    So glad I preordered this set & that shot of in half way thru combined form is truly creative.

    I never thought of doing that & now it has given me some display ideas. Yuki is awesome!

    I have to admit, I'm missing the days when Yuki was taking pics of Star Saber, like daily.

    Still those Superion pics are cewl.

    I wonder what happened to to blackface look Superion sported in earlier photos. That seems to have been banished to the four winds.

    Yeah that's weird. I'm hoping the final product still has it.

    Stupid question, are Air Raid and Skydive in leg mode slimmer than the Stunticon legs? The tiny feet aren't as bad for Superion as they are for Menasor's car leg limbs.

    They are a lot slimmer, Silverbolt with Stunticon limbs starts approaching silly levels of being out of proportion.

    I wish they would have made them bigger, so they scale with MP cars, and maybe fix those chicken thighs! ;)

    Chicken thighs will always bother me, but at least you can use the guns on the side and luckily Air Raid and Skydive are thin. The G1 version has no hope. :lol

    That thing is gorgeous. I don't care if Slingshot is a repaint with a new head, the G1 accurate Takara version is much better IMO.
