I have the black convoy masterpiece, but that autobot symbol of his bugs me a little.
I was just wondering if anyone has figured out a way to switch the symbol up?
The only way I could think of would be to remove the small plastic piece that the symbol is on, and replace it with a blank plastic piece. Then putting a sticker on it.
That arm shoulder piece is easily removable, as it comes off if you ever try to change the smoke stacks. I would pay money if a company made that piece......... but i doubt there would be high demand for it....?

That particular piece? I don't see huge demand for it either. And if a company is going to do it they'd have to put the Con symbol on it or we'd all pass saying the were lazy

If you were able to find a cheap junker MP Prime you could perhaps take the part from the opposite shoulder and paint it yourself. It would probably be difficult to match the color though.

So i guess a new plastic shoulder piece, would be the only possible option, but unfortunately that option doesnt exist 
Anyone else have any ideas?

Well, you could always try sanding the Autobot logo off his shoulder if it bothers you so much that you don't want to ever see it again. I've seen kitbashers do it before.

To do it without destroying the original go to you local hobby store and buy a mold making kit. The Alumilite Mini Casting Kit runs about $35 and has all that you need. Just make a mold of the piece and make a copy and sand the symbol off of that.
