    For years, I've wanted some official fiction to repurpose Evac as Blazemaster.

    The Treadbolt suggestion is interesting especially given that Expanse and Classics Treadbolt both have face coverings, Expanse with his visor and Treadbolt with his removable helmet.

    Very good call and well spotted!!

    I may have posted these before but there's 198 pages on this thread so far and I'm old...

    Titans Return Nautica with the Overboard Titanmaster as inner robot Submarauder...

    For G1 Sizzle, I propose two options: Universe Sideburn or Cybertron Swerve...

    I love the prospect of the core class combiner, but I want it to fit with my other dinobot, leader grimmy. Therefore, This is not sludge. This is a character I will call Smallneck. When I get slag, he will be known as Terry. They're the only two I plan to get to combine with weaponizers PXL_20230307_134759566.jpg

    Any suggestions for Core class hot rod and skywarp? Using them as smaller characters amongst my regular sized bots so if suggestion is smaller that's okay

    Skywarp as just a generic seeker scout. Name him something like longeye. As for hot rod... Screenshot_20230309-161839.png




    Speaking of core seekers, I only own starscreams when it comes to seekers. Therefore, I just use em all as starscreams special guard. The main starscream is flame toys, while all the rest are the screamer guard. PXL_20230304_232852397.jpg

    I didn't care for the Legends Seekers, but now I want Skywarp to customize him into Wind Sheer.

    Perfect timing, as with my last hobby haul I bought fluorescent green Gundam marker.

    Alright everyone, that Buzzworthy Tow-Line got me thinking about some stuff, so hear me out:

    Netflix Deep Cover, Buzzworthy Bluestreak, or BotCon 2011 Side Burn as Side Burn
    Clampdown, Cordon or Kingdom/ER Red Alert as Prowl
    Legacy or T30 Crosscut as Wildride

    BAM! You got the Autobot Brothers!

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for two generic little green transformers to stand for the green robots here. Any ideas?
    There was the green warpath ko but it's hard to find for a reasonable price these days

    I would just go for Thrilling 30 Centuritron, then you get three little green guys, all decently generic too
