    I bought the OS NuRID Strongarm and find that her backpack doesn't fold up in robot mode. Anyone else got one of these and capable of telling me if I'm missing something? It just kind of hangs loosely about forty degrees off. I'll post a photo once my photobucket uploads finish.

    Oh, I saw a few for sale on ebay (and one non-english youtube video) and thought it was already out. Sorry about that.

    Edit: I'd also be surprised if the KO quality is the same as the original.

    You're not missing anything. For some reason, although the mold is otherwise identical to the smaller version, they've changed the molding on the windshield, right where the hinge is for the canopy.

    The recess for the hinge is not as deep, so the canopy cannot fold up as tightly. It's annoying, but something that could probably be fixed with a hobby knife and some spare time. Just need to cut those recesses around the hinges a bit deeper.

    Mind you, the regular Hasbro RID Strongarm's backpack doesn't fold up very well anyway... but better than this one at least. It's annoying, because otherwise the OS version is pretty nice.

    I guess I'll add to the request list, they should do some of the botcon stuff and add their own AOE Hound 2.0 like Wei Jiang but make him 12" tall, and make all the deluxe seekers into Masterpiece. I don't know if it was such a hot idea to let everybody know your in touch with them now your gonna get tons of requests. Thanks anyways though.

    An upscaled DOTM Ratchet would be sweet too.

    Benny Benny Ben...

    The list is as follows...

    Os tftm blackout (leader)
    Os tftm bonecrusher (leader)
    Os aoe galvatron
    Os dotm megatron (human alliance scaled alt, detachable trailer - bot mode leader scale.)
    Mp pink seeker, purple seeker, and red seeker - if kubianbao can do the seeker mold, then they can beat hastak to it. I know for a fact all 3 will sell out faster than a kardasian.

    Sadly a short list, but in that exact order if I can speak for everyone at once... myself, I'd like the seekers first as the ko'ing seems hot on seekers ATM.

    Hey dudes, I recently got a KO (MP12 Lambor), LOVE the figure my ONLY issue and this is a fairly common one as I have read, that I cannot get the white tab above his crotch to slot into the bumper's slot. I also notice when I do the accordion fold to make the upper bod and lower bod to line up is not at straight angles (thus making the upper body sit a tad too high). So, if there are any suggestions to fix this little flaw I would be MOST grateful.

    Either shave the tab or hole till it fits. Take it easy tho so you don't go too far.

    But the trailer is part of the transformation. And the Voyager is a great transformation, just too dang small.
