Finally got around to figuring out how to make the leg buttons still work with my leg modifications. I can now fully extend the legs and also have them in their original position if I want to.

Here is the button mechanism modifications that I've done: I've filled in the cavity with plastic plates to make it flush with the edge around it, added a small block the same width of the sliding track above the button hole which creates the second locking point, trimmed the bottom of the button and added a plate of plastic to extend the reach of the button to the second locking point, and finally cut out a hole in the plate and the sides of the button hole to fit around the block that was added.



Here are the results:

I wish I could do the modifications for everyone because I do feel like it should have been that way in the first place, but unfortunately it's not something that's easy enough to want to do again. I just felt like those legs could be extended, I figured out a way to do it, and wanted to share it with you guys. Maybe someone can design some 3d printed parts that could do the same thing without needing to cut anything, that would be cool for everyone else.

HFF!!!!! Nice

 

Those are actual parts that will come with MB-11 God Armour.

 

i cannot wait

 

Is the V2 of Power Baser out yet? I’m possibly tempted to get him.

 

not atm

 

Where can I find full details on what the V2 will include/feature?

 

Try here:
MB-06C V2 POWER BASER (PRE-ORDER)
(From the link: ETA end of June/early July)

Okay. So chrome thighs, articulated hands, and the bumper adjuster. Will he still come with the aqua coloured eyes or does he just have red?

 

NOOOOO!!! Don't stop there!!!

(PS That was soooo cool!)

 

So apart from added articulation and chromed parts, everything else is exactly the same between MB 06 and 06C? The head upgrade will still work on 06C then?

 

From the facebook link:

Also with new configurations:
- With Red eyes
- With Adjustable bumper
- With Chrome plated thighs (both core robot & big robot)
- With articulated hands

And yes, the head upgrade will still work.

 

Will it still have green eyes though?

 

Chinese girls do not come with green eyes, Mr. Burton.

 

"I understood that reference"

*insert Captain America gif here...  

 

Really? Huh.

 

Who's Jack Burton?!

I actually haven't checked between my original and black power basers, but did someone on here once say the arm the combined form's head is on is slightly thicker on Black Power Baser (and thus 06C) and less prone to stress?
