Reprolabels have emailed us to let us know about some new sticker sets. The star of the show is a new set for Warbot Defender, but there are also sets for G1 Erector, Six-Gun, Overload and, for Power Rangers fans, the Ninjazords.

You can see more images and buy the sets for Defender here, for Six-Gun here and for the Autobot Micromaster Transports here.

Both Defender and Six Gun sets are a definite must get and will probably be my first purchase from Reprolabels. Both figures are feeling a little naked. There are so many I have been eyeing for a long time but never pulled the trigger and purchased them. I can see how you can spend a ton of money there.

Very nice. I liked the figure so much I bit hesitant about reprolabels, but this is nice piece of accents.

Really liking the Six-Gun and Micromaster Transport sheets, especially the license plates. OP Jr., clever, No ED... clever but borderlining

Some of those Springer labels are nice, but I'm not sure about them yet. I love Reprolabels and have many of their products, but Not sure if Defender really needs those.

I agree.

Normally, I don't use this word and keep a straight face: Purity.

I see what they're doing there, with the labels, and some do add to him (like the lights in vehicle mode), and some are unnecessary and cover up some of the paint apps that the FP folks painstakingly applied. If you own a FP item, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, if you don't, then let me just say this: Their apps put Hasbro and TakaraTomy's QC to shame. With one hand tied behind their backs. To cover it with a gaudy G1-esque label just somehow doesn't seem right.

I may end up buying it for the stickers that cover up areas that don't have paint apps (which is quite an area to cover), but part of me says "This thing's incredible without 'em. Save your money."

The rest of the labels, however...really, really nicely done.

For me, Defender... just needs an Autobrand or two.

Awesome! Been waiting for Defender...but, like some here, I'll be judicious about which ones/how many I actually apply. FP did a bang-up job, and I'd hate to cover that up. The Sixshot set is great, though! Now if I could only afford the Metroplex set! :-(

I've been waiting for the Defender set. I have to agree some of them are definitely going on because I was at the least going to put an autobot or wreckers symbol on the chest and a rub sign on his left leg on the die-cast area. I like the tail light stickers and some of the tailback stickers for copter and the wire detail on the arms is pretty cool. but the sheer amount of stickers they have on theirs just seems crowded/jumbled and dare I say gawdy. I was really hoping for a nice simple set for him with lots of metal detail(diamond plating or chroming), but this will work.

agreed. past the allegiance symbol, stickers only look right to me on G1/G2 items

with the exception of animated, that was the first line I fully reprolabled.

yeah I am branding mine with autbot logos from them but thats all. I think a lot of G1 stickers look tacky and pointless. it is one of big draws for me with the classics line. We just need a good classics jazz.
