Isopropyl alcohol (I'm assuming this is what you meant) only costs a few dollars from any pharmacy.

Are you talking about the 'elemental' symbols on their chest? I imagine that it can removed with isocol and some persistant rubbing. You always have to be persistent with it as it doesn't rub off right away and I imagine the FP figures using higher quality paint than Hasbro's requiring more.

I wouldn't be surprised if Reprolabels releases a set of stickers that cover them for a more G1 look anyways. I'll be waiting for that but I kind of like the existing symbols anyway.

Hmm, I want to wait and see what they come up with (sticker-wise) for both Stormbomb and Backfiery before I get the ones for Thundershred; they do look pretty good but I'm happy with just a faction logo IMO. ;):)

Backfiery does indeed have a symbol, it's on the right side of his chest in robot mode. Looks like a little flame :p

Yeah the new release photos have it but the older ones don't.
