    I bought this custom articulated version of Powermaster Optimus Prime a few years ago. I would be willing to sell him.

    Thanks. I've recently been toying with the idea of using one of these guys as my classics inferno. I think that size would work.

    Why not just buy the Classics Inferno? Heck of an awesome mold!

    I've got him (and grapple). Great mould but thinking about maybe something a little more g1 like for inferno. Mmc, the official mp, something like that maybe.

    To keep on topic, i like movie optimus, and the tlk voyager is a figure i truly love. Even before i started customising it, there's just something about that mould i love.

    Glad to help.

    It is a great mold in it's own right but personally I always loved the G1 look with the 'collar'. My first Inferno toy was the Actionmaster and his lack of collar just didn't seem right. Kind of like Hot Rod without his spoiler.

    Soundwave.

    Favorite? MP TT Soundwave, until that FT version comes out and I take a look at it.

    Favorite Character: Ratchet

    Favorite Version of Said Character: MP Ratchet. He's not perfect, but he's about as close to a perfect figure as we have gotten thus far. It only took several years to get one with the actual G1 ambulance alt mode and a pretty close to screen accurate robot mode (complete with an actual head!). That being said, I do like they included the toy style sled to store the extra accessories.

    3rd: Overlord
    While I like the recent Titans Return and Takara Legends versions, in my opinion, nothing can compare to the original G1 figure.

    2nd: Deathsaurus
    I go back and forth between Overlord and Deathsaurus as my second favorite character. But today, thanks to my newly acquired second Deathsuarus, he takes the number 2 spot. Unfortunately, the other official versions are lacking in my opinion, so I'm hoping he finally sees a new official toy sometime during the WFC line. A commander class Deathsaurus would be sweet.

    1st: Shockwave
    The only logical choice. It's a tie for me on which is my favorite between G1 and WFC: Siege. Growing up, I had Galactic Man as opposed to an official Shockwave, so I have a special connection to that figure and the new Siege Galactic Man version really brought me back to that figure.

    Runner up figure for Shockwave: MP-29+

    Since day one, its always been Optimus Prime. I have a pretty extensive collection of Optimi, but my favorite is a 2 way tie between 84' original and 88' Powermaster Optimus Prime. Specifically the Takara C-307 Super Ginrai ( a.k.a. better version of 88' Powermaster Prime.) I have the Hasbro Powermaster in my pic because my original C-307 is staying in box and I'm working on getting a reissue for displaying.

    Carnivac... *crys*

    Computron: unite warriors.

    Starscream: earthrise.

    Ultra Magnus: like carnivac he's not had a figure really live up to what he could be but at least he had other figures.
