    Why do I sense that the Not-Fallen is made up of both tanks? Like the one with the missile racks is his upper body and the one with the big laser turrets is all his lower body... Looks weird and kinda wish it were one figure...

    I think it's more like City Commander with the core robot turning into one tank and the arm/leg extending armour making up the other one. I think the core robots arms must be folded into the treads on his back.

    I would say that you are indeed correct.

    You can clearly see the upper body in one tank and the waist and legs in the other—doesn't seem all that complicated, but still a cool figure.

    Just hope that the tank that forms the upper body can indeed turn into the smaller robot and not just part of the big one..

    One tank is the lower legs, feet, arms and shoulders. The other is the torso, head and thighs, and likely includes a smaller robot mode.

    As much as I enjoy this character, he's not on my list.

    Regardless, excellent job to MakeToys. They continue to impress in what is hopefully a true competitor to Fansproject.

    I'm wondering if it's possible the new prime head has something to do with BBTS not listing Tanker as in-stock. Perhaps following MT's announcement they decided to hold off on shipping their stock until they got the replacement heads to ship both together and avoid dealing with any angry customers with broken Primes?

    Smart, if so.

    I'm happy to wait. I have enough good things coming to me this Christmas. None particularly TF-related, but it's been a year full of TFs for me. I usually get pretty depressed around mid-January, though, I'll need some toys to cheer me up then.

    That said, I wish I could just ship now. Totally would. Holding me up, Tanker.

    Do you even own it? I followed the instructions and STILL cannot get the head to turn or pivot up/down because it is too damn tight. My Prime neck has a stress mark near the ball joint on the post just from trying to move the head. It is waaaaaay too tight and the design specs on the opening for the ball joint were flawed from the start.

    I've placed my BBTS order for the Battle Tanker - with the new head set. Luckily, I have other christmas toys to play with to help with the wait. :)

    Tfsource shipped mine the other day. I assume its from the restock, I just don't know if it will have the new head.

    Always soak plastic/pvc/abs toys with warm-to-hot water first before playing with them.
