So I have several of the Siege Micromasters, and they're cool figures and go well with my Fort Max and Trypticon, but I'd like some figures of the main G1 cast such as Optimus, Megs, Ultra Magnus, etc, to pose with them. Although I would normally only buy Transformers that actual transform, in this case I am willing to make an exception. I was looking at some of the Heroes of Cybetron line on eBay. Non-transforming, but like I said, I can live with that for this purpose. I see there are some legends class figures, but not much in the way of ones that I want here. For example - I can't find a proper Ultra Magnus in that size, only a white OP redeco. Any recommendations for this sort of thing?
Star Convoy came with a Micro Master Hot Rod. There's also the WSTF figures. worlds smallest transformers | eBay
Idk, but legends third party might just work for you. Unfortunately, I don't know of any good figures of the main cast that are small. However, I have heard that the World's smallest transformers work great with titans. However, since they are downscaled toy molds, they will do nothing for cartoon accuracy.
The HoC line is great, and perfect for cartoon accuracy. Luckily they aren't that pricey either, outside of some of the variants or rare ones.
There are also some little legion-class (if that's right name) guys that you could find at Dollar General stores for a few bucks. They are close to micromaster size. And they transform.
Those are the older Legends before Scouts became Legends (more or less) and were called Legions. Universe Classics 2.0 Legends Autobots Archives - Transformers Toys - TFW2005 Universe Classics 2.0 Legends Decepticons Archives - Transformers Toys - TFW2005 Awesome little figures I would recommend over nearly everything else for this scale. Some characters aren't represented, but the HoC line fills the holes.
I'd go with the Legion/Legend class figures of yore. If you want an Ultra Magnus, go for the Titanium Classic style version.
I'd definitely recommend the World's Smallest Transformers. There are quite a few third party additions to the line... Optimus Prime Ultra Magnus + armour Prowl Silverstreak Jazz Sideswipe Red Alert Bumblebee Deep Cover Clampdown Tiger Tracks Tracks Blaster Defensor Superion Delta Magnus The Dinobots Afterburner Nosecone Megatron Soundwave Ravage Starscream Thundercracker Skywarp Acid Storm Sunstorm Dirge Thrust Ramjet G2 Starscream G2 Ramjet G2 Breakdown Motormaster Breakdown Dragstrip Bruticus Devestator Soundblaster Shockwave Sixshot Nemesis Prime + black Magnus armour Most of them aren't too expensive.
Thanks for the recommendations! Still looking around at some of these. I particularly like the WST and Newage ones. Not entirely sure how much money I want to drop on this particular project yet, so I'll mulling it over. I may get the Newage Shockwave (Cyclops) figure regardless though. As odd as it is to see Shockwave with an earth car alt-mode, for some reason I am really liking how it integrates with his bot mode.
