Did you drop by BotCon 2016, pick up a Predacus set, and really want your Magnaboss counterpart for the DeceptiPredacon combiner? As we showed at the weekend, the Club did offer a sticker sheet which enables the closest thing to it, by decoing Unit-3 and Tigatron (from the show), and CW Ironhide, Prowl and Silverbolt - just follow the instructions below, courtesy of TF_JW!
Hey @seibertroncom and @BotCon fans everywhere, are you ready for some Magnaboss decal instructions?
Let's start With Megatron. While not part of Magnaboss, he has decals on Ironhide's sheet. Pred symbol & dragon eyes. There are 8 Megatron eyes on the sheet. The extras are there because of how tiny they are - you will have spares if you tear or loose one.
And now the actual stickers for Ironhide. He uses all the rest in the gray as well as one of the Maximal symbols. 2 things about Ironhide: Apply the chest decals from bottom to top. Watch for wrinkles. And apply the bottom waist decals before the belt. Applying the 2 bottom waist stickers 1st (start at the outside) will let you cover anything extra under the "buckle".
Silverbolt gets some brown added to robot and jet mode. Maximal symbol locations are suggestions, not guidelines. A lot of the sculpted detail lines up under the lines on the decals. The stickers have enough give to push down into the details if gentle.
Magnaboss has an option for fans: Mouth or no mouth. In case anyone is off-put by the grin. Again, the Maximal symbol position is optional as well. Sticker order for Magnaboss, it is best to apply the "nose" area decal 1st. And apply the sides of the "bird" head 1st before the top.
Prowl probably has the most decals. Lots of stripes, lights, and emblems. I think the Prowl in the case at the convention was missing the yellow horn decals. Please note that the white decal that goes over the black nylon "elbow" piece must be applied before the stripes. Speaking of those UK police stripes, there is another option for Prowl that I don't have photos for. But you can leave the UK stripes off, leave the BW robot mode decals off, and add the Autobot symbol for a more-accurate G1 look. Also on Prowl's sheet are those little circle Decepticon logos? Where do those go?
They go on TCC Ramjet and Skywarp's forearms. The white ones work on Takara Starscream too.
Lastly, those red Decepticon symbols on Ironhide's sheet. SG? Sure. Or use one on Ravage for show accuracy. More about the @BotCon decals. The spare faction stickers include Wreckers which can be used on Tigatron or TFSS 5.0.
Another thing missing from the Magnaboss in the case (I forgot to convert the weapons this way), his sword! It's a little undersized, but Magnaboss needs a sword!!
