I don't know if it's just lack of sleep, poor problem solving skills or that I'm just slow. For whatever reason I cannot seem to make heads or tails of putting together a fairly accurate Classics Superion using the FansProject add on set. I have both releases of the jets and the regular kit. I'd appreciate a rundown of what you've got and possibly pictures. The set up I want is based on G1 Firefight(right arm), G1 Slingshot(left arm), G1 Skydive (right leg) and G1 Air Raid(left leg). I'd appreciate the help and any pointers. I'm baffled as to why I never bothered to try to cobble something together that resembled G1 a little more.

I think I have mine out right now, I'll try and snag a pic later.

Cool thanks. Here's what I'm thinking for the arms. ROTF Airazor as Slingshot and the left arm. Energon Windrazor as Firefight and the right arm.

I do it as RotF Silverbolt as the center, RotF Air Raid for the left arm, RotF Airazor for the right arm, Energon Sky Shadow for the left leg, and Energon Terradive for the right leg. I use the first version of the Crossfire set, an abdomen filler from Shapeways that has thrusters and allows for hip posability, and a KO G1 Superion head. I wasn't trying to get G1 accuracy but get a good overall look as a Gestalt in the back of my Autobots display.

Could you show some pics? I'm interested in this abdomen filler thing. Is it still available?

Here is the seller's page. On page 3 you will find the start of the ab fillers. There are 4 versions.

This is the abdomen filler I picked. Does exactly what it's supposed to: fills in the huge gap in his guts. Silverbolt's nosecone tabs in solid as a rock too. Solves all the sturdiness issues.
This is the first way I display Superion on the shelf (Silverbolt and Drag Strip for any needed scale reference):


I just changed it to this but I'm not sure if I'll keep it like that for too long:


And hey, it could be worse. It could have Unicron parts...

Zod, that second option looks amazing!
I guess I'll have to get myself one of those filler pieces as well and that head as well, that just looks boss.
Does the head attach easily?

I recall I liked the paint apps for the ROTF release and I bought it just after I bought the upgrade set. I already had the Energon Aerialbots but I remember after using the ROTF set it just didn't seem to hold perfectly at certain points. I can't explain in detail but in the end the Energon Aerialbots worked perfect! Hope things work out for you Flux Convoy!

The head is a KO G1 Superion head and it just sits on the normal Silverbolt head. It fits about as well as the Protector's does on Hot Rod's. I don't think it's any bigger than the original G1 Superion helmet. I just plain don't the combined head it came with!
