    When I bought this set because I wanted Uranos look like the good ole G1 Superion I know and love. From looking at the pictures on TF source, Amazon and you tube reviews decided to get it. So here's my review

    Good: Good applications all around. The missiles make the jet modes stand out betwixt look like real jets, despite of the warm colors on the jets. The big black gun is excellent. Instead just have Uranos holding his gun I made a arm cannon like Megatron instead.

    BAD: the white thin pieces of plastic hinders Uranos' head movement a little bit. The Missiles I have to remove when I put him in combine mode, yes the missiles can get knocked off. However I am still brain storming on how to get all of the missiles to work with him on his body not against him. Currently I have crowded baggie with his kibble in it...Not a fan of kibble but I'll live

    Overall: I like the figure, it took a while for Uranos to grow on me. After all the trouble shooting I have done this set, it was rewarding getting the wings of Uranos.

    Great review, I recently got Uranos too and man I love the detail on the combined bot. I like how you placed the guns I'm going to do the same. Looks awesome.

    One thing I hated was the original chest piece that came with Uranos; mine fell apart bc those stupid pins kept sliding out.

    Ooh man don't remind me about Phantom ray that turns into a chip-n-dales bow tie on Uranos's chest lol. What I did with the "dink" bot before wings of Uranos, I lined the pegs up on the ports on Uranos chest. From there I did the rest of the transformation to get a tight fit...However it was total waste of time when I moved him around for posing, moving his arms the legs got in the way most of the time.
    Now I just have him in a bag til I come up with an idea to incorperate him to the chest piece if possible. If not he will be in the bag of kibble or on the back of black bird in jet mode

    How I am displaying Uranos now...Well he's hanging out with Bluestreak though.

    Well this is how I am displaying Uranos now! Had time on my hands to mess with him. Got all that kibble on his body-that's a good thing.

    Thread over a thousand...Thanks everyone

    Since others dig these pictures of Uranos. Here are some more pictures of him. Thanks to T2rx's tutorial on how to fine tune Uranos hips, Uranos can hold poses a lot better.

    A quick request: could someone take a shot of the inside of the chest plate? I've thought about getting this kit to give the missiles and guns to the CW Aerialbots, but I think I read that the chest plate has a 5mm peg to work as a shield. If that's the case, it could possibly be put on Silverbolt's back to make a backpack, which would put most of the parts to work.

    Sure thing

    I will take a shot of the chest plate for you later today for you. I will send you a private message when I upload the photos. If you can get that chest plate to work as a back pack please send me pictures and information. I tried to get the chest plate to work a shield, to me that's a photoshop tease. It doesn't peg in well on Black birds arm

    Thank you so much! It looks like all it would take is a 5mm rod or other connector to use the TFC chestplate as a backpack for CW Superion.
