    I... didn't even notice before. That IS "Sundor" and "Garboil". (NOT Howlback) Those two are the same mold. Odd...

    Although it has to be said it doesnt hold amazingly well and makes him quite back heavy it makes me kind of want a shadow demolitions pack for CC

    I have the demolitions pack. And I will attest to this much: it doesn't do a lot better than the regular back hold.

    The piece that attaches the BFG on the shadow pack, while it is not loose at all, its not latching tight enough to my commanders (yes I tried all 3) back to sustain fully the weight of the BFG.

    The BFG mounting in the back, no matter what method you use, will shift the bot to back heavy. you can't really do anything about that unless you make your commander have something heavier near the front.

    With the shadow backpack mounting BFG, the commander will stand fine, but don't expect anything more than that.

    It also makes his dimension looks like a block. So the best way is just to leave the BFG out and mount other stuff.

    Perfect Effect has shown over and over how shrewd they are in how they release repaints.

    Basically they release the unwanted repaint first and then the more recognizable characters second. They do this because they know that the popular characters will sell themselves and they can get some extra sales of repaints from early adopters and impatient people.

    Like how many of those Shadow Frumbles did they sell? Lots of people bought three of those guys. One to keep and two to repaint into Frenzy and Rumble. And then when the official Frenzy/Rumble were released, those same people bought those too!

    Ingenius if you ask me.

    I would not have found this without asking here. It still took me ten minutes to realize exactly which slot it went in, since none of then seemed natural.

    Oh well! At least now he can carry his weapon.

    And to add to this, Rewind and Eject are musts!

    You can attach The Big gun of a "Commander" to the hinge part that is from the Voyager just have it poking out and with a little fiddling you can fold the gun up and have it hanging from the hinge slung across his back - it's a great way to display them as it means you don't loose the big gun if you don't want it in their hands.
