Does anyone know if Classics Prime can hold a G1 Prime's gun and if Classics Magnus can hold a G1 Magnus's gun? I like their smokestack machine guns and all but I'd rather them have G1 guns if they can. Does anyone know if Classics Grimlock can hold a G1 Grimlock's sword and or gun?

If anyone has anything else to add in on the G1 Guns for Classics please let me know.

For the most part, yes they can. Some require fudging. Hand holes stayed pretty(loosely used term) standard.

Sweet. Can anyone else confirm this to be true? I'd really like to give my Classics some old school firepower instead of the new baby guns they have, like Grimlock and Rodimus. I know Astrotrain and new ones like Octane, Prowl and Sunstreaker have actual G1 looking guns and that makes me happy, just wish all the Classics would have gotten the same treatment.

I can't confirm at the moment if they will fit. But how cool would it be if one of the side line production companies out there would make a Classics weapon set

That's what I've been saying all along. We need Classics Weapon Packs, with things like shoulder cannons, laser pistols, rockets, energon swords, axes, maces and spears, sniper rifles, bombs and maybe some better arm guns for the Classics Seekers so they can aim forward without pushing their wings back.

In another thread we were discussing weapons for Classics.
Not all Classics have the same size holes in their hands.
While the Decepticon jets are able to hold many of the old school weapons and minicons, I guess others can't. I don't get why they made them like that. It's just stupid. Right now my Starscream is dual wielding


Also Powermaster Prime's big guns are awesome with these guys.
As I only have one I am constantly beaten on ebay every time I try to win some at a good price.

Sylus, I am all for weapon packs for all lines of Transformers. It's pretty sad that we have to get these weapons to upgrade our bots from
someone other than the actual manufacturer. Things like the Binaltech Arming set, the Cliffjumper upgrade. Why doesn't Hasbro see the desire for these things? For crying out loud. Why not offer them as an online only item? Then they don't have to worry about large stores
complaining they can't get rid of them.

Hasbro doesn't seem to understand the value of "Customer Satisfaction", I remember LOTS of GI Joe weapon packs which were also made by Hasbro, why can't they do the same thing for TFs? I'd buy as many as I could afford, it'd be worth it to have better guns for my Classics.

See one of my favorite things that Armada did was standardize the holes in the hands so every weapon could be swaped out. With the movie that kinda went by the way side, but in turn hands have been getting more detailed with fingers, and thats cool too.

Still if a bot does have a fist hand, with a weapon hole, I think it should have a standard size port. In reguards to this and figures with smaller hands, I give you the Armada Seekers. Those hands may have well just been rings!?!

Now I know the ongoing argument that Hasbro wont make add on accessory packs cause they wont sell.

My solution to that, make them Robot Point mail in extras

Not only will that make the fans happy, but it would increase sales because
A) people will buy figured just to get some extra points for the kick ass mail away parts that they otherwise couldn't get

B) people will buy more bots cause realy, do you wanna save an imperfect box. Wont it drive you mad knowing that the box you would normaly save is now flawed...

C) I know it will so more bots will be bought for mint sake.

There is a bright side though to the profeteering besides mail away stuff. If we're prompted to buy more bots, that means there will be less surplus for repaints, hence newer molds sooner

But you know what, it's a win win for everyone that would make us happy so they'll never do it.

I know for a fact that bumblebee and cliffjumper can use the predacon's guns also they can use power master primes and six shots guns as well.

im all for a weapons pack. i think that would only be a plus for people buying transformers. especially if the weapons were new designs with that classic G1 look.

Actually, I just had a play and I found that no-one can hold G1 Magnus's gun as the peg is oval, not round. The peg of G1 Prime's gun fits Classics hands but the handle behind the peg gets in the way.

Even G1 Magnus doesn't hold his gun very well - the peg is a bit too small for the hole!

classics Bumlebee/ cliffjumper can hold G1 swindles big gun as well .

And the BB/CJ mold can hold a Silverbold/Superion gun, as such:

It's a K.O. Silverbolt/Superion gun with the "wings" snipped off.

Classics BB has RID HighTower's small pistol, I had an extra and it's a perfect fit. Classics Jumper, I got the upgrade kit, now all I have to get is Classics Jumper
