Well, this isn't as easily available, but any of the Vehicons from Beast Machines are pretty much made to be drones too. If you want heavy weapons, try the tank drones.

Meh, that's just not how I do things... As far as I'm concerned, a G1 homage does not a Classics make. We haven't designated the Landcross components as makeshift Energon figures, have we?

Hmm, never thought of using a aquad of Tankors but then again he's gonna be tough to find. And man Energon Downshift just looks so sweet, I get all hyper just looking at him. Counterpunch those pics of your classics are making me drool. I hope I can get all the figures I need so I can make a weekly comic using the figures so I can post it on Seibertron for everyones enjoyment.
Edit: I think the Scrapmetals would look very menacing moving in swarms on Cybertron destroying everything in their path like a plague of locusts, Especially if they were being overseen by Transmetal Tarantulas and some version of Blackarachnia, maybe TM2 or BM version.

TFs for trade, let me know if you have any of the ones I want or if you're interested in the ones I have.

Yes, that one!!! (Though, re-paint would be minimal, right?)

I think he's close enough that it would be moot.

'Cept that Hasbro could issue him as "Classics Wheeljack" and probably make some more money. Especially if they could work out some sort of wing setup for him.
But, yes. If I had him, he wouldn't be Downshift. He'd be Wheeljack.

He got off the Wheeljack bandwagon and went with a COOLER name. 
But to be serious. Double A said he was suppose to be Wheeljack, they just couldn't use the name. However the Super Link version is infact named Wheeljack. Just like Cliffjumper is Sandstorm and Buckhead is Sprang. Oh and Shockblast is Laserwave.

Eh, it's not like Hasbro lost the rights to the name. It was mainly just the whole idiotic Armada Wheeljack situation biting them in the ass (Wheeljack becoming a 'Con because the name sounded "evil," FYI for the kiddies), and maybe an effort to keep yet another G1 name (Downshift).
They could've tried a bit harder.

You're completely right. I should have been a little more clear in what I was trying to say. There's always something name wise Hasbro rapes.
