    You know what I hate about this set? NOTHING. I could nitpick but otherwise it's a home run as much as I don't like that Arcee mold. Maybe I'm just enamored by the box art... but it all comes together nicely. They'll look great with Orion and a few Guardians.

    As I've said in the past, in my personal continuity Dion was rebuilt into Sentinel Prime but the whole Megatron attack left him heavily traumatized and turned him into a complete asshole obsessed with power.

    Seeing the screen shots of Dion\'s alt mode, I\'m thinking a really thorough retool of Huffer might have made a lot of sense. You\'d have to change the cab shape and the arms and such, but that could be a reasonable option.

    They look nice enough. I just wish that Legacy elita was a voyager instead of a deluxe. Just doesn’t seem much of an upgrade for elita if she’s the same height as “erial” unlike optimus who’s much taller than orion. Oh well.

    She never did get as much of a size upgrade as her Beau did.

    I feel like this needed to come with Energon Cubes.

    Ideally, we'd someday get Elita as a small Voyager...

    ... And on that subject, Sentinel Prime (all versions, really) should be a Voyager.

    I would hope they don't force Sentinel into a deluxe.

    I honestly think a GREAT contender for a more cartoon version of Elita would be Siege Springer.

    New upper chest, shoulders, head, rear fender, cockpit, weapons.

    Some of the bits would end up in the wrong place on her altmode. Her arms and chest would be reversed compared to her animation model but there isn't a great way to address that without faux parts or crazy engineering.

    Overall, I think she'd look very much like a faction leader. Replacing the chest and shoulders with something smaller and curvier on Springer would sell it as a fembot.

    That Legacy Prime Arcee mold is straight up poop, but I love how it looks as this reskin/retool. It's very strong design & execution.

    Dion looks pretty good. The Kup mold really fits him, I'm liking the figure's appearance a lot. Glad his limbs can still detach because I plan on doing a bit of painting so it's easier to remove his legs. I'm also gonna replace Dion's left hand with a custom "replacement" hand; I'm trying to give him a vibe to fit in with the Legacy Junkions.

    Ariel/Erial looks alright. I don't like that headsculpt, it just doesn't feel good on that mold imo. She continues the trend of the "crop tops" appearance of the Legacy Arcee mold, and yeah she has an exposed midriff, pretty cool. The bike mode is awesome, reminds me of G1 Override bike mode.

    Can someone photoshop Ariel’s face so that she has a shorter chin? I’m curious to see what that would look like.

    Lol I was messing around, however, sounds like a fun idea to just keep repainting kup a billion times to make infinite canon fodder for one specific episode. Maybe a g1 drop kick finally
