    I asked the exact same question a year ago and got some satisfactory replies from other members:

    only front and back?

    Exactly, engines are covered by hoods. Makes perfect sense.

    Now that's a good question. I never bothered to look until you mentioned it.

    Super dumb question but the nose cone/cockpit part does come off of his arm correct?

    I assume it's a parts-forming piece?

    There are no dumb questions, just dumb people who don't ask!

    Yes, it is a partsforming piece.

    ^Thank you sir....

    I have zero attachment to this character but I absolutely love the Fanshobby Monsterbots and this Double Evil figure looks pretty awesome....

    Another point, at 15" he will barely fit in a detolf......

    Look at the colored pictures of where the powermasters sit in the tank and you can see the plates. Although it does remain to be seen if they will do the same with the jet.

    I have no attachment to any character really, but I recognize a cool looking robot when I see it! I love the tampos, the alt-modes and the robot mode, haha I love everything about him!

    $210 at ShowZ. Price is definitely good, let's wait for reviews.

    I jumped on the Fanshobby store cause I thought they would get it out first. Then I find out that they send theirs out last and now other places are selling it cheaper. Kiss my grits!

    For such big tag item I will wait for ebay sale... (but again, I probably won't buy it even I like it very much, just feel redundancy with MMC version in my collection, running out of space and money).
    for example, if Baba will have it as 225 price tag.
    He gives 5 off 120 for sure, so it's really 220.
    15% off = 187
    and 1 or 2% ebucks = another few dollars off.

    I do, and other people as well... They bring flat boring surfaces to life.

    It's the content I have issues with, especially the 'Fans Hobby' and 'Master Builder' ones on the Monsterbots. It cheapens the look.
