I've had an idea for a G1 Season 2.5 display. I'm using Classics/Universe 2.0/Generations/RTS molds. I want Autobots from those molds in decos other than those of G1 character appearing on the G1 series. So, Botcon 2010 Rapido would work but BIS Hot Rod wouldn't. These characters are aboard a vessel sent to find lost Autobots from the Great War. This would take place separate from the events of G1 but in the same continuity. Not all of the figures I'm planning on using have been released or I Haven't purchased them yet. Crew of the Ark Class Autobot Vessel: Freedom Valiant Maximus - United Ultra Magnus - Second in Command to Optimus, stayed behind on Cybertron, reunited off screen with Earth based season 1 and 2 characters, events in this continuity take place before the events of TFTM '86. Special assignment to seek out lost Autobots across the galaxy. Special commission as Captain of the Freedom. Orion Major - Generations Combat Hero Optimus Prime - First Officer Botcon 2010 Rapido TFCC Sideburn Botcon 2010 Scorch Universe 2.0 Treadbolt HFTD Tomahawk United Stepper Botcon 2012 SG Tracks Henkei Strafe - Lbsammills51 United Artfire - Lbsammills51 RTS Deep Dive - Lbsammills51 TFCC Dion - Lbsammills51 United and Generations Air Raid - as different characters - Lbsammills51 Botcon 2012 Kickoff I need more Autobots for the crew. Any ideas? Nothing too out there in florescent colors. Shattered Glass in traditional Autobot type colors are ok. But, nothing that looks like an evil bot. So no SG Rodimus.
What about... SG Treadshot (the Jazz redeco/remold) RtS Deep Dive United Artfire (when that comes out) Henkei Strafe (repurposed as a different character, since he doesn't look that much like G1 Strafe anyways) TFCC Dion If you don't mind Cybertronian modes, FoC Air Raid (either the Hasbro or Takara version) could be repurposed as someone else.
I really like a few of your ideas. SG Treadshot (the Jazz redeco/remold) - don't really want to use Cons. not big on reprolables on my exclusives. However I love that mold and character. RtS Deep Dive - Adding United Artfire (when that comes out) - Adding Henkei Strafe - Added TFCC Dion - Added Air-Raid - I could get by with adding both United and Hasbro. There is enough differences in the paint apps.
