    Good question. One I'm debating with myself. I gave Azalea a white backed symbol to help the red stand out from the pink. It's not toon accurate but I like it. Even the official MPs don't seem to have a real point to how they choose what type of symbol they use.

    I plan to use one without the outline. On Apache I used a red only symbol. I like the way it looks, but to each their own.

    I bought FT's version after selling off Big Spring. I have to say that the pre-production shots of Saltus didn't do it justice. What an amazing looking figure. If I wasn't slowly shutting down my TF collecting, I'd probably seriously consider turfing Apache... or at least just getting Saltus.

    The only clear-backed labels I have are the landscaped logos, but that was clearly a bad idea...

    So I went with a silver-backed logo. Much better...

    I got some gold-outlined autobot logo. Thinking that might work best with the yellow and green.

    Just got done transforming him. I think the biggest two surprises are how intuitive the transformation is and his weight. This figure has a ton of die cast.

    Love all the praise this guys getting ! Apache was in my crosshairs for the longest time till I came across this thread a few weeks ago. I’ll be picking up Saltus on Tuesday . Looking forward to a video review as well . Hopefully soon .

    heads up that this guy will need lots of tightening , just open those screw cover and work with all the screw. Especially the feet. It will be much better

    Alex does the core structure shapes and transformation design of all the oxmax stuff far as I'm aware. Maybe a few exceptions here n there. But yeah safe bet Saltus is also another of his.

    The face on the toon v. on Saltus is so good. It totally evokes the friendly yet mature face that I remember from the movie.
