You can transform him BACK into a truck? Man, plastic ALT's suck.

 

Yeah, pretty easily actually.

 

Good thing we don't see your naked reflection in the hood  

Let me know about the box. I'll be interested

 

Definitely. I figure if they can make custom ALT boxes, they can make custom BT boxes as well.

 

Looks okay, but not a fan of the grey. Nemesis Prime's overall solid black looks better. Don't like that silver crotchplate either, it just kinda...out there, with nothing else meshing with it.

 

The more I look at him the more I realize that chrome rims on black cars are just damned sexy.

 

Awesome, RW! Mine has shipped, should be here this week  

 

too cool. pretty slick. glad you were able to get one.

 

Looks awesome, man. I wish I had the money, and a way, to get one right now. I've always loved diecast stuff. And custom BT box sounds like a good idea!

 

Pick-up truck mode is gorgeous, robot is bleh. I hate black Prime repaints.

 

you going through mirage's boxes, ron?

 

I was thinking that. I hope he does BT boxes too.

 

far as I know, he'll do any box, including customs

 

That's music to my ears.

 

They should of made this guy an Autobot like the Black THS-02.

 

not! I wish 02b was a decepticon, they don't get the love they deserve!  

 

We do need more 'Cons.

 

Every BT I've ever own had some fault (laser/Shockwave had a spinny waist that would make 2 pack op proud, grim could barely stand on his loosey goosey hips, Prowl's left foot constantly retracts into his shins because of the loose joint).

I hope the small production run on this guy means they paid closer attention to QC.

Okay, so I went to Target tonight looking for some velcro strips to adhere to the plastic flaps on the box.

Instead I think I've found something better.

3M makes these picture hanging strips undr the name Command. It works like velcro, only better, I think.

So I picked up a small set of strips which comes in 12 sets. They're $8 for the pack so it's a little pricey. But these things are awesome! Instead of being like velcro where one side is little hooks and the other is cloth, these things have both sides as plastic mushroom looking things and they hold each other very well.

Here's what the packaging looks like of the 3M strips:

I'll take pics of the BT packaging soon.

 

I got some of those strips to hang up signs at my workplace. Very cool product. They hold up well, are removable/reusable with the "velcro-ish" stuff and are completely removable (but no longer reusable) when you stretch out the tab. Very clean, but strong. Great technology.
