    I think this guy was the best thing to come out of PotP.

    Cutthroat's blaster is quite lame. I blame budget cuts for that.

    Cutthroat definitely suffered due to budget cuts. I'm honestly fine with the blaster, but the head is what was unacceptable. They should've used pins for that.

    Still waiting for Lancer, but I'm glad we got a Hot Rod/ Rodimus Prime who isn't a Titanmaster.

    Yeah. His head popped off as soon as I opened him up. I regret buying that figure.

    I'm going to put Fort Max and Metro back in their boxes. Any tips for removing the arm? Which was it?

    It would've better if you used something like a heat gun to remove the label and the adhesive with it all at once. That being said, I'm surprised about the residue as POTP era labels were awful and kept peeling off on their own.

    If you really can't get the rest off with something blunt like your finger nail, you can try using rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). Since you are going to paint over your figure, then I don't have to give much else in terms of safety advice outside of having adequate ventilation. If you weren't going to paint over, then I would say avoid placing near any painted areas. Some plastics may dull with use but shouldn't warp or melt.

    Windex is another option but takes forever for the smell to go away (talking like days).

    Edit: None of the safer options will dissolve residue right away. It'll take some time.

    I know a lot of people aren't really raving about him, but I really like this lines Grimlock for some reason. Even though I know he is by no means the best Grimlock we've gotten from Has/Tak.
