What if Motormaster is Thunderclash and the stunticons are the turbomasters?? Love it, but I'd use Swindle to make Scorch and put Lightspeed for Boss and maybe Streetwise for Hurricane, or possibly Dragstrip for Hurricane and Streetwise for Flash. And I'd throw in Blades or Vortex as Rotorstorm, would either be compatible with the Seacon stand thing? Predators dont work as well for me, but I'd be tempted to skip Skyquake and use Onslaught as Stalker, just so I can see the mould in those colours. And maybe use Strafe in place of Slingshot. Skydive would have to be recoloured as Skydive, just because. |

Silverbolt as Leozack, Drill chap from Nosecone and Brawl for the other leg and your choice of aerialbots for the arms and stuntcon for the blue car.
Obviously coloured in Original and Rescueforce variants.

I love Andy's Leokaiser suggestion!
Is there any hint of gang moulding in the limbs that might prevent this?

And I thought I was deviating from the thread title by having Inferno in my dream team! Martin You have to make bold moves if you want to win, Martin. Somewhere around here, this thread became Transformers Mornington Crescent. -Jim |

Is there any hint of gang moulding in the limbs that might prevent this? _Now_ I don't understand this thread... Martin Gang molding is when separate figures share the same colour spures. This is most notable in the Micromaster teams and the Armada folks with Minicons. So for example, if Roadhandler's chest is yellow, Free Wheeler's arms and legs will also be yellow, as they share the same mold. As you will always want the same quantities of each figure, it isn't a big issue (though there have been rare cases where gang molded figures (usually minicons, but I think one or two micromasters) have been gated off and released seperately) |

Gang moulding is where parts from different toys are made together.
All the parts from a toy come on a frame like an Airfix kit. Mostly there's several frames, in different colours per toy
However sometimes toys can share a frame. For example The Cyberjets share a frame for their upper legs and arms and another for their clear pieces. The G2 Gobots also share parts

To add to this, minicons, targetmasters, and any other accessory character are usually gangmolded in with the larger TF they come with.
More recent examples of gangmolding are:
Universe Hound and Ravage. The tail is gangmolded with Hound. I'd thought all of ravage was gangmolded with his wheels, until Botcon "Turbomaster" and SG Ravage.
Universe Cyclonus and Nightstick. Seems to be in Nightstick's joints.
Usually a character with a trailer is gangmolded together.
Sometimes it makes sense (minicon teams and micromaster patrols), sometimes it makes me wonder why they would want two attach two things together, inseparably (such as prime and his trailer. Seems to me a way to refresh such a toy could be to give him a new trailer. Even if you don't, having the option would be to your gain)

And now we have '84 characters from 'Special Team' molds!!! The dream is now reality Big Phil!
They could go bonkers with '84er repaints if they wanted to....

I really hope these four stand up as good representations of the characters in their own right, rather than just being 'limb' versions. They can go a long way by getting the heads right, particularly restoring Prowl's original one and passing over the Joe Pineapples version.

Fingers crossed, guess we will have to wait and see.
