    I don’t really either. They were so fiddly I was annoyed with them just trying to separate the legs right out of the box.

    Finally got Uproar aka Brawl from TCP, and no QC what so ever everything build solid and tight I just love his visual presence. Zeta's bulky designs fits him very well even with the fiddly treads which should have been refined better this is the best MP Brawl to date I cant put him down.

    Also got Take Off no QC at all and once again build solid, I wasnt on board with these at first but having them in hand I respect these figures they are good quality and massive It blows my mind having them in hand that these dont cost $100 a pop nothing feels cheap.

    Well, going to order Whirl blade next! And looking forward to Swindle soon!

    I'm not going to say there are no QC issues for their Combaticons but so far, it seems the Aerialbots are the ones having the most trouble. While I'm not in love with Blast Off or Vortex but I'll bet these guys will look pretty good as a team when all is said and done.

    Yeah so far so good for me on the Combaticons QC, But I agree on the Aerialbots I had to take apart Flyfire waist and do some touch up work on the ratchets and flip skirts it was loose and now he's solid seems to be a issue with most. I hope Zeta hears the issues with Flyfire and makes sure it doesnt carry over to the rest of the Aerialbots its strange as Airstrike is solid besides the wacky front gear.

    But your right these Combaticons are going to look good as a team at the end.

    ^Agreed.........

    I should have mine by this Saturday.

    I'll open him, mess with him on my desk on and off for the weekend, transform him into a leg sometime on Sunday, and there he will wait for the last two remaining ZT Combaticons. Once those are in, he will go into Bruticus mode and shall remain there until I die or my kids get me declared mentally incompetent and sell all of my transformers.

    The mentally incompetent part is probably a lot closer to happening then I would like to admit..........

    Got my Uproar yesterday from The Chosen Prime. His thanks treads are cool but man are they a pain in the ass in robot mode. I was able to take mine away but it would’ve been so much easier if they made a panel open up so that you could leave them correctly and then lock them in. He’s going to make a Solid leg though. Bring on the last two I want to combine this baby!

    Damn. Mine is missing the front toothed wheel at the front of the right tread. I've been in a bit of a QC slump since the beginning of the year.

    Looks good!

    BTW, Can you NOT get Furor's shins to close any more than that… or was it on purpose?

    Anyone got a good way to get the tank treads tucked away? They are so wonky in robot mode.

    Around the 19min20sec mark

    What kind of case is that, or did you make it yourself? Lot of tall space there for big OS combiners (I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with them).

    This has probably been mentioned, and I tried looking in the thread somewhat, but, it's a needle in a haystack. I'm interested in these and the Unique Toys one, leaning towards the Zeta one (very tough choice though), my main gripe is: Why is Swindle in leg mode backwards, and more importantly can you switch it around? Talking about his undercarriage being in the front instead of other way around. Also, since he's a hummer or something instead of a jeap, a small gripe also.
    Yes, I'm looking for the cartoon accurate look the most. Lastly, I have the OS KO Warbotron, am I correct in assuming it'll be roughly on par height wise with that (he's about 17 inches not including shoulders)?

    In my opinion Swindle is facing the correct direction in the pictures. As for if you can change the direction, maybe but it won't look the way you'd like. DA3B4535-FE5E-4CFE-BF3E-91DD47411787.jpeg
