    Shapeways sell a upgrade kit to fix sloppy upper body slop for the OS KO. It forces the shoulders to lock in place and made it 1" taller. Had to
    Spray paint it silver to match.

    Keeping them in bot modes. Only downside is having the combiner pieces off to the side.

    The Warbotron combiner parts can make a decent weapons platform to put next to them if it happens to appeal to you. Here are a couple of versions (some are made with the OSKO set, but the parts are the same)

    Behind Blast Off, the toes articulated up so the feet stand on end.

    Ooooh nice! I only knew of that first one, but the 2nd and 4th pic I'll probably end up trying to do. Thanks!

    Ooookay, had my eye on the set for a while, but sorta want the osko by jinbao. How is it compared to the original, and is the listing on amazon the proper jinbao kit?

    I believe his shoulder to act as a gun mount. I can't remember if it could tab into the arm to allow arm mount or not (I couldn't find any pictures of it, so probably not).

    Ahhh OK. I don't have any of their weapons so it's mostly useless for now.

    I believe it is just a 5mm port, so any weapon with a 5mm peg would work with it.

    I think it's time to move mine as well. He had a good run. I never even look at it anymore.

    Genuine question, what vehicle is Onslaught meant to be? He looks like it was modeled after a real life military vehicle.

    Look up an Oshkosh M1070.
    One of the things I love about this Onslaught's alt.

    Looks like a double reference there, it is hard to be certain, but it looks like that may be the tank WB Brawl was based on.

    So. Question. Who gets what in the X-Ray kit? I guess any part of it could go to anyone, but it just seems like some parts are better suited to some characters than others. Anyone got either an official rundown or good ideas?

    I love the barrels doubling as daggers, that's pretty doggone neat.

    I don't remember if I followed pictures in the instructions or if I just came up with it on my own but I always gave the staff/barrel to Onslaught, the swords to Blastoff, the knives to Swindle, the gun to Brawl and the nunchucks to Vortex.
