    Those are the Takara Legends releases of those figures. The heads are accurate to the Headmasters series.

    Correct, these are the Takara LG ones.

    However, Weirdwolf is a mixture of a few things:

    LG Weirdwolf body & legs
    TR Weirdwolf arms (I like the Decepticon badge on the upper shoulders)
    TR head with the Fix-it FI-01 face plate (the white matched better than the Takara one)

    I ended up with the Fix-it set for Cerebros and figured I'd see what it would look like. I have another set of the Fix-it face plates to turn TR versions into the Japanese Headmaster style if anyone is interested.

    G1 Cliffjumper was the first Transformer toy that I ever got as a kid.

    At least with the T30 figure, he's the right size and has his glass gas gun as well as a Targetmaster. There's no parts-forming here, other than his weapons.

    I wish that mold had gotten a new head sculpt (and didn’t have the OG WFC chest) - its a really quality little figure, and the arm transformation is really cool.

    i feel like as lauded as t30 is, the legends are really underappreciated. they really helped kick off nu-generations with a bang n optimus n bumblebee were both stellar little toys that set the tone for what to expect from the price point.

    Siege Jetfire is still the best of the lot, IMHO, but I love all my CHUG Jetfires. :cool:

    Definitely looks the part although I prefer the size of the T30 version. ...and the classics version is pretty great too.

    Me too buddy, me too... :)  The Micromasters just don’t have the same “umph” as the old legends.

    I'd misplaced TR Megatron's cannon, so I'd given him Siege Megatron's cannon as a substitute. Well, when searching for train stuff today I found the cannon.

    So I figured I could give Siege Meg's cannon back.

    TR Megs had other ideas.
