    Still withholding judgement till PX's Insecticons are in my hands, which I hear I should be getting as soon as PE's TM2 Megs becomes in-stock at TCP (even found out PX is sending me replacement clear blades for Caelus as my original ones came broken with my Triton) :D

    Hardshell & scrapnels leg swap looks good
    Also you can use insect legs for wing storage 20181018_100503.jpg 20181018_093120.jpg 20181018_100717.jpg 20181018_093131.jpg

    The leg swaps work in both modes? Am I seeing that correctly? Most interesting.

    Yes, works in both modes for both figures, the crotch piece doesnt line up, but i have not tried just pulling the legs off the ball joints and swaping -- though the purple crotch piece looks like the ball joint posts for the legs are a little longer . Will try it later and see

    I honestly might just skip these guys. I don't know, I'm still undecided, but the small size is still putting me off this late in the game.

    What scale do you collect? I think they go well with CHUG.

    Hey guys, I wanted to know if anyone's PX Kickback is showing stress marks on the clear parts? Particularly the transformation hinges and the balljoints on his ankles? They seem pretty thick but ultimately are still clear parts, so I'm not moving them as much

    I'm disappointed with the lack of pictures from this thread now that they're out.

    I handle my figures a lot, ( these guys about twice a week since i got them in August ) no probs so far
    I try to handle them with kid gloves ( why is it kid gloves? kids are always breaking my stuff?!? )
    but none of the clear plastic on any are showing any issues for me thus far


    I love these guys, however i am disappointed of the plastics used, lightness & thin feel

    Man do we need a new bigger Shockwave. Really hope sales are good enough for Ironhide/Rachet for them to continue with the line.

    It’s sad that these didn’t catch on. I still plan on buying them but I haven’t had the opportunity
