    thats an entirely fair perspective, i try to keep mold reuse to a minimum as well, at least for characters occupying the same shelf.

    I just collect all Transformers I can, and if something doesn't fit my liking I avoid it.

    Having both, I do feel that the Drillhorn should have been retooled from Takara's Nosecone. I ended up buying a spare Nosecone on eBay to repaint him. Sadly, now that I've gotten Hades to do about everything I want, I'm eventually gonna end up selling my Hasbro custom. It ended up taking like a year designing the parts to connect all six bots together. Far more trouble than it was worth.

    my opinion it is the hand without claws, the one that closes on itself and becomes a weapon for Aiakos

    Yes there’s a clawed version of the hands, that’s why I have the spare set of non clawed hands that I have, mine came with both

    Ha ha - I've had a set of combiner-size clawed hands in my TFs parts drawer for ages and wondered who they were for, cos all my combiners have hands. This answers my question! Thank you :D

    ^^ I prefer the non-clawed hands, but either works fairly well for this character, hope you're able to sort it out, Fisheye....

    As a quick aside: the detailed installation, transformation video of the "Stage 1" knee upgrade kit is live.

    "Stage 2" is coming soon!

    Thanks for all who have ordered! This video should help you install the parts. Also, if anyone is taking apart the legs for any reason, this video may be useful...

    I tore apart one of my tanks tonight and got to the gray socket part and that didn't split apart so the broken connector is still inside. Any other ideas how to get it out?

    Again I'm reminded of why I've never combined mine and I never intend too.

    Mine got stuck too, had to take it halfway apart and then apply some oil to finally yank that little connector out. The piece was savaged by the time I got it out, so I had to install the replacements.

    Just installed the knee brace part of ShadowOfSilver's kit. Works great, much less wobbly.

    You recommend white, but also offer black, parts on the ordering page. Will the black pieces be as sturdy?

    Those labels really make this figure "pop". I purchased those from Reprolabels close to a year ago, and I still haven't applied them. You have reinvigorated this task for me to do so. Thanks for the inspirational pic.
