The beast hunters version is closer to the size of the warrior class, but would require a ton of tooling to get all the steampunk beast huntery bits off.
It's a good idea, but A: as you say, there's way too much Beast Huntery stuff on there, and B: my previous experiences with that godawful marbled plastic they used during the BH era have not been pleasant. I'm not sure if the plastic Warrior Strongarm is made of is much better but it can't be much worse than that...stuff.
As for RID Voyager Bulkhead, whilst I like the idea of a Voyager class fembot, both Voyager Bulkheads are a bit too...portly for my liking. I mean I like women with a bit of armour plating on their chassis, but not quite THAT much.
Thanks for the advice though!
To be honest I'm probably going to try and get a Strongarm for cheap when the line goes on deep clearance and collaborate with the wonderful GlauG to upgrade her. I did consider Prime Kup but he's so full of rivets I can't help but wonder if it'd be more trouble than it's worth. Plus, I do like that mold as Kup.
