    I'm still looking for SG bots. I'd really like to find a Rodimus and Cliffjumper that scale well with the MP SG Optimus.
    I went with the ACE "Thumper" Cliffjumper and Rodimus Unicronus but I'm not too happy with their hight next to Optimus.
    Would anyone know off hand good replacements and where I could find a SG Megatron?
    Thanks in advance!
    (End goal is to recreat the first few pages of SG in stop motion. Specifically when Rodimus finds Cliffjumper to when we meet SG Optimus)

    Shattered Glass is tough especially at MP scale. You're probably going to just have to make customs.

    I really like your stopmtion idea, but sadly, the ONLY SG related 3P MP stuff is the KFC Shattered glass Blaster and his tapes.

    MMC has done a Shattered Glass Drift and Tarn, unfortunately they're both expensive Con exclusives now.

    DX9 did a Shattered Glass version of their Rodimus that is very good too.

    Even though it’s a bit large for MP, I go ahead and throw MMC’s Glit/SG Ravage (Doccat) into the SG MP list as well. Which brings it to.... MP SG Prime, DX9 Terror (SG Rodimus), KFC SG Transistor and tapes, MMC SG Ravage, aaaaand.... that’s about it. Not much in the way of SG MP stuff. I guess you could sort of throw Road Rage in as SG Tracks, but the remolding makes her pretty clearly her own character.

    It’s a shame Maketoys never did an SG repaint (or any other repaints) of their Cybertron Starscream figure, because that would have worked alongside them as well.

    Ooh ok, Dx9 Terror - That could work. Would the Dark Shuraking work for Grimlock?
    I wis the KFC line had more SG

    Mmc Medic or whatever she's called (Paradron medic) makes for a good SG Arcee, mp Road Rage is Tracks SG colours, dx9 Terror is a solid SG Rodimus. Other than that the already suggested Glit for an SG Ravage and KFC SG Blaster.

    Or if you want to try your hand at a custom project, Final Victory did a three minibot set of Huffer, Warpath and Brawn which are easy to disassemble, cheap and the plastic takes paint fairly well. Their SG colour schemes are pretty simple so doing a custom using those three would be easy if you want a simple project.

    Oh, you know, since SG Ironhide and SG Bluestreak use their Diaclone color schemes, I guess you could also include that Voodoo Potion Stealth Ironhide and MP Blue Bluestreak.

    And depending on how big you like your Constructicons, maybe TFC Perseus would kinda work there too? Though I think of him as more Generations-scale myself.

    Going with this and others.
    Dark Shuraking came in today so I've got my Grimlock.
    I ordered Energon Megatron for my SG Megs. Going to need to paint and sculpt his head, but it's a leader class so should scale with Optimus.

    I just picked up the Rodimus Unicronus and I've got the Toyhax set on the way, outside of that there's not much in the way of SG to get ahold of. The design isn't the best but it fits significantly better as a burly SG Rodimus rather than a chunky regular Rodimus. IMG_20200516_180610.jpg

    That's the Rodimus I went with too. I think he's a little big in mustache form and too short without his "armor". What can ya do though. It's funny because I also have a pre-order for the toyhax version, but I think he's legends scale. Which Megatron do you have posed there? It's pretty damn close to SG, needs his wings and shoulder cannons but those could be modded on.

    Nice Megatron! Which Galvatron is that a custom of?

    We need more SG Megatron figures, it’s such a nice subtly attractive color scheme.

    It is the TFCon LA (March 2019) Custom Class figure from the Open & Play Big Cannon (OS retool of Voyager TR Galvatron), or a custom copying that.

    TFcon Los Angeles 2019 Customizing Class figure revealed

    As others have said, MMC Doccat makes a great SG Ravage (I got one for sale with the cage if you're looking).

    I bought a second Doccat hoping someone will do a replacement head for SG Ravage. Swapping the paws is probably more work than I want to do.

    That gives me a good idea for a project to work on this summer. I didn't think about the replacement parts to make him more like his SG counterpart.
