That's the cool thing with Galvy, Cram. Anything you put on him looks good.

Current state in the Collect-O-Tron.

You have the perfect scenerio. You could essentially cherry pick the best 4 limb bots of the entire line.
Check Hasbro Toy Shop. They may have a bunch of old stock.

Good to know it's the whole mold and not just mine D-Max :lol:

Cobro that's where I got Cyclonus and Shockwave from, HTS. The only Decepticon limbs they had were the Combaticons, and I only seem to like Blast Off and Vortex. I was hoping for Offroad and Break Neck to be there still but they aren't even searchable on the site anymore (they cleaned things up apparently). So, if I run into them in the wild, I may bite.

Unfortunately, you're not going to find Neck-Brace for below $30.

Also, I highly recommend Swindle. He uses the awesome Rook mold, and he's very solid.

Thanks for the heads up, N!

I've checked all of my normal places and yeah, dudes aren't cheap anymore. It's like some collector should sell them loose and absolutely complete and mint who isn't me so I can buy them!

'Cause that's what I do.

Helping the people.

Back on topic, the goal was symmetry. And preferably accuracy. So when he was in Galvatronus mode he resembled Galvatron. So it'll just be a pipe dream, I thought a bunch of copter bots would've harkened to Shattered Glass Galvatron in a way..

Ya know, if you lay allegiance aside, Rook would look awesome on him as big arms with the slot in the arm to attach the gun as a fusion cannon, and the twin Vortexes can make good legs. :MAXIMAL:

D makes a good point. Rook is the only bot that can make the Galvy gun happen.
But I really like your idea of 2 Off Roads and 2 Vortex. IMO boyh those guys make great arms and legs.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.

Did you try TRU.com?

I'll back up the copter bots work great in both modes, especially with the Supes torso bots. Just nab 4 Nemesis Bravos and drone rock Galvatronus.

If you wanna little spice the Combaticons are great lil war machines. The Offroad or Dead End mold are also very cool and fun. This is scramble city, baby and Galvatronus ignores allegiances. Sky's the limit with combiners!

Every good chess player needs a pair of Rooks, and I feel Cyclonus plays chess in his spare time :MAXIMAL:

I checked all of the normal retailers, Walmart, TRU, Target, Kmart. Nothing but newer limbs, and new/old torsos. I'm not too worried about it though. It was an idea that MAY have been cool.

That's what I wanted to do Cary and wanted to hear, copters for all limbs!!!

And yeah, I know scrambles..I just didn't want to invest in it this late in the game! If you go back to the first pages you'll see I had Defensor and parts of Superion and Computron from G1, so those are the only ones I'd want.

Who had that setup with Galvatronus and 4 Generations Scourges?! Anyone see that?! Amazing!! Still not the colors I'd want :-D

Why isn't there a Decepticon Rook in grey?! :lol:

Chess, Cyclonus, Rook. All valid points!

You guys have great ideas :-D

Here's the bots that moved on today..Kinda regret selling off RotF voyager Starscream, I forgot how good that figure was. Well, minus his hands by the jet exhaust..

I swapped out Alternators Shockwave for these three for my desk at the office.

I agree, FOC was where my first Transformer came from, and as such (and because the game is awesome), I'm pretty nostalgic towards it.

Oh, I be hatin' those Combaticons. Well, not all of them..

There's a few third party companies that specialize in FoC stuff right? It's a very cool aesthetic. A larger FoC Optimus would be nice, and there's a certain tyrant I used to own that was reaaaaaaaaaally cool..and Soundwave.

I loved those games. Thought about picking up a XB360 again as I still have both WfC and FoC (couldn't let them go!!). I'm sure all the DLC will reload :lol:

I've got both on my PS3 right now.

I almost took my PS3 to botcon so I could share the awesomeness. We would have never had time though. Still super fun games that make good use of transforming back and forth to get through the stages and battles.

Never played WFC, but I'd like to.

So much fun. I'm fairly certain I completed the campaigns on the "Prime" difficulty or whatever, but man, pew-pew Megatron rifle?! Awesome. Woulda been nice if they made a smaller WfC/FoC Bumblebee figure instead of the deluxe, he seemed tooooooo big.

You should N, it was really fun.

It's true and possibly the better of the two. I used to think FoC was the better game until I recently re-acquired the pair.

If you can track a copy down for your system of choice, I'd give it the old Cary ;)^

It looks like my next order from ReproLabels will have some stickers for FoC Starscream, Optimus, and Shockwave! I should really finish Metroplex off so he has the full upgrade treatment. I realized last night I haven't even finished his STOCK sticker set, let alone his ReproLabel set I have!!

I love that you can take the helicopter blades off and put them on Bee's arm.

Ah Cram, if only that had been Drift instead of Blurr for that mold, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I need a generations Drift for my Lost Light crew, but alas cannot find him anywhere for a decent price. And I can't get that Adventures Drift alone either for the crew. :MAXIMAL:
