    No I know
    If you have a cybertron jetfire pull apart his knees then do the same for tidal wave. Swap them. No cutting necessary

    Edit:
    This isn’t mine but it shows the knees

    Yeah I’ve seen that, but he doesn’t come that way, some people would probably want something that doesn’t involve cutting, and some people might not want to buy a Cybertron Jetfire, or rip apart theirs, to do this.

    Oh, it's just a subfaction from BWII. It's just random repaints of figures like Retrax, Transquito, etc. I'm just referring to like, the lesser known toys that were still really neat but probably not enough to get MPs of any form.

    Can't wait to get this set.
    Also definitely wouldn't mind seeing updated head sculpts for the Transmetals. Megatron, Cheetor, Rattrap, Tarantulas... Bring it!

    Did you use the jetfire mod? Either way i would prefer a proper upgrade kit to armada tidal wave because i just love that toy but its just the lacking articulation that ruins it for me

    I would but most of them I don't care for as much as an actual molded piece. Nonnef for example has been doing a bang up job.

    As for G1 figures, well, most of those get reissues quite often, but regardless, I don't see much G1 figure accessories from 3P makers these days. I just can't imagine that G1 or Beast Wars are in more demand than recent toylines are for collectors though.

    Don't forget the repaint sky shadow. Maybe you'll find a cheap junker somewhere

    I think it can go both ways. Beast Wars has a lot of great figures, but many of them have inaccurate accessories, inaccurate body parts, or accessories that were never made for the figure. Speaking of Nonnef, I wonder if Nonnef would consider making a new waist piece for Beast Wars Transmetal Megatron that doesn’t shatter…

    Definitely agree about Cheetor as it is on a balljoint, Rattrap wouldn't be a simple headship though as it would require either pin removal or splitting the head in half as it is glued around a mushroom peg.

    Happy to get an order in for these, not too bothered for Cheetor's axe (my childhood one is complete) but the gun for Rattrap was always a bug bear in how it was always missing and used far more than the rat tail
