    @Sam , just wanted to say how much I love these shots! Such attention to detail and nuance in the posing and compositions! It hasn't gone unnoticed ;) 

    Great job all around, everyone! Can't wait to get mine whenever BBTS has him in stock!

    You know. I’ve been on such a dry streak of g1 mp’s I don’t mind having this drag a little. Sometimes it’s good to suffer for things you want. Makes the reward nicer.

    Just got this guy done. Installed KFC hands for Hot Rod w/ nylon screw adapters. 1x blue SMD within the head, 2x bright 5mm LEDs for headlights, 1x warm SMD within one of the blast effects and 2x warm SMD within the shoulder cannons.

    Funny thing happened -- I tried to disassemble his shoulder cannons to install an SMD within them, especially since I need to drill a hole through the centers for the wiring. However, in the attempt, I ended up destroying the original shaft (those metal screws are impossible to get out, even with a desoldering hot air gun). So anyways, I looked though my weapons, spare parts, kids toy box and everywhere in the house for a possible replacement part and lo & behold, I found the exact part I was looking for in the kids LEGO bin. So perfect in fact that after installation, they became the perfect length (in my opinion), as I always felt that the stock cannons were too short. On top of that, they still retain their telescoping ability so I'm able to compress them to the original shorter look as well.

    Overall, I'm pretty happy with the overall look of this guy. Only 2 more Takara KOs left to swap out (Bumblebee & Smokescreen) and my entire collection will be Takara KO free. Blessings to you everyone & have a great week!

    I just got my shipping notice from Hasbro Pulse making their estimated date of arrival of this week come true. Hopefully this means that BBTS will get theirs soon.

    WOO!!! HE'S HERE!!! HE'S HERE!!! I'm a bit bummed that his right hand is a bit loose holding the gun, but I tend to swap gun hands so that's not that terrible for me. But man, I'm so glad that he's finally in my hands. Soon he'll join the others, but for now I think I'll keep him on my computer desk to play with.

    Try screwing in the screws on his inner arm and it should tighten the hand.

    Will give that a try. Think it is the groove inside his hand that is a bit too small, which does not allow the gun to sit flush in his palm. Which from the old Prowl and Bluestreak posts should be easy to fix with a bit of shaving.

    Oh. Sorry. I misinterpreted that. I thought you said the wrists were loose.

    No problem, I'll check those anyways. Might use my original Takara MP-18 as a guinea pig first.
