    I'll admit that was partly my fault. I tried bidding on the same one you ended up winning. :D

    I'm curious. Those who have a Cyclonus & Nighstick and also a Silverbolt, is it possible to put Nightstick, in gun-mode, where Silverbolt's gun usually goes in alt-mode? (underside of the nosecone). Picture would be great too, but it isn't necessary. I'm curious enough to see if he can fit there or not.

    It's a little loose, but it fits. It likes to swing from side to side, but it doesn't fall right out

    Ok, thanks. Shouldn't be too hard to make it so that he fits in there tighter. I'll be painting both him and Silverbolt, so that should help.

    I think he's confused by the same thing I was, initially... writing it on your page like this:

    ***1/2 out of 5

    doesn't read quite the same as

    3.5 out of 5

    since people are trained to look at asterisks as a content intensifier/qualifier on web pages. If you're gonna give it three-and-a-half stars out of five, it would read better if you just typed out the words, or actually made an illustration, I think.

    On topic, I love this guy, but I'm definitely holding out for the Henkei version. Purple metal = teh winzors.

    Thanks for reading everyone.

    Yeah, I'm changing the format in future. Going with numerical now. Also experimenting with the review style. Thanks for your feedback everyone.

    3.5 out of 5's pretty high though. I love Cyclonus and his "glowy ass eyes" as a friend put it. But yeah, I suppose it does seem kinda low.

    Today I looked at nightstick and saw that he had a minicon peg for a handle. I stuck him onto drill-bit since he was the nearest minicon. The result was silly looking, and when I pulled nightstick back out the tiny peg in drill-bit's port came with him. SO: If you want to use Nightstick in such a manner, make his interior hole bigger first so that he doesn't disable your minicon's gimmick. Thankfully Heavy Load doesn't have a minicon activated gimmick that Drill-bit needs the peg for.

    Yeah, I like looking at silly looking things. And a drill gun sounds funny.

    Yeah, Nightstick's handle is NOT a Mini-Con hardpoint. I tried this the first day as well and apparently I should be thankful that it wouldn't even fit the Mini-Con I tried.

    I'll take a pic when I have some extra time.


    I guess maybe my drill bit has a big port? I dunno. You're lucky though. I'm just glad I didn't try to use him on Over-Run since that's the only minicon I have that is actually paired with a bot that has a function for it.

    That's what happens when they hook up to every guy that comes along. :D 

    In seriousness, checking Nightstick on Over-Run, it seems like the pin is the only thing preventing the grip from fitting. In which case you probably have a Nightstick with a very slightly wider hole. Which means it's your Targetmaster that's the slut, not the poor castrated Mini-Con. :thumb

    I'm planning on getting both, the Henkei actually being Cyclonus.
