    I'd imagine they'll come with toy heads with alternative cartoon heads pack with Silverbolt. Or the next 3 limbs will come with both styles and Air Raid comes with Silverbolt. Doesn't make any sense to swap styles halfway through.

    Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. I'm fine with either of those options, as long as we get the heads in both styles.

    I made a head for my os uranos. Used feral rex helmet and cw devastator face and fabbed the accent on top. That's how I "see" superion 20180106_120949.jpg

    Air Strike's front landing gear bay door can't close all the way when you try to store the landing gear in jet mode, right?

    It's not just my copy?

    Sorry if it was already spoken about. Are they making toon heads for the ones already released too? I guess they will come with the other bots not yet released?

    I haven't transformed mine to jet mode yet but that's rather disappointing to hear. I hope someone updates this thread with a confirmed fix for this.

    I'm hoping Zeta includes a new front landing gear that fits in the bay better.

    Right now I just pop it off and store it in the nose cone.

    I've watched video reviews, and I still don't fully understand how the nosegear works---but in short----surely there was a better way to do it, than how they did? "Having to un-transform the front half of the jet" alone is just a bad choice/design, but to also STILL not make it really work/retract properly after all that? I mean, if it was like a steerable shock-absorbing design with working oleos, then yeah, extra complexity and annoyance may be justified. But for all its pieces etc, it still can't simply "retract into its bay and close the door"?

    Not out of the box it seems, you can trim the spring though to reduce the force after which you can close it.
    Hardly ideal but it works.

    So you've tried it and it worked? How much of the spring did you cut off? What did you use to trim it?

    My landing gear does stow away. Probably depends how strong your front spring is, but mine can with no effort.

    Thanks. Do they respond promptly (unlike Badcube & Dx9)?
    While we're at it is there one for Toy World, Unique Toys and Yes Model?

    Yes.
    I trimmed off 2 coils, then stretched the spring out so it was back to the original length, which was just a guess but it removed enough tension from it to let it stay closed. I removed the pin so i could get the whole spring out to trim it with pliers.
    As @o1dpain1ess says it will depend on how strong the one you have is.

    I used a pair of pliers to crush my spring together...but yeah you need to pop the pin out first to get to the spring. If you look at it closely there's a little bump where the strut is supposed to stop but the spring is too strong and pushes right past it.

    Ugh I hate pin removal. Fingers crossed that my spring is fine as is.

    How do you even get the spring out? I haven't tried but I don't recall that you can just pull the wheel stem out.
