I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with Sludge's head?

Perhaps he'd look better with CW Dead End, Wildrider, and Breakdown instead? There are some options for shoulder adapters out there (one on Shapeways, and a print-your-own on Cults3D).D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I got my Legacy Breakdown and Scraphook today, which is pretty fun considering I only just ordered them Thursday night from Pulse.
Breakdown is breakdown, nothing really exciting. The best thing I did with him was throw him onto Menasor as a back calf. 3 of the 5 Mena-cons really did turn out pretty mediocre. The combiner itself is nice, but the latter 3 cons kinda made me like him less. I actually almost prefer him without the leg bots, and Dead End just does not look good on the arm like Dragstrip does. He's nice, and better than CW, but he's still a bit disappointing.
I think people are now obligated to make a connector add-on for him.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Scraphook is really awesome, I love his highly greebled scrappy design, and the colors in hand are ace. He is so much fun, and his truck mode is rad too. He is great, highlight of the wave so far for me. He also makes a cool leg
Eh, IMO the only thing TR's got over Legacy is you wouldn't need aftermarket parts to swap the faceplate onto the PotP Prime Master.Nemesis Destron wrote:I'm very much content with TR Metalhawk...anybody else?

Yep. Funny enough, in the time I have been in the fandom, he has always been Slug. So for me, he is and will always be Slug.
As for Hound, i had the same idea months ago, including giving him Red Cog's entire arsenal.

Pretty sure Fall of Cybertron was the first to use the name "Slug". During the time of Animated calling him "Snarl", IDW was still using the "Slag" name.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:I class him as Slug now as well, despite knowing his previous name for years.

I think Animated was the first, they named the triceratops "Snarl". Not sure if anything before that started the trend away.
And since then, IDW, FOC, the movies, Cyberverse, PotP, SS86, and Legacy have all used Slug. I think the Slug might outnumber the Slag now in terms of toys and fictional appearances.

I'm surprised no 3rd party has made an upgrade kit with a Movieverse Hound head to swap onto the Legacy Bulkhead body to make a proper Legacy Movieverse Hound.blackeyedprime wrote:Never even paid attention to the baynus nothound figure before due to the movie design being that bad but the toy looks pretty good. Hasbro should probably have gone for baynus over prime bulkhead as that figure wasnt a prime bulkhead to anyone for the most part.

"Sandwich packaging, meaning like they did for Select Magnificus?
That was a clever way to pack without any twis-ties. I wonder if that was just a one-shot deal?

It was supposed to be the new packaging style going forward.
