They had various “salvage” skins for G3 epic ships and I always thought that the Augur version was the best looking of the group. It really screams, “scuttled starship rebuilt and ready to fight.” The TOS warbird version is pretty cool looking in its own right but I always imagined the TOS warbird as a small, cramped ship while the Augur always felt like a huge ship, the first step on the road to the gigantic Romulan flagship from TNG. The hijacked warbird takes the regular warbird design and adds the cool Augment faction paint job to it. Apparently Khan’s Augments were among the best graphic designers in the galaxy.
