    PC-24 looks pretty sweet to me. I have PE upgrade sets for my other CW/UW/TR combiners, so this will fit right in. Don't really need the guns, but consider them a nice bonus for the price. Would be interested in a follow-up set to address the head, chest, thighs as others have suggested, but if that doesn't materialize I'm OK with it. Upgrading Hasbro's horrid hands and feet are the priority here, and this set delivers on that front.

    Hasbro could've made it where the little feet peg into the sides of the combiner chest. They fit perfect and, wouldve filled out the chest a bit.

    They got in and out with Hun-gurrr. Not many peg holes, this time.

    I'm going for this set when i can freakin get Hun Grr so still waiting on him. I've got a pre-order for the wave 3 guys but after that is complete i will be buying the set. I like the big guns and feet are pretty cool too.

    This kit has me concerned Perfect Effect isn't going to make the effort to actually make Hun-grrr's rifle. They didn't make rifles for Silverbolt Motormaster or Onslaught afterall. If that's the case, I might consider TCW's attempt moreso than before.

    They aren't. What you see is what you get. Remolded toes, remolded hand/guns and repainted God Ginrai guns from their previous kit.

    PE upgrade kits are pretty unattractive to me at this point. TDW's upgrades are far better and I don't have to purchase two separate kits like PE forces me to.

    I was disappointed with that initially, but given that Onslaught can barely hold the guns he's packed with without major arm droop I can see why they passed. That said, if you can find a KO G1 Abominus, POTP Hun-Gurrr holds its gun perfectly and it works pretty well for combined mode as well.

    Methinks finding a loose G1 Hun-grrr rifle would be much less of an effort, but any photos to prove that? The thought did cross my mind

    Not at the moment, but it is your standard 5mm peg and I can confirm my Hun-Gurr holds it like it came packed with him. When I get the chance to take some photos, I'll try to include that but I'm sure some other member will beat me to it before I get the chance. EDIT: Oh, and I did a quick ebay search and there are two G1 Hun-Gurrr rifles going for about $15, I had the luck of having a super old KO from childhood.

    It's not unusual. Even HasTak does it.
