The bits are held in place just by friction, and they tend to pop out during transformation. I'm going to ask you something stupid: did you check that the bits did not get stuck to the part of the figure that plugs in there during transformation? It always happens with my figure (I hope I made myself clear: not a motherlanguage here).

 

no thats totally what happened. i was wedging the bit off cuz it got SUPER stuck on the back of the wing-things that plug into 'em there and "FWOOP" the piece went flying off never to be seen again

 

I guessed so. Sorry man, I think the only thing to do is trying to contact TFSource's customer service and ask for a replacement part. However, it isn't that small a piece. So unless you have a very hairy moquette in your room, you might come across the missing bit eventually.

 

Yeah, I'm talkin to tfsource now about it. We'll see!

 

Moved heaven and earth and I FINALLY managed to find the piece

Needless to say, i soaked the bottom of that thing in superglue so hopefully that should help some xD

 

Glad to hear that, man! Enjoy your awesome Genesis!

 

Hey guys, sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I was wondering how the shoulder joints are holding up for those of you who have had this thing since its release. I'm interested in getting one, but I'm a little concerned about the weight of his arms wearing out the joints.

 

Still fine on mine.

 

Fine here. Despite its heft, Genesis can handle it.

 

Probably one of the best figures ever made.

 

For sure!

 

Mine is still holding up the shelf above him. In a squat position because he is so big!

iDD

 

I am curious: is there any embellishment around for the base mode? The biceps are hanging around...

 

Jodorovski?

 

Well, I bought this one for display with CW Combiners...


Components :

Main Robot x1
Claw x1
Main Rocket Part x1
Assistance Rocket Parts x2
Head Tank x1
Red Unmasked Head Tank(Add-on) x1
Blue Unmasked Head Tank(Add-on) x1
Led Units x5

LED units don't work, but I don't care. 




Base Mode :

This mode is not introduced in the manual. Genesis has a base mode with partsforming similar to G1.



Transforming Base to Spaceship :

Rocket is very tightly connected. To prevent breakage, consider sanding the joints slightly. The transformation is complete when separated rockets are combined into the main body.




Spaceship Mode :

Genesis's spaceship mode looks very similar, though slightly different from what is seen in the FOC.



Transforming Spaceship to Robot :

Each part is separated and recombined very tightly through the mushroom pegs. There are parts that look scary because of the weight, but plastic seems to bear the weight well. It would have been better if some of the weight-bearing parts, including the rocket joints mentioned in Base Mode, were made of alloy.




Robot Mode :

Robot mode is exactly the same as the FOC and is a wonderful homage to G1. The size is similar to the Supreme Class of Hastak. Each joint used a very tight ratchet mechanism. Nevertheless, balance is a little shaky because of the large upper body.

Overall :

Each mode of Genesis is very good and can pose dynamically. Parts that are concerned about durability, such as rocket joints and mushroom pegs, need to be a little bit disappointing and careful.
If you need an Omega Supreme that is smaller than Titan Class, this seems to be the best choice. Recommended.
