The Energon Pub

So, I may be in the minority here, but I'm not liking the recent crop of G1 Masterpiece figures, and am not at all planning to continue collecting what's being offered down the road. To that end, I'm looking to fill out my MP-style collection with third-party figures, and I'm having trouble choosing which version of Hound and Trailbreaker I'd like. Has anyone had a particularly good or bad experience with any of the third-party versions of those two?

I'll give an example: I bought MMC's Hellion (not-Cliffjumper), and although I love the figure, it's inexplicably smaller than it needs to be, in both modes even. I think the only way I'd display it with my other MPs is if nothing more comparable comes along, which I don't think has happened yet.

Thanks,
