Hi guys, as promised...here's some pics of Classic Trailbreaker to start off with. I'll also be attempting to paint his weapon, lower arms and lower legs all silver just to match the G1 look :P guess should have painted them before applying the stickers so will see how this goes

One thing that does get me is scale. I'm more inclined to call him Movie Trailbreaker for that reason. His truck mode is so much bigger than Prime's and that just doesn't make sense to me.

yeah..it doesn't make sense, he's the same size as ultra magnus, optimus prime and jetfire...and puny little rodimus prime is now just standing infront of him... probably should make him Movie Trailbreaker :cool:

I'll display him in bot mode only so to me he'll definitely be Classics Trailbreaker. He's just a big dude is all.

You sold me on Rodimus/Hot Rod upgrade too. Those pics look much better than in the Reprolabels website.

Not liking Mirage as much.

I have to say though that I'm defintely warming to Hot Rod. I like the brighter coloured flames a lot. Not so much the body stickers, just the flame. I wonder how they'd work on a TFM Cliffjumper. I've had thoughts about doing a headswap w/ Energon Rodimus + some stickers to try and get a Hot Rod feel. Not sure if it'd work though w/ the way the hood folds down.

I'll probably do a repro order in May if I have cash. Fingers crossed.

Bits and pieces of Mirage are pretty good. The front white stickers and the side spoiler stickers are great.

Thanks unca Ice! I like the Classic feel to Skywarp but overall I prefer the newer modern feel to him. I like the way the lines are more dynamic and not so classic. he was quite an awesome repaint by Hasbro. So while it looks nice I don't think i'd case down a spare Skywarp to do the job.

I must admit I prefer the "realistic" paint aps more than stickers, though I don't deny the awesomeness if that's the kind of thing you're into.

haha, yeah...well these are my opened spare classics, so they are getting their body tattooed :P

yes agree on getting them repainted for some of the parts is way better than using stickers.
on the overall, its a rather fun process
