    It's a shame Nonneff stopped making products for MP TFs.

    A lot of discussion over Swoops wings, the added piece really helps clean them up!

    Nice paint job on Swoop. How do you keep the chrome from rubbing off on the wings? It appears that you paint the hinges, so I definitely want to know how you pull that off. Thanks for the nice pic!

    Thanks, to be honest it will probably wear off the hinges, I'm not a great modder, lol. I use floor polish to protect the chrome as much as I can but honestly I don't plan on manipulating this guy much. I have a second Swoop.for.play!

    Sadly, I no longer have the funds for duplicates lately. I haven't seen him in stores for a while either. I got mine on Black Friday at Target while visiting the in-laws in Maryland. About shit myself when I found both deluxe Dinobots that day. I never find stuff early. Long story short, I want to paint the wings to match on mine, but I do mess around with them. Guess I can't have it both ways haha.

    Cheers, @mcart, I was wondering if the extensions could be used to curl the wings back like that for a 'toon/comic silhouette, this is excellent news to me!

    Really dig Slash with little scythe/gun/tonfa weapons. She's pretty fun.

    Slug is considerate enough to have a center port for his gun, unlike anyone else in the team. Still haven't figured out combined-mode storage. I'll keep searching till we get pictures from TFCon.

    The new wing-piece adds quite a bit of display options. Usually I go for more of a shoulder pad look for the wings in robot-mode, but I also like the more classic look. Collapses pretty well.

    Made Sludge store Snarls gun because Snarl doesn't have enough ports to tow both the PerfectEffect weapons and his Nonnef rifle in dino-mode. And because symmetry.

    Found a way to store Grimlocks gun in dino-mode. If you remove the guns barrel and reattach it to the handle it will fit inside the gold-stomach cavity.

    Anyone test & know yet whether the Combiner Wars hip ratchets are still compatible with Hun-Gurrr for his combined mode? I would assume since he's based on Superion but it would be nice to know for sure...

    Silverbolt does share some parts with Hun Gurr.

    Well, when I say "share" I mean Hun Gurr tore them off, chewed them up and swallowed them.

    Received my Dinobot set yesterday. Like many I had a ton of trouble with Swoop's wing extensions. I ultimately got out my Dremel and sanded down some of the nubs on the new hinge and also a hair on the toy. The size of the hinge on the new piece seems spot on, but I think the inflexibility of the plastic used in the kit doesn't allow it to flex enough to pop on.

    Also, wasn't digging the mismatch of the color on the new wing bits. Ended up painting the wings and am quite happy with the result.

    How did you get the wings to fold up so compact? I’m still laying in bed so I don’t have mine near me. Are mine on backwards then? They absolutely will not fold like that.

    So Grimlock's gun is in two parts and can be used to bulk up the Swoop arm mode along with his cannons, could there also be a combined weapon mode though? The t-shaped slots on the sides of the Swoop cannons make me wonder?
