Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Great figure, but a little out of place with classics-verse figures

Actually got the reprolabels set to turn him into G2 Volt for my neoG2 shelf

I did this too. He's perfect as a Volt stand in.

So G1 Monstructor was made of the 6 inner bots of 6 Pretenders and was very tiny.

If you guys had to design a modern CHUG Monstructor that pays tribute to the Pretender gimmick and the 6 inner bots while allowing the modern combined form to be at least CW 5 piece combiner in height how would pull this off?

Is this a scratch built, pre existing moulds or new moulds question?

Imagine you were a HasTak employee designing a new Monstructor. How would you do it while meeting the criteria?

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

It's sort-of a cheat, but you could do Prime Master/Titan-master sized 'core' bots that could slot into Deluxe-sized combining bots (based on the inner robots with remolds as necessary) and the current Legends-sized Decoy Armor toys in the shape of the old G1 shells.

Other than that I can't see how you could make it work.

Six deluxes, each comes with a Titan Master that becomes the robot head and fits inside an accompanying "Decoy Monster" (like the Prime Master) that also becomes a weapon for the deluxe.

Four are retools:
Bristleback - retool of Potp Sinnertwin
Icepick - retool of Potp Blot
Wildfly - retool of Potp Cutthroat
Scowl - retool of Potp Blot

Two are new:
Slog - new figure, becomes head, shoulders and chest of the combiner, also comes with the robot fists
Birdbrain - new figure, becomes torso and legs of the combiner, also comes with the robot legs

.....

I would do Dinoking differently though, mostly repaints with new heads and just the robots turning into the dinosaurs of their shells

Goryu - repaint of Potp Grimlock
Kakuryu - repaint of Potp Slag
Yokuryu - repaint of Potp Swoop
Rairyu - repaint of Potp Sludge
Doryu - repatint of Potp Snarl

Gairyu - a new Legends sized figure, possibly a retool of Shrapnel, that could attach to Goryu

Have beast wars figures gone up in price or is it just me? Ive been looking over ebay etc and for several months they seem to have increased.
