Hey thanks, Depthcharge. I looked at switching the hose to underslung and realized I wouldn't be able to use the LED feature if I did. Oh well. If I don't use the LED in the gunarm for a few months, maybe I'll do that and switch to the opaque hand also.
Hey man, I just noticed something in your pictures of Quakewave. When he's in robot mode his torso can extend a bit right above his waist. Out of the box he comes with this collapsed and in your pics it looks like its still collapsed. Not sure if you knew so I thought I'd say something just in case. I almost missed it myself when I was transforming him. The waist extension is shown on the page that comes between steps 6 and 7 but it's easy to miss because in the same step you're transforming his legs into the handle/rear of the gun.
Watched a few of the AFT videos at work. Can't at home because of the kids. Haven't watched any new ones in over a year though.
