Basically I'm looking for suggestions for low-cost substitutes for Diaclone/Warudos drivers to go with several of my G1 figures. It doesn't matter what line they're from, just as long as they're small enough to fit inside of the cockpits & I would prefer if they did have leg articulation. Even the 3D printed Diaclone driver reproductions are a tad pricey. Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

These guys used to do them forever ago. The page seems to be down right now, but maybe if you e-mail them they have some handy?

I don't know what the going rate for the figures are, but I always found the figures from the "Star Wars Action Fleet" to be in the right enough scale:

Compatibility will vary by figure. Most straight armed figures work, but some figures are posed with a weapon in both hands, or their arms are at a wild angle.

If I remember right the guy that ran TransRepro was forced to retire after having a stroke and someone cleared out all of his back stock for him to help pay for the medical bills. Shame nobody has stepped up to take over casting reproductions, now all anyone cares about is upgrade kits and 3D printing.

Why you don't just go for the new diaclone reboot ? that's the easy path..

Just now seeing this comment. That's very unfortunate :-(
