Ah I see. I still find it crazy they didn’t think to give him one insignia. Did you do the bot mode as well? If so, how did it go putting on this forearm parts. They seem a bit confusing.

 

mine arrived from baba today quicker than i thought it would , i have not transformed it yet but the paint looks flawless , going to slap a watersilde on it at some point today let that dry then transform it to robot mode

"edit" also those facesculpts!! this was worth it for them big big improvement over the original

 

They did give 2 or 3 autobot insignias. I just chose to use my own dry rubs. Furthermore, the space where the "dancing lady" symbol used to be on the previous release, on either side of the engine, looks kinda blank and the sticker sheet doesn't really provide anything for that space. Hence my own autobot decals.

I haven't done the forearms yet, but u're supposed to apply some transparent stickers to fill up the "pits" on the forearm, so the whole sticker goes on after that. I'm thinking to simply cut out the red and black portions to apply in the "pits", leaving out the outer frame altogether. At the moment, I'm also mulling over applying the shoulder stickers. I'm skipping the ones for the side of the chest cause the plain white already has the chest looking quite integrated.

 

Ah I see. Style clashes I guess. Regardless, I hope you figure out a way that suits you best.

 

i just can't get the head split apart why the hell did they make it such a tight fit  

"edit" done it  

 

Does it still have the front wheels sagging issue and alt mode underside rolling clearance issue like the previous releases all had?

 

mine didn't sag but it still has the problem in robot mode with the legs where the back bits and side bits don't stay in place when you move the legs , the shoulder rocket launcher peg still has the gripping problem the slightest touch and it pings off , the forearms are loosish like the original

with that said i much prefer this deco and with a large clear backed waterslide on that white hood/chest looks awesome ... the facesculpts really help too!!

 

Got my Cell version and everything is much tighter than the original with no sag. Love the face sculpt and coloring much more than the original. The white chest flaps make a big difference.

 

How the hell do you change the faces?

 

it's a bitch but i found this helpful, i had the pry tools from fixing phones already the disc one is what i used and worked a treat

 

Thank you

 

That video and the reality of prising the head apart and threading the screw in the new face are worlds apart...

 

Just make sure you have a flat head spudger handy.

 

once i watched the video i prised it apart easy and the screw come out and went back in no problem

 

Mine (both original and C actually) was incredibly difficult to prise apart, even with a tool. The replacement face wasn't threaded either and the head was initially way too lose on the ball joint. I had to take it back off, remove the back piece, then thread it as deep as I could without cracking it before it was finally somewhere near tight enough. Still not as tight as the stock face though.

 

So with this new reissue, does anyone think they will release the original version at sometime? Or should I just get this one and be content

 

I'm selling my PS-01A if that's the one you're looking for.

I thought this was a typo and deathsheadii was just rolling with it to be funny. After the third time, I looked it up and it's a real word. I've never heard this word before. Always just said "pry."

 

I think it's a British English thing.
