I heard some people say the battle damage on 20th Prime (original) can be removed. How easy is it to do this? Do I need soap, water and a scrubbing brush, or do I just rub it gently with a duster?

How heavy is MP Megs compared to Prime? And does Megs seem to get heavier in alt mode like Prime does?

What is the size comparison of Armarda Unicron to 20th Prime? in terms of weight, height and width?

Anyone fancy giving me an MP Megs, G1 Soundwave with cassettes and Armarda Unicron for free? No? Ah well, had to ask. :grin:

I want to remove the battle damage from my Prime, seeing as he now has longstacks. The other questions were just for my own curiosity.

I did the long rack mod to my own 20th Prime, personally I think he looks better with the battle damage, but if you want to remove it the battle damage is painted on. Q-tips, 90% rubbing alcohol and lots of elbow grease will rub it off eventually, however your likely to rub off some paint in the surrounding areas, as well as chrome on the grill in the process. It will take awhile and you'll have to be careful of those areas but it will come off eventually.

Megs is much lighter then Prime in both modes do to a lack of Diecast. Megs does get a little heavier in Alt mode, but its still lighter then Prime.

Unicron is a couple of heads taller then Prime, about twice as wide, and weight is about even.

No:)

I'm not sure that is possible....
More dense (in a way) maybe, but weight should be constant... at least on this planet :-B

Hmm, if it poses a risk of damaging him, I don't think I'll bother. I think he looks fine with it, I just wanted to give him the MP look. I suppose I could always paint over it if I have the right paint. :-?

No, I probably wont be able to get another and he's too nice to risk wrecking.

Heh, glad to hear Megs appears to get heavier in alt mode like Prime does.

Unicron sounds HUGE! And heavy for an all plastic figure. Does he appear to get heavier when transformed into alt mode?

You sure you don't want to reconsider?

Thanks for the info amigo.

Some of the battle damage on the grill of mine has naturally rubbed off, with the chhrome still fine underneath.

I personally think that (from the photos ive seen) the long stacks look too long. May change my mind if I see it in person though.

Yes he gets more dense, and with the weight more centered he appears heavier even though his actual weight doesn't change. Damn science types:P

Believe me, they look alot better in person. And much better than his shortstacks.
