looking at these in more detail, I may have to buy the reprolabels set for Hot Rod's chest, as the flame logo is too poorly defined. I'll see it in person to make sure first, but it looks so vague there. Other than that, I'm ok with him. Transparent blue instead of painted would have been nice, but still looks pretty good.
Galvatron looks as good as either of the others. I don't like the chrome on Henkei, or the dark grey. Universe version's not blue enough of a purple for me, and I like the vehicle mode on this one a bit more. My ideal one is a mix of all three, but this one's good enough looking. Shame it carries on the orange joints, those were much better on Henkei.
This version of Cyclonus always looks good. Universe had the toy colours and colour scheme down, but I like this one as a cartoon version and prefer that he's not as lightly hued as the Henkei version. Strange that, aside from Hot Rod's chest, these versions of the other two most closely resemble their G1 toys, whilst Cyclonus is more of a match for his animation model.
I don't have any of these molds, so looking forward to this set arriving.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.
