    Thanks #caudex, I will try that.

    I finally got some time to open it up and I like it a lot. It's very nice. No damage. Looks great. Poses well. Good stuff. My 2nd FansToys (1st was Sovereign) and I'm a fan. I'll see if I can get the scabbard/sheath off the swords, and I haven't transformed it yet, but so far I really like it.

    So do those scabbards/sheaths for his swords go anywhere in robot mode? Do they peg into his waist or anyplace? Any way to have him wear those swords besides carrying them in his hands? Cause I can't find any way to do that and that seems like a real oversight.

    I don't have this guy but I think you might be able to peg one on his back (Saw it in a review). If not, I'm almost certain they peg onto the IDW leg armor that can be added. They're really an IDW thing anyhow so that makes sense.

    I had to remove the chest to for my fix. The only way is to remove the pin. I used a watch link remover to start it, then a small screw driver to push it out. Of note that pin has groves on one end (was on figures left side for me so I pushed from the right).

    Thanks! The info on the groves is especially important :) 

    I'm actually thinking of purchasing a automatic punch, but I've never used them.

    Considering metallic paint is fanstoys new favorite thing to do, probably best to wait to see if they release a scourge with a nice paint job to stand next to Quietus

    Just got mine the other day.

    I did find I was able to get the cockpit mostly flush without shaving or sanding. The trick was to make sure the hip skirt was pulled out enough to allow the shoulder armatures to go all the way down.

    My only issue was scuffing the nose when trying to hide the face in the nosecone. Not sure how to get it all the way in without the nose touching the inside of the nosecone.

    Had to touch the nose up with a small dab of whiteout.

    Do both. Then you have a Sweep too. I'm swimming in Andras figures but I'll still get FT if they do one lol

    FB_IMG_1544970001987.jpg

    FT will end up being the main three most likely with XTB being the Sweeps and Armada.

    This is me. Knowing me, I'll get both and honestly, that wouldn't be the worst thing as the Xtransbots could be a sweep.

    That's a good way to go. For my own head canon, (in the movie at least) there were 5 dead cons reformatted, so I need one Cyclonus and four Sweeps inc Scourge, or 2 and 3.

    But I love my Eligos so I have put him with my headmasters as a targetmaster. Plus he looks a tad more s3 than Quietus.

    When FT drop their Scourge, which I'm sure will be great, either he or Andras will be my targetmaster Scourge and the other will lead my Sweeps.

    Me too. But Quietus is also the only transforming toy I've bought this year. MP Sunstreaker came in late last year, so that's just Quietus. Only TF purchase of 2018.
    He's going up against Marvel Legends Mysterio and Elektra and the Star Wars Black 4-Lom and Zuckass for Best of 2018.

    In stock at The Chosen prime, BBTS, and Toy Dojo. Great figure, but be sure to take the knees off before you transform him...and just be really careful about the chest in general.
