Quick question for members that used future. After applying it to the chrome and it dries does it feel sticky to the touch? I've only ever used it to tighten up joints.

 

I have the exact same question but for both future and clear nail polish.....I've only used them on joints.

 

Pre-MP27, Prime's arms are the only thing that come to mind with questionable proportions. Every other MP has had perfect or near perfect proportions. I dare not utter 3P in here, but there are many...I would say most...that have perfect proportions as well. All transform fine. It's actually really simple; has a single person complained about Shockwave's proportions? Nope...know why? Cause they're correct! Legs, arms, torso are all proportional to one another. Some may gripe about the feet, but that isn't really a proportions issue.

Ironhide and Hot Rod both have poor proportions. It doesn't make them bad figures, they have a lot of good things about them, but they are glaring flaws to me and many others.

 

Thanks Prime135

 

Finally fiddled with him. Despite the initial transformation from vehicle to robot being a bit frustrating with the last part -- tabbing the head to the backpack -- he's a lot of fun to pose:

 

your shoulders are all over the place

 

No, once it's dry it's dry. It's pretty quick too but I try not to touch until a full day after applying.

 

I have to say about the great customer service by HLJ. I was uming and rring about returning hot rod. The arm tab to the windscreen looks like it had snapped and had been glued back on, the tab from the window was stuck in the arm. Generally display the figures as robot so was not that worried, but then saw the glue mark down the arm. HLJ replied to my enquiry, within and hour. Offered replacement, refund or keep and discount. I opted for replacement, they will pay the shipping back and free shipping back to me for the new figure. So impressed with the speed of replys. Def got all my future mp business.

 

Thanks DoodleBrandon for helping with our enquiry.

Wow that's the worst I've seen and definitely worthy of a replacement. I cannot speak highly enough of HLJ. They are by far the best and I'll never shop anywhere else. Just waiting for them to put up the Delta Magnus pre-order.

 

The in-hand pictures make him look fantastic. For all the complaining people did upon seeing the early promo photos, I think he ends up looking like one of the better MPs.

 

The one he's referring to in my Ironhide review is actually the targetmaster that came with Generations Cyclonus.

 

exposed forearm screws, so lazy!

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, I'm sorry if it has. I shared this on the MP 28 QC thread and wanted to share it here for people with ground clearance issues:
I can get the ever so slightest of clearance from the neck piece by pushing up on it. There's this tiny notch on the chest where the orange neck piece is supposed to rest on. By pushing it up towards the front of the car (not up towards the hood/engine block) in alt mode will allow for the underside of the neck piece to rest on the notch. But I think that either the tires are not round or the pins their on where not driven straight in cause when it rolls, I can see the clearance to the floor disappear and reappear.

I hope that this helps 

 

Thanks for the tip, Robotmonkeys! I'll try it next time I transform this guy  

 

Engine block removed, prep'in for paint.... be gone shoddy chrome !

 

Good luck! I added quite a bit of upward pressure with both thumbs until it moved ever so slightly. You know you did it cuz the piece of plastic on the underside of the neck piece will sit perfectly in the notch on the chest.
Sorry no pics, I'm currently at work and it was late last night and somewhat frustrating...

 

Looking forward to your tutorial!  

 

Dang man, I wish I had the ball bearings to attempt such a feat! Good luck Moxi!

 

thanks guy's ! dont know why the future thing didnt work out for me, maybe the brush i used wasnt clean (as i thought) but i couldnt stand orange show'in through, so ive just bit the bullet and sort'in it myself ! i used to do custom's but yeah, it's nerve-raking to take apart a fig like this lol

 

In the meantime, here's a pic of Roddy in the daylight with his new silver pipes
