Does anyone know how to distinguish a KO DIA Commander from a real one? I think the one I've been looking at might be a KO

 

Check this thread. It may help.

Any chance someone could post some pictures of FP Munitioner with some earthrise figures? Maybe CW Swindle too? Been considering picking him up as a classics swindle, though he does seem rather small

 

Found him with Animated Swindle. He's pretty small.

 

He’s the size of an Energon Scout figure. Great figure though. I’ve got the Warcry version and love it (and Flameblast).

 

He is a cool figure, just very back-heavy with the back of the vehicle hanging out/off there. Still a very cool little figure.

 

My Steelcore just came and in and he is absolutely delightful. His fist holes are irritatingly small, so he can't use much outside of what he comes with but he is still great. I do feel like I need someone for him to fight though. Right now I'm thinking Beastructor would be a good fit, but I'll have to save and hunt for that. Any suggestions for someone to oppose him? Or, for that matter, any suggestions for weapons he can actually hold?

 

I had steelcore facing off against MT’s Thunder Erebus for a while, since that figure also had what was essentially a Soleron with it. MT Striker Noir and / or Nemesis Battle Tanket also good choices.

I also had Thunder Erebus backed by the Function-X Decepticon Headmasters as a RiD tribute, and Fx Code Virus. They looked good together.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking about going for Code Virus as his opponent but I felt that he looked a little scrawny going up against Steelcore. Thunder Erebus isn't a bad idea but I don't think I want to put him against someone so... recognizable I guess? It feels to me like Steelcore should be fighting someone else really obscure, such is why I think the Fansproject version of Monstructor would be a good fit... if I could find one. Either way I don't have the funds right now and I'm just working on a plan for the future.

 

The fans hobby monsterbots, while in a different scale, might also work well if you’re looking for something with that aesthetic.

 

Insect ninja

 

That's not a half bad idea. Maybe I'll just start focusing on getting a bunch of figures who become monsters for Steelcore and co. to fight

 

Casualty CA-01 Warcry

Casualty CA-02 Flameblast

Both the stand alone repaints for the FP Swindle and Blast Off are on sale at BBTS. IMHO... 55$ for these great scouts is worth it.

The armors for Classics Prime and Magnus are also cheap at 15-20$. Not for everyone though... Came out real late in the game.

 

munitioner is fucking awesome. Keeps the G1 blockiness but with a ton of expressive articulation

 

This is how I arm my SteelCore. FP Sidearm and Blesser along with the replacement katana that came with the original MT Battle Tanker.

 

And if you’ve got a bunch of c-clip weapons there are a total of 6 attachment points on the trailer

 

I'm weak.

Welcome additions to the Legends crew.

 

Just wanted to share a few more pics of weapon options for SteelCore...

First one is the floppy sword that came with Drift



Next up are from the Infinity Warfare blue set. Parted out or fully combined (in the third pic)




And finally, the sniper rifle that came with the reissued FP Bruticis set.




As far as I can remember all of these fit just fine in SC’s smallish fist holes. The Infinity Warfare handles may have been the snuggest first out of all of them.
