That would have been absolutely superb. A great mould and I would have applauded anything that got it back into circulation.

The profile art was awful for the redeco as Motormaster.

Pretty par for the course for the early 2000s. He's even staring at his fist!

I was going to say at least he got his own artwork, but no recycled Laser Prime was still better.

I'm using Depth Charge, Snarl, Skydive, and Blackarachnia from this line as maximals to mirror the four RiD Predacons in my RiD Season 2 set up.

The only problem with it there is the moulded Maximal symbol as Razorclaw is meant to be a Predacon. Shame it couldn't be flattened ala Battle In A Box Ransack.

*sigh* I wish I'd bought TF Universe figures when they were released. You need to sell a kidney to get them nowadays. The colours! So many colours!

There are only really a few that command top dollar. Unfortunately they were shelfwarmers in the day, and I grabbed exactly none of them.
Razorclaw. Optimus Primal & Nemesis Prime were all absurdly plentiful back in the day, but all cost a kidney now. I want them all now, but refused to buy them then because "why would I want a bad recolor of a toy I already have?"
I wish I could timetravel so I could punch me in the teeth, and then buy them.
Nightstrike(?) Cheetor, and Frostbite also go for big bucks now, but were painfully rare back then. I never even saw them (or else I'd have them)
Yellow RiD Optimus and mostly-the-same Magnus also go for mad money, but were exclusive to a store that didn't (and still doesn't') exist in my area.
I think those are the only ones that can't be had for somewhat reasonable prices.

Those would be awesome colours on that mould. It really needs a G2 Sideswipe.

One of the things that came down out the loft was my Universe Battle In A Box packaging. I'd love to keep them, cos Universe, but they virtually had to be wrecked to extract the toys being encased in a plastic cube!
What they do have however is their price stickers from The Entertainer still on them - £10 each! £10 for two deluxes and two Minicons!!!! I recall they were cheap but not that cheap and seeing the numbers price stickers did something to my head!

Excuse me responding to a post from 5 years back (ouch) There are only really a few that command top dollar. Unfortunately they were shelfwarmers in the day, and I grabbed exactly none of them. Razorclaw. Optimus Primal & Nemesis Prime were all absurdly plentiful back in the day, but all cost a kidney now. I want them all now, but refused to buy them then because "why would I want a bad recolor of a toy I already have?" I wish I could timetravel so I could punch me in the teeth, and then buy them. Nightstrike(?) Cheetor, and Frostbite also go for big bucks now, but were painfully rare back then. I never even saw them (or else I'd have them) Yellow RiD Optimus and mostly-the-same Magnus also go for mad money, but were exclusive to a store that didn't (and still doesn't') exist in my area. I think those are the only ones that can't be had for somewhat reasonable prices. In the UK we didn't get Universe. That pushes the prices up a fair bit here on the rare occasions they show up. And so many of us didn't bother because they were all repaints of things we already had. The initial waves put me off and I only got on the train later. The Battle in a Box exclusives were the only Universe badged product I recall hitting retail in the UK, grey imported with a load of other leftover Energon exclusives. The Micromasters combiners which were sold in the US in Universe *DID* come out here (TRU exclusive?) but repackaged as Energon & Cybertron |

A1 Comics in Glasgow had loads of Universe shelfwarming back in the day. I regret not grabbing any.
