    I was thinking Prime/Aligned (great designation by the way, sarcasm intended), but Universe Blastcharge also comes to mind.
    The round pegs on the Striker Noir weapon brackets are 5mm, while the brackets have tabs that are meant to connect to the axes in truck mode for weapon storage but can consequently tab onto the submachine gun part since it uses the similar tab/slot system like the axe and shoulder.

    I see. Thanks! Though my Striker Noir hasn't arrived yet.

    He's great by the way. Just take care when removing the weapons parts from the runners.

    Wheelie's found a suspicious gunmetal box, and promptly finds it as a new home for his tiny Dinobot pals.
    IMG_0871.JPG

    Funny (or not so funny) story about how I ended up with this box: I took my nephew to Target because it's the weekend, he saw blindboxes for Roblox, asked if I could buy one for him as his allowance money was at home, and then took the recently purchased item to the food court, somehow got the one he wanted, and almost threw the box away because he was in the "cheapo blindbox mindset" before I offered to "get rid of it for him".

    Turns out the other boxes had different letters on them, so luckily he got the most generic looking of all the boxes (an o), and that peg on the underside of the lid is only slightly smaller than 5mm. They're fine for tossing Titan Masters in (they're stackable, with little dimples on one side so they can sit on the bumps on the side closest to Wheelie's leg), but unless you're into also getting a sort-of crappy action figure with too-low knees and iffy paint quality, it's not worth the price just for a box.

    That is actually what I meant, my dyslexia is acting up super fierce tonight because I've got other stuff on my mind, hehe. Also, good to know about Striker Noir's pegs on a weird note, I was eyeing some of those weapons and it's a damn good deal for the figure. EDIT: Oh, and if you don't get my "designation", as you put it, you haven't seen Legion, it suits the character and I couldn't really think of any memorable quotes from Lenny.

    Definitely. Aside from some iffy parts fit here and there (mainly with the Ion Blaster since it has to sandwich around a somewhat complexly molded translucent red core), assembly's a breeze (which is important to mention as being left on runners is probably a big reason as to why the price speaks for its value). I end up using a certain set for Noir/Manus, given some to Rioter Despotron, and barely use the paired guns (would be useful for future releases). The storage pegs being 5mm was the icing on the noir cake.

    This means you can, say, slap a giant black shotgun on the pegs of the shield on Blurr or Nautica's back, because why not.

    I was talking about the whole "Aligned" thing that Hasbro tries to push, actually (designation: Aligned for "null rays were somehow considered obsolete to single launch missiles for Starscream at one point", thanks RID'15 S3). I honestly don't know what Lenny is, sorry. Apologies in advance.

    Ah, okay, cool shit I was wondering about that, you should totally watch Legion though, it's fucking insane. I do think I am going to try and add noir to the list, I really do have an obsession with black, teal, and red. Speaking of which, black, teal, and red nemesis troop-builder box-set with face plated Titanmasters? Do this please, Hasbro peoples.

    Have you tried cropping them a little? I think I read somewhere here that that can get them to load up properly sometimes.

    if you are uploading them from a mobile device simply edit the pictures in anyway before uploading, that should fix the problem

    I was hoping that this site had a cropping tool when posting pictures since I hate using PhotoBucket these days. But I can't find one. And when I take the pictures it's not like I do it sideways or backwards yet this is the only site where they always come out sideways so IDK.

    Never would have seen Omega in Sky Shadow - but he made it work amazingly well!
