    Thank you!

    I personally like Challenger's scale a lot more especially in vehicle mode, he stillstill good with bumblebee, ironhide might be a little short for him tho (in bot mode at least) the alt mode for ironhide looks too big next to optimus. I know im rambaling about about scale it's still got its importance somewhat

    Look what I just did!
    I created a small mold by putting some glue with a glue gun behind one of the masks and letting it dry. Then I pasted the small mold inside one of prime's pecs, so now I have face storage, and can take both everywhere and I can swap them whenever I want! Also, the pec piece has no trouble being tabbed in it's place!
    (Thought this was a pretty cool thing some of you might like)

    <insert joke about Prime taking people's faces here>

    That's really clever, though. Nicely done.

    Thanks! I first thought of doing it in the feet, fut it was a bit exposed. Inside of the pec, even if it maybe unglued or the face falls, it's still protected

    (Works great in truck mode too)

    Now that I've had discussions about getting replacement parts for mine, I decided to try it out and try transforming it. It is a really nice toy! Can't wait to get the new parts I need!

    I don't know, I'm always on the fence when it comes to buying the same thing twice. How much better is the V2 compared to the V1?

    The entire mold and molding is perfect, except for the painting it's not the greatest but I can deal with it

    Hmm i haven't had the V1 but the flames on the arms stand out, also other areas aren't as dark, on my V2 everything blends fine

    How did you fix the hips? A lot of v1 owners have major loose hips.

    You apply a very tiny dose of super glue to the joint and move it forwards and backwards as it dries. This usually helps to make friction joints stronger

    Another example is my TLK leader class megatron, where the outwards movement on the legs was so loose the legs would spread and it fell, but now the legs are just as hard as you would like.

    Only problem is that you have to move it constantly, otherwise you could end up with extremely tight joints (or straight up pasted)

    A lot of my silver areas have chipped; in the head antennas, in the smokestacks part, the red parts on the feet. Also the two ends of the sword, etc.
