Universe Dirge (from 2-pack w/ Roadbuster)... What do?

So I just completed my retail seeker collection (the main six) and that means I finally got Generations Dirge. This poses a small problem as that means Universe Dirge (The Cybertron/Galaxy Force Voyager Starscream repaint)gets the boot from my Neo-G1 'Cons shelf. So my question is... where do I put him now? Anyone have any suggestions of where I can put him, or who he can represent to keep his spot?

Do you have a Shattered Glass shelf/display? I use him as SG Thundercracker.

Find a targetmaster gun and you can make him a makeshift Triggerhappy.

Except SG Thundercracker is the Classics mold with Action Master Thundercracker colors. And it may come sooner than you think ;)

As for Universe Dirge, either use him as a pre-Earth Dirge or put him in the 2003 Universe line instead of the 2008 one. You can do the same with the Cybertron 2-pack Starscream, who looks like Thrust.

War Within / WfC Shelf?

I have my Neo G1 collection in 4 sections. I have them displayed together based on faction and scale. So my Cybertron mode Dirge was not with the rest of the seekers anyway due to size.

Currently displayed
Shelf 1 - Decepticons/Size: Larger Deluxe and up
Shelf 2 - Wreckers & Survivors/Size: Deluxe to Ultra but all more or less in scale with each other.
Shelf 3 - Autobots/Size: Deluxe to Ultra all roughly in scale with each other
Shelf 4 - Autobots and Decepticons/Size: Scout to Deluxe as well as Bruticus w/ FP Add on, Devestator
Maximus, Superion with FP Add on and Nexus Prime/Maximus with FP Superion Add on set.


Like I said, everyone is more or less in scale with any other bot they share shelf space with. It allows for doubles of certain characters if they possibly had more than one mold as well.

Really want a custom Omega Supreme made from that Cybertron Menasuar and a Cybertron Metroplex as well as a Custom Fortress Maximus made from Armada Omega Supreme to finish off shelf 4. Think they would look great displayed with the combiners and then a bunch of scout and deluxe transformers to really make them look huge.

Repaint him as Jhiaxus. That's what I did.

This what I was thinking as well. He fits in with the the WWI Titanium Seekers reasonably well.

Unless you're a scale nut, of course.

Finally someone else sees it. I've been saying the mold should be repainted as Jhiaxus 4 years.

Alternatively, with a different head, it would make a nice Stormbringer Bombburst. Actually the wine colour Cybertron Starscream version is probably closer in colour.
