    Just got gremlin through yesterday - he's aces. Great transformation, great qc, great poseability. I hope newage put out more at this level of quality, I'm definitely excited to see what they do next!

    I’m hoping New Age announces a Cosmos/Pathfinder and a Tailgate/Wipeout, but they might decidedly break out of the Legends size but not scale and release a voyager Sky Lynx, for instance.

    And, as for repaint potential on that... there’s that Purple Griffin from that one episode that one time... I suppose.

    Yeah, I wonder what their follow up to BB wil be. TFcon might be a bit early for them to announce their next project; whether they will stick with G1 mini-bots or branch out to other iterations like IDW or or carbots or Headmasters.

    Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see if minibots are their thing, or they just happened to release a minibot first. I’d be happy either way, I suppose with a slight preference for minibots as I’m fond of them.

    It’d be super unlikely, and probably not a very good business decision, but I’d LOVE to see them do some non traditional minibots- throttlebots, firecons, sparksters. If they stick with the microchange lot though, I’d love to see outback/brawn and powerglide in particular.

    I expect Cliffjumper, Tailgate, and anyone else that they can retool the mould for. With how well they did Bumblebee, I'd love to see them do proper size Insecticons for this scale.

    Me too. The Insecticons and most of triple changers are the last of S1/S2 Decepticons without a good 3p legends option.

    Ha! Here’s a couple:

    I think he’d suit a big ish bot symbol on his chest to break up the colour, and his gun sitting at an angle is a bit odd (and the wheels don’t roll - but I genuinely don’t mind, given how tiny he is) but he’s great!

    Hi there

    Just recieved mine today and im already having trouble with it.

    The right and left side windows where the arms are attached are what im having trouble with. 

    The right window stays clicked to the top of the cars roof and will not come undone. 

    The left window will not stay clipped to the top of the cars roof will not stay clicked. 

    This also cause the arm to fall off the metal pin constantly in robot mode. 

    Are the side windows supposed to stay attached the top of the car? 

    I cant see that they are supposed to un-click from the top of the car but why the metal pins if not.

    The pink-circled windows stay attached to the body, and form the sides of his torso in robot mode.

    The green-circled windows stay attached to the rear of the vehicle, which separates from the front of the vehicle to form his back in robot mode. These rear side windows and the panel between them, can either fold in behind his head in robot mode, or stay in their vehicle mode positions for a bit of a "hood" for robot mode.

    None of the windows or metal pins should be separating from the figure in either mode. If they are then the figure has an assembly issue, or similar quality control issue that is causing it to not function as designed. In that case I would suggest contacting your seller for an exchange or refund.

    Mine is being held up by the chosen prime not processing my order yet! Still says Unpaid Pre-order. It's been there for more than a week now! They also still haven't answered my last 2 requests.

    I'm not even sure how that's possible. Are you missing pins in these locations?:

    It detached as soon as i started transforming it. I wasnt hard worh it either. Ive learned to be careful with some of the 3rd party brands.

    Yep the pins are all there.

    How would they normally stay clipped? Is it a piece that should have been glued in? Ive got the torso open trying to carefully budge the other side loose to help me determine if i can fix it but it will not budge.

    I have some CA liquid and wondering if i should or could apply a lil in the cavity that holds the top of the window in to the top of the car.

    I fixed my flipper. I opened up the torso and dropped a couple drops into the cavity that the window was supposed stay permanently attached.
