    So about that Shapeways ankle part, I ordered the same one as you (which can be found here for everyone else: Combiner Feet Articulation Add-on (62C2TNNAK) by SteamShield): I GOT SOME GOOD NEWS.

    Totally works, makes the HFG look even wonkier as a foot, but works out of the box with little finagling (Balljoint needed to be worked into its slot and cautiously rotated in its cavity first time around, but works like a charm now).

    I will say though that the hooks on the side molded for a secure fit are functional, probably TOO functional. Stick it on the HFG you WANT to be a foot as taking it off is a tad scary.

    Pics follow, but a bit garbage as my phone is a potato. (Nonnef feet on Bruticus included for comparison)

    I'm still looking for Hand Foot upgrades that I like.

    I'm hoping someone makes g1 toy style feet... super flat and blocky, ankle tilt optional, but not needed. Also I think it might be better for hands that are more MP-10 style. I feel hands where every finger can move just winds up looking spindly.

    Now that all 3rd party want in on the MP game, I feel upgrade kits are sort of lacking.

    Just checked and legends Buzzsaw does have a "working" heaphone Jack. Its neat, but he's still a really weird toy that you probably don't need

    Wouldn't a Rodimus 2.0 need a matrix chamber? I don't know if such a thing will ever be. I kinda hope so because I really like Hot Rod's pointy redness in altmode but I have no need for a character who existed for about an hour.

    I'm the odd man, legends Buzzsaw is my favorite of the wave. In talks of botcon exclusives I love the number of exclusives. I think it would be cool to at least just get the 5-6 figure boxset from a possible future show.

    Very nice, if it's coming over here, I'll give it a pre-order. Since I have the Maketoys version, this is my Betatron, were it makes sense Nosecone's drill is tiny, Lightspeed is just a (really nice) car, and the others have whatever issues they have. This is the prototype version before the team super science'd themselves into Computron proper.
