How would you design a limited exclusive Masterpiece repaint?

Great idea! Man... I really wish Furman hadn't decided to disregard G2 continuity for ReGeneration One. IMO G2 really is better than he gives it credit for.

For me, the design already exists - All I need is a company that isn't FunPub to manifest it: MP-12: G2 - Masterpiece Generation2 Sideswipe!

Which by the looks of things, Stormbringer85 over at TFW2005's Radicons has shown what exactly is possible!

Sweet! If it's to be a limited ed. then I reckon it should come with bonus accessories!
+ Bandolier
+ x2 G2 style guns that can combine together (to form the roof-mounted weapon)
+ Sword
And the wheels should be retooled with spikes!

Definitely. The first half is a bit slow because they tried to maintain continuity with the G1 series and the GI Joe crossover stuff but once they got that out of the way it was great. I've been saving my G2 love for this month's retrospective threads.

That Sideswipe looks fantastic!!!

I want a zombie Prime from Dark Awakening. They can use decals on his windshield for the broken glass effect. Few paint apps here and there and we're onto a winner. Only thing they'd have to mod would be the head to make it look all mangled and busted.

I just said that...
But if they did they would need to basically hacksaw his left forearm off. Would look awesome though.

But it would make the alt mode look a bit funny

It would, wouldn't it, but it's all part of the Quintesson trick!!

Maybe retool the arm to make it detachable? Detach for robot mode, reattach for vehicle.
