considering that I clicked reply to main the post I though it would show as a reply.
I was talking about the skull backer mask, not the metal phase teen nuparu mask

PekekoaOfJungle · August 20, 2015, 3:23am

(a canvas is called a backer around here)

Forest_westly · August 20, 2015, 4:39am

I dont get that joke but ill take it anyway

PekekoaOfJungle · August 20, 2015, 4:46am

It’s a canvas with a skull. A canvas is called a backer. You said skull backer. I don’t understand what is confusing.

They’re not exactly the same but you can see the obvious resemblance. Lego just moved the grill to the mouth guard.

Smooth move, lego, Hasbro will never notice.

PekekoaOfJungle · August 20, 2015, 4:55am

Yeah, I use a modified Adaptive Armor Nuva Hau for my Optimus prime moc.

Likus · August 20, 2015, 4:56am

Yeah and you can paint it blue too. I’m surprised lego didn’t get sued for copyright infringement.
