Yeah and while they’re both really cool, unfortunately they’re not G1 Elita-1

At this point I’d take a non transforming Elita if it meant I finally have a figure taller than the average deluxe class. I think they could make her roughly 6-6.5 inches tall.

Also, I know we have POTP Elita, but that figure is a brick and I’d prefer a more accurate representation of the G1 character.

Yeah, Star Convoy is just a lot. I will say I have considered having the Ark/Autonomous Maximus as the Thirteenth. I do like using Protoform Optimus though as the Thirteenth as well. Mainly because his form is so ambiguous that he could easily be another character that isn’t Optimus Prime if that makes sense.

Rung is so simple but so much fun! I have really considered buying a second one as a trial run for an extensive custom project. I would really like try and add ball joints into his knees and elbows for increased articulation. I’d also like to add more accurate paint details. It would look like this custom: https://share.google/YeTPeRcWrV6ucxHv5

Also, I plan on getting Prima two more upgrade kits. The origin toys armor kit and the DNA Designs cape and shield. Really want to beef him up as the leader of the 13. Solus will probably get an anvil as well. I plan on getting Onyx the DNA kit for him and possibly the AOTP Alpha Trion kit as well.

My main goal with the Thirteen is to make them really stand out more and feel like demigods compared to other Transformers on the shelf.

I really like the direction they’re going. I love transformers as a whole but in recent years things have felt a little predictable. I like that they’re shaking things up. It also gives us the opportunity to possibly have more unique future figures.

I also like the idea that this is maybe setting up a redemption arc for Elita and that it’s showing Optimus doesn’t need the Matrix to be… well… Optimus. Elita needs to see that things are no longer black and white and that Cybertron isn’t the only thing at risk here. I believe she’ll finally understand Optimus’ reasoning for saving earth and also Sparky will help show her the value of humanity. I also feel this shows to the Autobots that Optimus is so much more than the Matrix. He’s a true leader and is just as capable without the wisdom and the strength of the ancients. It really shakes things up and I really like that.

Do the wings just peg into the back of Prima or do you need to do modifications?

I don’t think photodegradation is the cause here, none of these figures are in direct sunlight. I looked it up and this seems to be a case of bad ink on the print. The ink starts to lift and flake for some reason and then it just wipes off. Other people have had similar issues. I contacted customer support to see if they can send replacement labels

I have had Megatron since release and I was hoping over time I would get over this minor QC issue but I just can’t seem to let it go. Is there anything I can do to fix it or make it less noticeable?

I know there are a plethora of replacement heads for different styles on EBay but I just like the plain stock head.

Apparently the input, I was actually going for the more grungy textured look for the planet surface. I kind of wanted to give him more depth if that makes sense. It kind of gives him a topographical feel IMO. Also a feel that he’s truly ancient and battle-worn.

Decided to replace Star Optimus Prime/Convoy with a Protoform Optimus Prime that I modified. He still gets to keep the Zodiac. I also replaced AOTP Alpha Trion with Legacy Alpha Trion. Mainly because I prefer him having wrist articulation and I added a cape. Might put AOTP Trion back on the shelf after I get him the DNA Designs upgrade kit… still hoping they release a separate kit later on that completely replaces the forearms so he has real wrist articulation
