Picked up takara sharkticon myself. Agree with all points but great to have a sharkticon. I do have the Hasbro one too. Both are good.

 

So I really like the way this turned out. Had to differentiate Wario Sweeps from the other Hasbro TR Sweeps that I own. I also really like the upturned mustache on the Takara Sweeps head alot more than I thought I would.

Wario mustache Sweep makes a great Lieutenant for Scourge.

Edit: Swapped some parts w/my TR Highbrow and added some spare Reprolabels to break up all the blue on the TR Scourge body.



And my Sharkticons finally have a Leader:

 

Bought my second LG45 Hot Rod yesterday.  

 

I'm doing the same. I only have two sharkticons though. Technically I have three fracas figures but only two scourges

 

Yeah I think it makes for a really nice hybrid between Legends Scourge and TR Scourge.

It ended up looking alot nicer than I thought it would.

 

Nice. Well the takara tr fig is scourge and the Hasbro one a sweep. Ill mess around with them and see how they look. Right now only takara scourge is on display

 

In my own mind, the hybrid sweep w/the upturned mustache is Scourge's Lieutenant.

I have Takara Scourge, Wario Scourge, and 4 regular Titans Return Sweeps. Looks really good.

With that said, I have to get another Highbrow for parts. The one I used for the Wario Scourge had two left hips. It doesn't affect the figure at all. But, it's there. You can see it in my pics.

 

I did the same partswap on a scourge and highbrow intending to get two legends sweep heads for non partswapped scourges as sweeps and the prtswapped scourge having the normal head and united fracas as scourge. I wanted to swap the elbows too, but I broke one scourge doing that. Oddly highbrows elbows came apart no problem

 

ill get kup and the sharkacons as soon as misfire and octane get in stock

 

Yeah I tried swapping the elbows too because I didn't like how blue the arms are.

But I didn't know how to remove the flat head pin that's holding Highbrow's elbow together. I tried using my soldering iron to heat up the pin but I ended up melting Highbrow's elbow plastic. Never did get that pin out.

 

I just used a pin punch and hammer, highbrows is easier to do because his forearms are thicker and not as likely to break, scourge has thin plastic near his elbows

 

I also wish reprolabels has done Grey stickers for scourges abdomen, those are the ko sharkticons so I don’t yet have my sweep heads unfortunately

 

Yeah wario scourge will be my sweep

 

I like those KO Sharkticons alot. Especially the clear one.

 

Yea, they’re pretty nice, have wrist articulation, include a gun and it boils down to the same price as hasbros for paint closer to takaras

 

I have a pin punch too but it wouldn't push the pin out by itself. That's when I jumped to the soldering iron.

I wish I would've tried using the pin punch in conjunction w/a hammer.

 

Just if you do it to scourge you may want to heat his elbows a bit first, they’re more fragile than highbrows

 

Welp just ordered two takara sharkticons to add to my chosen prime order, so my total sharkticons will be 5, tempted to add two hasbro ones to the horde as well haha plus my sweeps will get their new heads as well!
