I like the Reprolabels. Had to modify blue visor label that was designed for the standard release to give him nice shiny blue eyes, I think it turned out well! The only labels I didn't put on were for the thighs, as I'd like the non-hologlow amendment set and for the boosters on the battery compartment (the already applied ones looked fine).

Still not sure about getting the sword set, but I think the full set for Fortress Maximus will be nice to add to the interior of the legs (which do open but had no stickers in them from the factory

) and the window effects and other stuff.

You aren't a dork, but I prefer "do or do not, there is no try". OR "it's all in the wrist"!

So I've got RiD warriors Megatronus and Optimus Prime (first version) on my desk here at work. They need Reprolabels that are as expensive as they are and better weapons. What is this plastic crack I'm hearing of called "Weaponizer Mini-Cons"?

Also, Titan Master Hardhead head is missing!! "DFuros" for you people that don't believe Hardhead is the Titan Master and the tank/robot is just his Transtector.. >:oP

I'm guessing my play partner hid him somewhere. I usually find things in Metroplexes torso or shoulder turret storage OR in his feet! I checked there, no find!! :-(

Thanks!! It's an Autobot only Titan Party, if Devastator was there it'd be a battle!!

Pre-orders populate after they figure out what they are going to be ordering. You can pre-pay any amount you want or nothing!! I usually just pre-buy whatever it is I'm ordering from there. Similar to WJs import sites. Gets it out of the way and I've never had any issues with refunds.

HECK YEAH!! You see that base mode?! That's all me!! I just said "Cram, make this guy look cool like Metroplex." I replied, "I need more Reprolabels." Self said "Well yeah but the legs open up and can be gunner towers!" Then Cary said "pics or it didn't happen" :lol:

Oh, I mentioned Reprolabels.. Here's a halfway set of photos!

And here his is finished!

Nice, the labels achieve what I bought the Takara version for. Thank god I got him on an over half off sale, or I'd be pissed! :lol:

It's uncanny how much they ARE the Tak deco. I didn't want to say anything to Cram though 'cause I know he's having so much fun. :lol:

FM and Maggie are looking good. How bout them sweet internal cab stickers? Those make me want that set.

Yeah, that's all I'd use, but it would be nice to have some color on the inside.

Hey now. I know they are similar to what Takara had via paint. Guess who didn't want to pay for Takara Legends Ultra Magnus? This guy. And if I want white legs again? I can peel off the sticker. No worries.

Those internal stickers are really neat. That's another reason I want the Fortress Maximus set, the stickers for the inside of the legs when you open them up!

And all of the windows for basemode, which can be seen in battleship mode too.

I like the look of CW Magnus white legs better. Them stickers are sweet, but I wouldn't use the leg stickers. Also Minimus ;)^

I do too. Looking at the half completed and the fully completed I think the red/chrome stickers will be coming off of the legs. Everything else I like, and how about those additional color matched blue panels?!

ON TO OTHER NEWS!!

FansToys and Mastermind Creations showed off some awesome Third Party stuff this weekend. Anyone else hyped? Anyone else looking at some of the other figures and realizing they are just as good if not better than the Takara versions?!

I'm still getting MP36 though, I'm too hyped to have a good Takara MP Megatron. That can stand. And is posable. And won't break. Or cosmic rust. :lol:

I'm trying to think of what I want to do with Apollyon though. I've got so much time and effort in to him. Well, no more than any figure I've Reprolabeled..I may remove the extra panels this week just to see how he looks without the parts that annoy me. I also need to get to work on that mace and chain!

Crambles, I meant no smarm on Mags and his labels. I think he looks great. Took a 9, and cranked it up to 11.
I remember looking at those labels, mostly for the cockpit controls, and then realizing it was pointless for me because a lot of those stickers would cover up a lot of the painted deets on Tak Mags. Like all the cyberglow stickers.
I do wonder though if Hasbro Mags + Repros = same price as Tak Mags. :-?

Oh I know you meant no smarmy. I just like my labels. Brings back the G1 toy-ness to some of the things, which apparently I'm a really big fan of!

Well they were $11, I got UM for $38, so $50? Not terrible, probably close in line to TL UM.
