Classicsverse Catalogues

[BigTransformerTrev]

Cheers for the answers to all those questions

I would have thought that some of the TAV's would have qualified as CHUG more than Timelines figures but I can understand the reasoning.

I didn't pick up that some figures were the Hasbro and some were the Tak/Tom, hence the different stances. Might show up more with higher resolution.

Speaking of the lower resolution, did I see you had a toy there for Slag in the 85' catalog? Which figure did you use? And which figure is it you are using for Swoop? I have a Universe Swoop Mini-Con but cant tell if its the same figure you are using there.

Have you thought of doing this with other toylines in the future, or are the other toylines not comprehensive enough with the amount of G1 figures they represent? The reason I ask this, and I think part of my strong fascination with what you have done, is that I am very much a multiverse collector. By this I mean I love collecting all the different versions they make of G1 characters, perhaps even more than new characters (though they are always welcome). I always thought if I had the artistic skill I'd draw different group shots of G1 characters paralleled with the versions of them from other continuities (so for example all the G1 characters that showed up in Animated drawn in a group with their G1 counterparts drawn in a similarly posed group shot underneath). What you have done here is the closest I've seen to something similar. It would be interesting to see it done with other continuities such as the Unicron Wars and Bayverse, though perhaps due to so many gaps it would not work as well in catalog form.

Anyway, will send you my email so if you are still willing you can send me hi-res pics of what you have done. Once again, very VERY good work man! I hope you continue it to the 87' catalogs as well

Thank you, and yes, I do intend to do this w/ other G1 catalogues.

Swoop is the Mini-Con from Classics. Slag is from the Age of Extinction Evolution 2 Pack of Slug, with the Mini-Con representing G1 Slag.

I'm also doing this with Masterpiece, but otherwise no, not planning on doing this with any other line. Although I always do love to take side-by-side comparison pics with any Transformer and their original namesake (I usually post them in their respective review threads). And there is the G1/Classicsverse comparison thread.
