..or at least, as close as one can get.

The plan for the middle of The Shelf is to get as close as possible to a complete set of IDW Wreckers. Because we're all fanboys/fangirls really. :grin:

So far, Generations Kup, Blurr, RTS Perceptor (plus a Generations Drift back in Italy, still trying to decide whether to drag him back after the winter break).
I do have a RTS Special Ops Jazz lurking at the back, as he shows up in All Hail Megatron when facing Kup on the latter's arrival..


I have searched around this subforum to track any releases of the iGear stuff, haven't found much apart from Presser:

Now, bearing in mind that I cannot afford third party stuff, what would people recommend to add to the series?

I would get Topspin and Twin Twist-the original G1. They're still pretty cheap and fit in scale wise with the Classics deluxes.

Cyberverse Guzzle fits in pretty good. He's not as movie looking as others from that line, so he wont stand out. Finding a good Roadbuster will probably cause you trouble.

There are several options for Springer: Fansprojects Warbot Defender, the Botcon 07 version (which I happen to be selling), and the Universe 2.0 helicopter. Cyberverse Guzzle works and if you can get a U2.0 Inferno and don't mind painting a bit, there is a really good Pyro head on Shapeways that I can't recommend enough. For a quick fit, I've seen people use a ROTF Vortex for Rotorstorm but it's not a great fit and leaves Bruticus unable to clap. There is no good easy Ironfist or Impactor.

Thanks people!

Guzzle is on my wishlist at the moment, he will eventually make it on the Shelf.

@zodconvoy: Is this what you mean?
Is that the one used for this custom?

Which Springer would you recommend of the three, if you weren't trying to sell the BotCon one? (As in, objectively speaking.)

that Guzzle's everywhere now, makes me glad I didn't buy it at Kmart.
