    I ended up getting Studio Series Dropkick from a family member for Christmas, and since I made my own Dropkick I'm not gonna use him as that. So, I decided that just to repurpose him as Blue Bacchus. It works good enough for me. I think they'll be close enough in size to work well.

    Hook was also the name of a Constructicon.

    Also, I’ve repurposed the three Blendtrons as Unicron’s heralds in the Marvel comics. They would keep their Beast Wars names though, not be renamed.

    So, I saw that the Reprolabels kit for POTP Nemesis Prime has M.E.C.H logos. I then remembered that the figure has a spot for a Titan Master in the chest. I'm gonna use the translucent Megatronus Prime Master as Silas, who's gonna be Nemesis Prime's equivalent of Hi-Q.

    Translucent Megatronus as Silas.

    Merry Christmas.

    The new SS Crankcase as Dreadbot, you might still be able to score some tiny decorative Christmas lights.

    I'm gonna give him some proper paint, get rid of his seperate robot modes entirely, get rid of those small arms hanging off his body and finally make a chair out of some Lego so I can do this.
