    Yep, MegaMorphs Hulk is probably the best recommendation yet. It may not be the most elegant toy in the world, but it's the closest visual resemblance.

    I've recently got Energon Insecticon Chromhorn Forest Type A who I am using as classics Barrage. I was going to use CW Chop Shop and a POTP Kickback repainted as Ransack, but they would be too tiny and light to go with Insecticon as a team. Are there any moulds out there of a similar size and mass to the Energon insecticon that could be used for the other Deluxe Insecticons?

    I repurposed the original cybertron Metroplex figure as Megalo Prime. Little brother to G1 Metroplex, who bare the matrix way before Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime. Who became lost in space before finding his way to earth.

    Due to his chonk factor, and overall unlikelyness of being easy to sell i am keeping POTP Rodimus and relocating him to my AEC shelf. Not sure how and when he would relate to energon Roddys story but i think he might be beefy enough to fit in.

    I think he'd make a good Armada Scavenger.

    That's quite clever, works really well. I made my FOC Air Raid an original Decepticon character, but your idea is sharp!

    I always felt if there was ever fiction where Prowl became a Prime, Checkpoint could serve as inspiration for his character model.

    Okay so for some context Beta is a prime in my headcanon, I have her pre-matrix form sorta figured out but are there any voyager molds that could work well as a female prime, besides POTP Elita?
