    They got a translator for the later 3 volumes, so the comics make a lot more sense.

    Agreed, the bad translation was part of its charm.

    Or just have them send you a right foot?

    One thing I noticed so far is he rolls kinda like shit. There's always a few wheels "floating" and not sitting flush. There's these two green side skirt things that "help" keep him from being floppy I suppose, and they're attached to and plug into the sides. But by "straightening/tightening" it, it actually makes things more lopsided and increased the floaty-ness of the wheels.

    Good morning Robert!

    Thank you for contacting us and I apologize to hear that you are experiencing complications with your new figure. Thank you for providing the photographs as they were very helpful! Unfortunately, we are currently waiting for our replacement parts to be received for the last Warbotron set - Fierce Attack. We are currently awaiting a shipment of the appropriate part(s) from the manufacturer, so there may be a few weeks delay in getting a correct replacement part shipped out to you. We sincerely appreciate your patience. Once received, your part will be mailed to you at no cost. This will be created as an order in your account, so you will receive a shipment confirmation when it leaves the warehouse. Alternatively, if you prefer to have your figure exchanged, please confirm for me if you are able to receive a prepaid FedEx return label by email, and I will be happy to make the appropriate arrangements for you.


    Knowing Warbotron is will be 6 months before they get around to sending out replacement parts to N.A.

    Oh no! You got a Liz reply. She's been the least helpful so far lol. But that sucks to hear :/ but from what I can tell, the only difference in the feet is the tilt and slightly smaller cannon on each foot. Granted the tilt is a pretty major thing, but I would assume you could still combine it and have him in a non-dynamic pose for a few weeks until the replacement arrives.

    The terrible artwork. When they got the translator, they apparently hired a shitty artist to finish the rest of the book. It got mega terrible.

    Also anyone know what these translucent plastic pieces are for? I'm assuming the black backing stuff is for the bottom of the combiner feet (I'll be using blu tack instead and keeping this in the bag however)

    Those pieces are for the combiner foot ankle tilt.

    They chose translucent plastic the that, so they included replacement clear plastic in case the first set breaks. (nice that they included replacements but probably should have included replacements that weren't also prone to breakage).

    Yep. I see. A piece of mine broke instantly after tilting it back and forth. Also, my right foots ratchet seemed lubricated whilst my left one isn't/wasn't.

    They're replacement ankle tilts for the combined mode feet. At this point I feel like a mod should put this on the front page since everyone seems to ask this question.
