    What parts would you want for him, specifically?

    Yeah, it's a mixed bag, but Prowl is the standout. I just hope they have a knockout set for Roadking next month.

    Okay this is interesting:

    + Prowl: Sad they didn’t have some Japanese police decals. Was really hoping they could make those. You could have a great set with all the other police cars.

    Dreads: About time they did this. But cool though.

    Bulkhead: This is bloody clever. I really like this. I may get hound for this. This is so cool. Love it.

    Autorooper: YEAH! YEAH! YO! YO! YOOOOOO! This is my dream! My fuckin’ dream dammit! Autorooper! So clever! And it works so well! I may just get one for Atari’s mech. But this is so cool.

    But for real, I’d pay good money for hasbro to make a hot rod from mirage and toyhax makes a set based off his KP Ford GT form.

    I'd love some kind of roof that covers his gappy exposed arms in botmode. As well as something for the backend so it's not just his feet sticking out.
    There's also a nice little hole filler set out there, but that alone doesn't quite doe what I want.

    Anyway, I've been really pleased with previous bits I've gotten from Toyhax (hound's roof, and Starscream's fin).

    Picked up a Hound for the Bulkhead conversion. I’m a sucker for anything Animated.

    I'm the opposite. I hate the third party heavy months, especially since Hasbro started their initiative of fucking up all their mainline figures with either bad stickers or battle damage. I mean, if you're the type of person who likes very G1-toy styled details on your 3rd MP Menasor, then sure, I can understand the frustration, but usually faction symbols are enough for any unofficial figure I get.

    The Autotrooper set got me to buy a Prowl. Pretty cool toy. The orange pylons are cool and iconic, but I can't help feel like the extra cost is going to stop a lot of people from army-building as many compared to if it was just a sticker set. I'm in for 1 right now but maybe I'll get more if they go on a sale (and I get a sale on a Prowl).

    DOTM Ratchet looks nice. Not sure if he's quite enough of an improvement to spend the bucks right now though. I think I need to pull out my Ratchet to really see the differences. Sometimes the pictures don't look like a huge improvement until you compare them directly. Pretty eager to see what they'll do for the 07/ROTF version.

    Idk... Bulkhead really needs to be big. Maybe not leader class, but at least voyager-sized. Not sure what exactly what toy one would use, but a deluxe Jeep boi like Hound doesn\'t do the guy justice imo.

    Hooray for them doing the Predaking upgrade set - I've talked to them about doing sets for the 3p add-ons and they said they will if there's enough demand - I'm REALLY hoping they'll do sets for the POTP Optimal Optimus upgrades, and the POTP/CW combiner upgrades - most notably the Dinobot and Abominus sets are in need of some matching stickers...

    I'm not that familiar with Autotroopers. A quick google search yielded me no results of an Autotrooper with orange pylons. The closest that I could find were the orange traffic cones for the kiss player version. Are they from a previous iteration?

    Same. I’m a fan of them when they were called autoroopers. I’ve never seen orange shoulder cannons. Unless they’re a reference to the safety cones which came with them and turned into kremzeek blasters.
