    So, my take on this is that bonecrusher, like the constructions (heavy protoform), the dreads (soldier protoform), blackout (shock trooper protoform), and brawl (devastator protoform), shares a protoform with other decepticons, which Ima call the \"blitzkrieg protoform\". I see this in the same way that carbots often share similar car part placement (hot rod, bumblebee, drift, jazz), and therefore share a similar small protoform which I will choose to call the carbot protoform. Most transformers are built off a category of protoforms, and then have the chance to modify there outer plating in adolescence and onward. Some transformers however are built and modeled for a specific purpose, like Optimus/dragonstorm/dinobots who were designed from the ground up by quintessa to do her bidding, or devcon who literely just there to shoot everything.

    Thus, from this intense head cannon of mine, I like to think that this is not in fact bonecrusher, and is a completely different bot named Sleepercell, who is specifically tasked with gaining human intell from directly after 07 to the begining events of AOE, where he is hunted by lockdown and currently has unknown wherebouts

    People might be wondering why does it say ROTF when bonecrusher wasn’t in the movie. D6509C7F-146D-4CDF-8D48-D326479DA2DC.jpeg

    I\'m in the camp of people that never got my hand on the original. At the time I was being selective, before I became an SS completionist. So this fella will be mine. Ironically the same thing happened with SS DOTM leader Megatron (more so because I hated that mold), but I ended up picking up his universal Studios Grey deco version. So it\'s becoming a soft habit of mine to score emo cons instead of their originals lol. I\'m not mad at that.

    Ya know, there\'s not much I wouldn\'t give for some repaints of past SS molds WITH modifications. I know there is literally a 0% chance of this, but it would mean the world if they repainted Decepticon Brawl into nest colors AND actually gave him ankle tilts. I\'m constantly on the brink of chucking that figure into the next dimension because of how much I hate it\'s horrible lack of ankle tilts. It should be a federal offense not to add ankles to a character with such massive feet. Because of that, he absolutely refuses to look epic or even moderately dynamic on my shelf. 
    same goes with ironhide, just to a slightly lesser degree.

    While I prefered the N.E.S.T colours over the original. I gonna skipped this one. Transformation look complicated and I'm not that attach to that character.

    I think I'll wait for this to be discounted. I just hope in the future there'll be more SS repaints that make a lil more sense.

    Well no, you can tell this figure is molded in gray, it’s not gray paint over top of the original molded color.

    Ironically the gold is what kills the mold imo. It might just be the digi as this is literally the 2nd time I have done a Bayformers digi. Anyway the colors I was trying to base the digi off of was the ROTF Voyager Ironhide. f77821efe36a4409962901e6c9250966lg.png N.E.S.T Ironhide.png
    I might have to try and remake this since I really am not happy with the digi I made before.

    On a side note for some reason the recolor made him look like a darker black instead of gray for some odd reason.

    I'm probably gonna get crap for this but IDK why Ironhide in blue just looks weird to me.
    This is a hot take but I prefer your digibash NEST Ironhide over the actual release.

    Yeah the blue looks weird to me as well. Maybe for a new character. Steelhead? Ironsteel?

    Thanks for liking the digi. I personally don't like it but I'm glad others do.

    Edit: Autocorrect came up with a better name. I meant Steelhide.

    The unpainted wheels kinda bug me seeing next to normal Bonecrusher (which it normally doesn't but the rims matching the body would work well here too). Otherwise though I like these colors on the mold.

    No, cause it goes against the overall theme of why this exists.
