Misfire is a really good idea. I could paint the gold and silver parts pink or red, and paint the head black.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I use him as a Cybertronian version of Broadside.

So I got the Air Raid and was planning on painting him in some way, but I really like him just the way he is and may end up using him as a new character all together or something.

Also dug out my Cybertron Megatron and thought he'd make a sweet Overlord, so that's who he is to be known as now!

Depending on ones paint skills, mine aint great, Seibertronian Leakin' Lubricant gave me a great tip for tampo and paint removal from figures using a silver metal polish called SILVO...

...with a bit of elbow grease thrown in it works great! :D

:BOT: :CON:

With Sins of The Wreckers on the horizon and more focus on Hubcap and Stakeout, I need to find me a Deluxe sized car-bot in appropriate colours for this guy... can anyone suggest a figure to fill this spot? :-?

I have one of the small Deluxe Bumblebee moulds ready for Hubcap, just waiting for his noggin to arrive from China with the KO God Sword! :-P

I used to use Generations Legends Swerve as Cliffjumper, until they came out with Generations Legends Cliffjumper :lol: Speaking of Gen. Legends, and although not a complete character swap, I used and still use Tailgate as a Fembot.

I can't believe I haven't mentioned this one yet, but I use Prime Beast Hunters Predacons Rising Voyager class Cryofire Predaking as Aligned Cryotek.

I've already worked out an Aligned-ish bio for him and everything.

Not a direct fill in, but I would kind of like to take a CW Streetwise to make a Stakeout custom.

Hello you!

I'll say goodbye to love Masterpiece in favour of my real love which is Classics/Generations!

Cybertron Defense Hotshot will be my Targetmaster Crosshairs once I source a target dude for him, perhaps a little paint removal?
The other guys will fill their respective roles as themselves, with RotF Voyager Mindwipe with Skystalker set up in fanmode as... Mindwipe! ;)

Im giving all my Classics figures a shake up in the New Year with plenty of unboxing, replacemnts, sales, and hopefully some mainline characters finally taken care of! :CON:

Sorry to resurrect this ancient, maggot-ridden, rotting thread from its resting place, but I thought this was strangely relevant given the Titans Return hype.

So Scourge. The three updated figures available to him in CHUG scale are the Titanium figure with its massive noggin, the Generations figure and the upcoming Headmaster version. Personally, I don't like any of these.

So provided I can find one for a sensible price, I think I know what I'm going to use as my CHUG Scourge (even though he bears only a superficial resemblance to him): Energon Dreadwing!
