i've just cleared some space on my hard drive so i can go through every frame of the '86 movie & knock up a COMPLETE list of every single tf in it - i will be making a display of the cast using anything but G1 toys (mostly sticking with the A/E/C & classics aesthetic but with a couple of BW & animated dudes chucked in)

 

i have most of the "substitutes" in my head but the cast list will help me get it finalised (& posted!)

^ this, I look forward too!

Are you even gonna use the dead backround guys like Windcharger and Wheeljack?

Wal-Mart exclusives Big Daddy, Crasher, Getaway, and ROTF Voyager Bludgeon so far.

RotF Brawn and Lockdown for sure.And the upcoming RotF Seaspay is going in my Classic Universe...RotF Bludgeon for sure.

I forgot to mention Superion and Bruticus Maximus, though those are a given. Wouldn't mind all three upgrade sets for the two, either...

ML Soundwave, Titanium Scourge, and (until the FP Hot Rod accessory comes out) Titanium Rodimus Prime.

 

 

RotF Lockdown for sure.And the upcoming RotF Seaspay is going in my Classic Universe...RotF Bludgeon for sure.

 

In addition to the stuff that I quoted I also have the Titanium Menasor (SDCC Rodimus repaint) and TFTM G1 Jazz. And until Warbot Defender comes out I have the Target exclusive Springer.

Great topic. For me it's:

 

ROTF Bludgeon

Titanium Scourge

Energon Scorponok (Repainted)

Impossible Toys Quintessons

Energon Arcee (Repainted)

RID Scourge -- I have no actual explanation for this one, I just happen to keep him there. And he doesn't look out of place, which is crazy for a G2 mold.

mindwipe, bludgeon, skystalker (as Bugly)

 

as for my classics stunticons:

ROTF Deluxe Dead End as Dead End, but debating changing his name to Wildrider

Special Edition Dragstrip

ROTF Breakdown

 

also,

ROTF Hoist

Why not just buy Nemesis Prime?

see i like the idea of nemesis prime having a different mold than Ops, and the Scourge/Laser Prime looks more sinister and jacked than Classics Ops, just IMO. I actually really want a Scourge for my collection too!
