This is the clip you need to make sure is clipped in. As soon as I found and rectified it, he held his weight.

 

Yup that is clipped in on mine, certainly a critical piece. Although plastic quality is weak and doesn't plug in too securely on mine. Any shifting and it just wants to pop out. I may hot glue it in since I never plan to take it apart

 

Is he still flopping around?? Another thing to check...

 

If the legs are sitting at different heights it will add to your issue. Only reason I sorted mine was due to the help of a complete stranger in Indonesia. Randomly messaged him through Gcreation China Facebook page and he talked me through it. Solved 99% of my issues.

 

I finally got mine assembled today. I've had Hammer for a week now, but he came in a shipment with Giga's Grassor. I opened Grassor first, so every time I looked at Hammer I was kind of bummed out. Anyway, I spent quite a bit of time making sure everything was perfect. As a result, the legs ended up the same height and even Wrath's thighs are holding together. I found the key to the thighs was making sure everything was lined up and that final panel with the clips made a popping sound. Without that sound, the thighs were somewhat flimsy. I still wouldn't try to pose him too much, but it's definitely in the best shape it's ever been for me.

Almost forgot, I left Wrath's feet the way they are when he's in bot mode. That seems to give a little extra support by resting on Growl and Thuderous. It also looks better that way in my opinion.

 

A great photoshopping by 吖春晖_5do    

 

^ OMG, Downloaded  

 

I discovered last night that it looks absolutely amazing if you turn all the lights out, then use the flashlight app on your smart phone to light him up. Seriously, try it.

 

Are you insinuating that this guy does not look absolutely amazing at all times?  

 

Perhaps I should've said it looks absolutely amazinger with a spotlight?

 

In combined form the waist joint seems wobbly. Does anyone else have this issue? Are there any posted solutions?

 

There was a good posted solution somewhere, but the high level was to just cut a credit card or thin plastic to the waist outline and then reassemble. It helped for me, but then the looseness of the thighs become even more noticeable.

It was a pretty easy mod. I used a credit card and found it was a little to thick when reassembling, so if you have something a little thinner, that would be ideal

 

Well Gcreations got me one more time with QC issues. Thunderous didn't have a rivet on one of his legs and Hammer is missing the part that's supposed to keep his torso locked in place when he's an arm. Only thing that looks close enough to it doesn't have the peg attached. Contacted BBTS hope they can help but I doubt it...

 

I guess I'm just happy they finished it

 

A couple of notes on how to make this guy stand perfect. First off, make sure the chest portion on the LEG BOTS are COMPLETELY OPEN... a lot of people are messing that up on YouTube and on here. Second, I know a lot of people say to point out Grimlock's toes to make him stable... don't, you don't need to do that, try using the default downward method in the instructions. (unless you like that look) Ensure that the connecting joint on Grimlocks legs that connect to the knees of the legs are pointed straight down. Don't use that joint when posing him in a normal stance, take the knee joints of the leg bots and click those one back one click back before assembling. First attach the legs insuring that you didn't cause thunderous to split in the back (that to will make him uneven) When standing without the arms, he will appear to be leaning back slightly, however, once the arms are attached, he will stand perfectly straight and even, without that stupid lopsided look I keep seeing on photos and videos, also he will not fall forward and the thighs on Grimlock will stay in their locked positions without flapping apart. I will take photos this weekend to explain what I am trying to say. Nevertheless, if put together properly, this is a Solid beast of a figure.

 

Any tips to easily un-tab Hammer's legs? Had to use a screwdriver to get it to release. There were stress marks around the tab from fighting with it over 20mins. Carefully used a heat gun to do away with the stress marks...something I want to avoid doing again!

 

Beautiful!

 

Just noticed that Shuraking is crushing Fansproject's Intimidator's head (Menasor) in the photo. Awesome job on this.

 

Shuraking crushes all those who oppose him, even with a double Swoop configuration.

 

You know what. The extra shoulder piece looks like an after thought. It also grants him "Double Shoulder" joints. I don't know if every is tracking this, but yes, he has double shoulders as well, so if your Swoop keeps coming out of the shoulder due to clearance issues, then use the shoulder joint that came with the additional piece, not the shoulder joint on swoop himself. Just FYI.

On a side note, I am curious if this guy can combine without the extra pieces... you know, using only the default shoulders chest crotch and the too leg bots without the feet add-ons. I bet that will more closely match the original fanart that this guy was based off of.
