    For those that order Reprolabels autobot symbols, which do you buy - the silver or white outline?

    I'm leaning towards white since that appears to be what Masterpiece Red Alert, Optimus Prime and Sideswipe are using.

    Normally white for more geewun. If a figure has a lot of silver on him in other places (like Generations Warpath), I may consider silver.

    White. Silver is reflective and thus looks ugly/too dark sometimes.

    Depends if you want it to pop use silver if you wanna stay mello use white. I like clear but it's useless on red bots.

    I use silver because I like shiney things. But are they still giving White Autobot sheets with orders? Because a couple weeks ago I got my order and they included white Autobot logos.

    I use white, silver and clear. It just depends on the bot and how it will look.

    I prefer silver, just me. Gives it that extra pop.

    I prefer silver; just feels a bit more special, plus it harks back to the old G1 toys. There are occasions when white is a better fit if a figure has a lot of white already, but I pretty much avoid clear altogether.

    I just recently bought a large symbol order and I have to say they are all equally good. Its better to have option so you can really decide right then and there with stickers on hand what will look better to you. For the MP in question though I say get the clear background white outline symbols. Metallic is a bit hard to see on red.

    Yeah, It's a good idea to have multiple options on hand, so I'd say if you've got the money, stock up on as many different types as you can. I even keep empty sticker sheets, as sometimes there's enough material left over from what was not actually ment to be stickers to do your own customization. For example, The sheet for Classics Grapple. It didn't come with hazzard stripes for the crane arm, but the G1 version had those stripes. So I cut what remained on the sticker sheet from around the stickers for his arms and shaped those into the crane arm stickers. Another example is the sticker sheets for some of the WST figures. On some of them, they put a "Reprolabels" logo on it, and in that was included a *tiny* Autobot logo. I haven't found anything that needs a logo that tiny yet, but I'm going to check to see if thay would be a good fit on those minis that come with FP Assaulter.

    If the figure isn't red, I actually prefer the clear back ones.

    I also like the outline insignias in silver or white. not all of my Autobots needs a red insignia. Just like not all of them need blue eyes.

    Silver... If it was good enough for G1, it's good enough for me.

    Silver for G1 figures, white for things that aren't.

    I usually use the clear back ones if the surface its going on is a bright color. If it's a dark color I find it doesn't look as good.
