GEN Apeface, Astrotrain, Spinister and Crosshairs

[Sinnertwin]

The JP Legends comics had TR Kup, Hot Rod and Full Tilt repainted as Crosshairs, Pointblank and Sureshot. 🤷*♂️

Noo, the others are the ones that perfectly fit back-in-the-80's!!

When I say 80s I mean when the Transformers were in the 80s - I know this is all pre-Earth, but since they're such good G1 bots what I'm doing on my shelf is the 'original' season 1 and 2 crowd, with the Autobots hanging out in the Ark jammed in a mountain and Megatron and his buddies skulking around trying to steal energy any way they could. So I'm not getting ones like Ultra Magnus, Springer, all the modular ones so far - they are G1, but "they weren't there" is kind of where my head's at. Helps keep the collection manageable and affordable while still giving my OCD an out of being able to think I'm getting all the ones that 'count'. Autobot cars and so on, Dinos, the Seekers (including any of the crazy early episode repaints I can affordably get my hands on), Insecticons, Constructicons (I'm on the fence about the combiners they introduced later in season two, I kind of like Devastator being the only one), you get the idea.

(Of course that means Omega Supreme does count, even though I'd love to have a reason to ignore him just because he's going to be so blasted expensive... must... resist.)

Resistance is futile

Keen on Crosshairs. I'm hoping he's not doused in that silver wash that ruined Ironhide.

Crosshairs is going to be shortpacked apparently. https://www.seibertron.com/transform...rtments/43511/

If I can't find one in the Western market -not that I'm worried, I'll just order the JP release. Same same.

I’m disappointed by that cheap looking “white” plastic on Apeface. It otherwise looks good

Makes me miss the days of Takara Legends versions with their premium paint jobs.
