    Can't wait to hear the results fakebuster for the fort max to see how they would fit, if they are too small you think you could make bigger ones for him in time for his re release I would buy a pair guaranteed.

    Love them. I feel they would be a great addition to a Savage Claw mode. The only thing is, I would need only one...

    I hate to Necromance threads, but does anybody know if these titanic graspers work with Generations Titan-Class Metroplex?

    I have been approached regarding this before.
    And yes, I think Titan Metroplex needs better hands; I couldn't believe it when I realised each of his fingers has only one joint!

    However I am reluctant to get one for myself as my place has simply no room for it. Ergo, to make a replacement I'll need photos and measurements, not just of the hand, but of the gun handles themselves. The gun handles have a special design to fit him, don't they?

    I suspect these existing EEE hands are too big though. They are 40 mm wide across the knuckles. How big are Metroplex's hands across same knuckles? (Edited: It's not 400 mm wide. Pardon.)

    400 mm Wide across the knuckles. Sweet mother of Arcee, that's about 1 foot 3 inches across! That's just one hand, right?

    That's a relief. Having just dismantled the forearm off my Greenscream, using the hand as a reference and comparing it to the EEE hand on the first page, it appears your EEE hands are about 4.5 cm (45 mm) across at the primary knuckle. Unmodified, The EEE hands MIGHT work for Titan Metroplex, I have no way of knowing just how wide Titan metroplex's hands are or how they're mounted at the wrist, though, So I don't yet know if Titan Metroplex will require major surgery to use the EEE hands.

    TBH, the hand of Titan Metroplex just come off. So some one can literally remove the hand and send it your way.

    So the "Wrists" of Titan Metroplex are simple hinges mounted on a Slip-swivel (Mushroom fits into socket). Interesting. As they are, it sounds like the EEEs won't quite work on Titan Metroplex, but I'll know better once my Walmart gets my Titan in and I get it out of the box. I might just end up mounting the Wrists using LEGO Technic/Bionicle balljoints (My kid brother has more than a few in his LEGO collection. I don't think he'll notice if one Toa leg disappears) That way my Titan can have good-ol' Ball-Jointed wrists AND articulated digits.

    I think I'll be doing more than just giving the Titan some new Face Paint, I think I might be replacing his hands. (and, if possible, sending one of Metroplex's stock hands to Fakebusker so he can redesign the EEE's)

    Thanks for the info, and good to know how the wrist works.
    I'll probably have to redesign the hand to fit Metroplex and not use the original EEE design at all, although I will recycle some design guidelines like the joints and stuff.

    Thanks for the offer to lend me the hands. A kind benefactor has already volunteered to loan me his copy so for this future product you'll have someone to thank. :3
