    The Siege Jetfire is much better than that DaCa Masterpiece. He looks much better in jet mode.

    He just needs some better hands.
    Didn't whoever it was that made the chromed sword for Bludgeon (can't remember) make one for Banzai-Tron, as well?

    This might be hard for many here to do, but...

    Could anyone put up some pics of any Legends figures next to their G1 incarnations?

    Thanks

    Dunno. I got the Bludgeon with the Headrobots add-on kit as a set. Banzaitron’s sword blades are already painted, where as Bludgeon’s entire swords were unpainted off white plastic which made the set much more interesting.

    Head Robots! That's who it was!

    Anyway...I hated that flexible rubbery plastic the original swords came in.

    I just wish HR made a set it Banzai-Tron colors. I don't think they did though...

    I have a few G1 and legends, but I haven't gone out of my way to photograph them together.

    Here's one.

    I basically display all my G1 along side their MP counterparts … sadly don’t have many Legends figures… I have samplings of BW forward on display, so I do have some of the modern era figures if there’s anything you’re wanting a shot of :)  I have every US G1 figure and MOST of the foreign stuff too, and I’ll gladly pull anything off the shelves and take photos for you!

    Is that Billy shelves with the extra add-on top pieces? I have a similar (but way less awesome) setup with the big guys on the bottom and was just thinking about getting glass shelves for the shelf above, that looks great! I can't believe all the Ft Dinobots fit in that top add-on, I might have to re-organize!

    YES! Regular Billy’s with the add on top piece and the glass shelves you can get through IKEA …

    Here’s another shot of them in robot mode before I rearranged some shelves where I was able to get them side by side with a little creativity with Slag and Snarl’s “wings”

    Just had to tell you (probably again) that you easily have the best Transformers display I've seen. I could look at pictures of your collection all day.

    WOW. Not what I wanted, but that's an amazing display.

    Basically what I wanted was someone who could compare 3P legends with their original versions to see how far things have come.

    I could do that myself, switching between tabs, but it would be easier just to look at one pic for each character.

    Okay?

    I was hoping that there was somebody who *likes* taking pics of their collection, and would do as I asked.

    It's hard to judge scale looking at 2 different pics in 2 different tabs, and I don't have EVERYTHING, like some of you do.

    @Powerbomb Here's some I did of MFT Astrotrain along with the G1 version back in the day.

    [Edit] Soundwave and Megatron.
    Starscream (it's the old MFT version, not one of the newer versions)
    That's all I've got for now. Like I said, I'll try to get set up to take photos again soon and then I'll do comparisons with all the characters I have.

    Thanks!

    Now I want that Astrotrain. The *MFT one, not the G1. I had that, it was good for its time, but now he's only good for nostalgia.

    *What's that one called, btw? It's 3p name?

    Screw it, I'll just look up MFT on show-z.

    MS-26 Iron Sky. Also I edited my previous post to add in a few more posts I've shared over the years with G1 and legends figures.
