    I posted this over in toy discussion, but this is probably the better place to post.

    In short, we've got 4(?) different base molds from this figure (excluding blades vs hooks and such):
    ROTF Leader
    Buster
    Striker
    Jetwing

    We also have tons of accessories. I've bought a lot of them but haven't had the ability (read: space) to connect and display as of yet and have lost track of what works with what. Asked another way, which upgrade sets are not universally compatible and need a certain prime as the base?

    UFO Jetwing add ons
    FWI jetfire
    FWI-4
    Cubex guns and stacks
    Etc.

    Thanks!

    Edit: also, are there certain upgrades that can't be used together even though you might think they could?

    FWI-3 and FWI-4 have been shown with oil tanks intact, so all versions should work.

    The original Jetwing OP from DOTM had removable oil tanks (from the Buster mold), and I think the UFO was based on that backpack, so any OP based on the Buster, or if you installed the 3rd party Buster mod, it should work.

    Can we go over the differences in these really quick?

    RotF leader has non-removable oil tanks
    Buster has removable oil tanks
    Striker I am unfamiliar with, what are his differences?
    Jetwing has removable oil tanks and a new abdomen.

    Is that correct?

    I've used the FWI-3 Jetfire kit with the original and the DotM Jetwing Primes.
    The Jetwing add-on will not work with the original Prime because the oil tanks get in the way.
