Looks very nice! Sadly, I am not crafty in the slightest. My attempt would end in something like plastic vampire teeth, if I was lucky enough I might bloody them and myself with the exacto knife in the process.

 

Feet fillers I see someone doing down the line and should be straight-forward. Wrist covers on the other hand, I really don't see a simple add-on happening unless the hand is also replaced with a slightly smaller one and the cover panels will likely not be flush.

Yes, he needs front dentures and screw hole fillers.

 

Nice, gundam arms?

 

A removable filler piece would be the simple add on. It would work, just not be the most elegant solution. The elegant solution would be an entire hinged panel that covered the whole inner part of his forearm. Of course this would make his forearm a little bit thicker and require a longer screw near the elbow joint in addition to paint matching.

 

Yeah, if you're not too concerned about partsforming, a wrist filler would be easy. I'd prefer one that transforms with him, but that seems like a hard thing to easily do. Then again, I was surprised by the ingenuity in the Sunstreaker and Wheeljack kits--they managed to cover the gaps in the legs effectively while still transforming with the figure.

 

Bingo. Good eye.

 

Finally found Scourge; specifically, one Scourge, sitting among five Hot Rods. You love to see an army builder get shortpacked, don't you folks.



Anyway, having sampled the whole line, my official position on Studio Series 86 is that the existence of the line is comically dumb, like devoting a whole toyline to the phrase, "a-ha but technically," but Scourge, Grimlock, and Cyclonus are so good I don't particularly care.

(Aide whispers in my ear) Right, yes. Cyclonus was in Kingdom. (shakes head slightly, sighs) Come on man.

 

Shortpacked, yes. Sweeps also incoming.

 

Despite breaking a tab on the first transform (arm pipes), and some fussy shoulders, Hot Rod is very much a great figure.

 

Good call since all signs point to there being a Scourge retool labeled as a Sweep. I only bought 1 as well but have previous molds of the character that I already use as his Sweeps. So this rumored one would have to be 1 heck of an effort to make me troop build even more:

 

Does anyone here have Legends Blurr? If so, could you do a side by side comparison with the SS86 Blurr? Or know of a pic that has already? Please and thank you.

 

Not mine, but here's one I found:



Here's Kup too, just in case:

 

THANK YOU!   Looks like I'll be looking for a Legends Blurr to buy. SS86 ain't cuttin' it for me.

 

Here’s one I posted to Radicons with a couple SS86 Blurrs I modified (one with a re-sculpted and repainted face, one with TR Blurr’s head):

 

Thank you! Yeah, I think Legends is where I'm going for Blurr. I don't hate SS86 by any means, but the TR/Legends mold is a bit smaller (in terms of girth/size), the headsculpt looks better and he has his shield. This one just doesn't tick all of the boxes for me. His transformation isn't fun, either. Shame Hasbro made their Blurr such an odd color, otherwise I wouldn't have to rebuy a figure I already own.

 

Grimlock comparisons: SS86 (modded), POTP, TR, Pretender Classics, G2

 

(nodding approvingly)

 

That zit’s gonna leave a mess on the medicine cabinet mirror...
