I actually considered picking up Obsidian and Strika Beast Machines toys to toss into that shot as a gagAh, but you're missing the Botcon set now![]()
If you're trying to ruin the solace I've found in my situation... please don't.AKOM used off-colored models of Galvatron compared to his finalized model.

Are these friendlier than the usual Hasbro ones that once they're on, well, that's where it is now?Patience is also an asset. It can take a couple of attempts to get things lined up.
Hasbro stickers are pretty bad. ToyHax stickers can be a bit more forgiving. Really it just depends on the type of sticker and where, but on the whole it's a more forgiving experience than Hasbro's stickers forged from pure anti-fun.Are these friendlier than the usual Hasbro ones that once they're on, well, that's where it is now?
Hasbro's stickers packed with Gen Selects Galvatron and Cyclonus are different from the Prime Wars stickers, but somehow just as bad in new and exciting ways.Much of the stress of toyhax comes from the cost (and the heavy sighing over just not getting their design angle sometimes, leading to a handful of unused bits that could have given their sheet space for something else).
The actual application tends to be a breeze, with the labels and adhesive thick enough to handle a few light corrective reapplications in case you make silly rookie mistakes like I did. I haven't tried any of the Hasbro pack-in stickers the few times they've done them, but these are worlds better than any of the horrible paper ones from the Prime Wars Trilogy stuff. But don't let that low bar undermine how good the toyhax labels are.
Not only that, but this is the first line I've ever 100% completed. The closest one before this was Classics '06, but even then I didn't get all of the Minicons and Legends released under that banner.
The Machine Wars set is awesome! The only 'complete' line I have of anything is MonsterArts Kou Kyou Kyouku Godzilla line. It had ONE entry before being cancelled.
Maybe good I never applied mine to Galvatron.Hasbro's stickers packed with Gen Selects Galvatron and Cyclonus are different from the Prime Wars stickers, but somehow just as bad in new and exciting ways.
