Ah, okay. Also, I hear the arms are pretty crap. Any way to articulate them or do they come fine?

 

Only problem with the arms I've had were with Slingshot's arms. His shoulder joints were loose on one, the elbows on the other. Also, none of them have wrist swivel. Though you can find upgrade parts available on Shapeways. (New wrists, hands, and heads are available for most. I believe Silverbolt is the only exception at the moment)

As arms for "Superion", I find using the back of Fire Flight's/Slingshot's legs provide more range of motion, but it means Superion's gun hits Fire Flight's tail. I may turn Fire Flight's legs around, but I haven't had time to trim down his kneecaps to help the range of motion when combined.

 

Oh. I just read on Sirtoys you had to remove and re-peg the arms. Seems weird.

 

You do. There is no shoulder rotation. Some folks have been able to force the rotation by compressing the peg, but I would assume that would wear down the peg so it wouldn't hold if you posed the arm doing anything but pointing down. Also the plastic is so fragile I'd be concerned about breaking.

 

Sorry Dcast, I misunderstood what you meant. Yeah, like Robh said ^, the limb-bots are missing the feature the original TFC versions included that provide arm rotation. For me though, it's a very minor problem.

 

Just got OS Snarl and Lockdown from Sirtoys. Both are very very awesome. Thanks Paul!

 

Looking good man, glad to see others taking the jump. I bet SXS Stack upgrade kits have never been so popular  

You can go even further......



And turn him into an MP scaled titan. Only thing is he'll be taller than CW Devastator like this. This will be even more refined in time when the individuals get their new arms/feet.

 

Oh. Well, I guess I'll have to figure out a way to change the pegs so that they'll rotate.

Also, fragile plastic? How fragile?

 

Yeah I was afraid to even try to rotate the arms so I just disconnected the limbs to rotate. The joining and unjoining of arm limbs is its own feat too, very tight. Like prom night in the 50's tight

 

On second thought this seems like not the best venture. I think I'll stick to the diecast toys.

 

It's great as a display figure. Just pose and leave alone

 

Not my thing. I like toys that can actually move.

 

BTW, I'm planning on starting a review channel. The first one's the KO diecast prime. Can you post video reviews of KOs here?

 

You can in the dedicated section at the top of the Third Party forum.

 

I'm still trying to determine whether the OS Silverbolt would make a good torso for the official bots. I currently use a CW head on it, and fear that would look way to small, even if the overall proportions were improved.

 

The OS Superion looks really good.

 

Are there any reviews for the Voyager-scale RID figures, preferably video reviews?

 

New Transpeed. (Hit the gallery).

 

Does anyone here have a picture of KO MP-18 Streak's head? I was hoping to use it for a custom, but I've heard bad things. Thanks!
