    That actually looks decent, but I bet there are some parts that are now unpegged/loose.

    I was already planning on getting them all, but now I'm impatient! Can't they hit retail yet?

    The configuration in that first photo looks so good. It's tempted me to get these guys now

    Thighs are swiveled inward facing each other instead of facing forward.

    I like this configuration

    This right here is the way I've been planning on posing mine for months now.

    Motormaster arrived yesterday, so now I just wait for his limbs to arrive.

    Yep, this is it. This how I'm transforming Menasor when the rest of the limbs come in.

    Yup. When those third party hands and feet come out these figures will be even better.

    All he needs is a little bit of love and a complete ignorance of the way Hasbro wants people to transform him to make it look awesome.

    These configs are amazing. Gives Menasor a bulkier look than Superion and fixes a ton of the proportion issues. Definitely copying those. Honestly can't believe how a little bit of alternative transformation can make the figure shine.

    Has anyone here tried the transformation of the first picture? Does it still retain most of the hip articulation this way?

    It should do. The hips can move forward, back, in and out.

    He suffers from small feet syndrome. Definitely like proportions on Superion better.

    Yep, as usual "we" always jump to conclusions based on crappy promotional photos.

    Can't wait to start assembling this guy!
