    That would be my choice for this trio. Artfire has a more dynamic styling, Inferno is blocky, solid and strong, and Grapple, um, well his specialty isn't combat.

    For Hauler, instead of a green recolor, I want someone to design a figure that had the same vehicle mode as Grapple, but transforms differently giving him a distinct robot mode.

    Yeah, Wrestle looks like he’s snacked on one too many energon treats. :p 

    Would love to have another company do a representation of Hauler. I wouldn’t mind getting the Ocular Max one and the Takara Artfire if they came across my way.

    Can't believe I uploaded this pic to a couple other threads and completely forgot the most logical thread to put it in.

    Mp44 KO with alternate face painted in the comic style (also added a bit of Photoshop filter to make him a little more comic bookish), MP10 the "real world" version of Prime, and TE01A cell shaded Prime as the toon Prime. Also, it's hard to tell with all the Photoshop going on, but the ark is @Bot Sculptor's Big Yellow School Bus (with a lot of grit and recoloring in photoshop and it also transitions into the cartoon version on the right). Had a lot of fun doing this pic.

    I know this may be a weird comparison, but I can see Hasbro making Throttlebots from this mold

    I still think the BumbleJump chassis would make better Throttlebots. Every one of them could be a reshell using the same transformation.

    And Goldbug is essentially already done. Just needs a new head and some new colors.

    MP-51 just showed up, so I figured I'd take a pic of all my Arcees.

    I know, and mostly by Fans Hobby, and I'd be over the moon if they (or anyone) did an MP-style Hero Prime.

    Right now I have FH's Powermaster Op, Godbomber, and Laser Op, I have MMC's Star Convoy on preorder, and I have multiple G1 Primes (MP-10, MS-01, TE-01, and a KO MP-44). I have a few things all coming out around the same time or I'd have bought FH's Machine Wars Op by now. When I do get around to picking it up I'll retake this picture with some 3P versions.
