    I have both kits, and have it in TDW shoulder mode. I have not observed the stress on the chest that other people have reported. However, I don't move it much. I think as long as you have the back support piece firmly plugged in to the stock Grim feet, it should be fine.

    there should be no concern about the shoulders of the tdw configuration, the back plate holds it steady. tdw is awesome, no need to double dip with the PE kit

    I tried several different angles. Unfortunately, the Grim PE feet are not compatible with the TDW shoulder support. This is due to them being larger, the combiner port is at a different spot, and there is no 5 mm peg for the support to lock onto.

    So, if anyone has both sets and decided to use the TCW chest plate, I’d be glad to take the PE Grimlock upgrades off your hands :)

    I might be willing to do that, I’m getting both sets today and I’m going to see what I like the best.

    I went for the Perfect Effect kits plus Nonnef's guns & wing extensions set. With those two combined, the only things I feel are missing are combined mode thigh fillers, and I can't justify buying the whole TDW kit just for those.

    i bought both in hopes they would be compatible. i wanted to be able to have the grimlock upgrades but use the tdw parts for the most part, but that didn't turn out to be the case. so i ended up using the perfect effect kit with the hands and feet from tdw as those are my preferred ones anyway. i think overall i prefer the look of the perfect effect kit.

    Thanks for replying dragonflye18 (BTW, I did see them before, and those are some pretty sweet pics!)

    Okay... how do I describe what I'm asking for:
    Basically it's exactly this, minus everything from TDW, and minus the PE hands and feet (PC-21) [I realise you're only using the gatling guns of PC-21], but with the normal Hasbro POTP hands and feet instead.

    In other words, please retain the Nonnef Gun set, and the PE Torso/Grimlock upgrade including the sword (PC-23), as these are the upgrades I'm leaning towards getting, at this stage.
