I hope you mean the 3rd best con in the movieverse behind Megatron and barricade. All hail NITRO ZEUS!!!

 

"All hail" a character that appeared less than five minutes in the movie and said a few dumb lines? No thanks. You guys have a really low bar for what excites you from movie decepticons. I cant wait until a decent director handles the transformers movies, excited to see Travis Knights work.

 

You take what you can get  

 

So i totally sounded like a dick and i apologize. I'm just bitter because i havent seen a depiction of the decepticons on the big screen thats really satisfied me. I will say that in spite of the flaws that age of extinction had, Lockdown was a fantastic villain. I wish Hasbro could make a figure worthy of him

 

I bet they go to the same bar.

 

When I got him earlier this month, I was rather suprised on how well he transformed and that some parts of his Titans Return compactibility was implemented.Though his neck joint was slightly loose, so I turned his head round and now his neck is slightly more secure.  

 

Finally got him, and he's pretty cool. However, he desperately needs ankle tilts. I was a bit miffed when I found he had none. Ankle tilts would've made this guy perfect.
But aside from that, he's pretty darn great. Lots of fun, involved transformation, looks great in both modes. I'd recommend. Also, his jet mode is gloriously beautiful. The undercarriage, despite its size, blends in quite well, and the overall shape of the jet just looks fantastic.

 

I got mine from Amazon entirely to be Thunderwing (obviously by using the Siege sets Thunderwing Headmaster), to which I'm satisfied. I'm not overly thrilled with him to be honest, I've got 2 QC issues which don't seem to be entirely uncommon, though one of which is irrelevant to me; The Nitro head just wants to bobble head, badly and come off with minimal force. The second is that one of the legs requires an absurd amount of force to snap into the torso to align properly to tab the foot into the thruster, but outside of doing it that first time, if I ever get around to transforming him again, I probably won't bother. As a minor aside, both of the thruster "caps" on the backpack popped off on my first transformation.

It looks great as a Voyager sized IDW "inspired" Thunderwing, which is what I wanted. He's got a lot of weapons, which I like, and he turns into a nice jet all things considered, but I just don't love it. The transformation is different and while I can't think of it, I'm certain it's not unique, I just can't recall who else uses the same/similar scheme.



Paying under standard sticker price and having it delivered to my doorstep, I can't really complain.

 

This happens to me as well, be careful because it puts insane stress in the chest part that snaps into the leg. I think it'd be just a matter of shaving the leg part it pegs into just a bit (shaving the peg in the chest area is a bad idea because his robot arm pegs there for robot mode too). What I do now is to push the leg down a bit before pegging it in and generally it just slides in at a certain magical angle.

Just don't brute force it because I'm sure it's a potential breakage area.

 

From here on out, I'm not even going to bother. Transforming it without locking that leg in is quite possible and TBH I'm not sure how often I'll be transforming him anyway. I read a review that said to loosen the screw right there to give more flex room to the hook in for the leg, but mine are so tight that I'm stripping the screwhead instead of moving it. Not a deal breaker for me.

 

has anyone found a way to fix his lose head mine keeps bobbling around i tried floor polish on the fake tr head ports but no go on it

 

Stick a piece of paper in the neck socket

 

still looking to buy this guy's stock head off someone if the price is right. make it easier on yourself to make it thunderwing  

 

Quick easy mod to give more range of movement to the right elbow

Cut the away the plastic on the forearm at the angle shown




Boom 90, no effect to transformation, no rubbing

 

Thats amazing! Thats a major issue too. Wish i had the technical skills to do that

 

I believe in you!!!! You can do it with a file, or just some sandpaper
