    And that’s why I accept figures for certain design parts.

    :eek: 
    Cool experiment! The size of the insert is a bit better but the look of the cover style is cleaner. I'm guessing there's no way to shrink the cover style closer to the size of the insert, right? That would be ideal, with the most toon-accurate and smoothest feet, but not the slightly over-sized appearance they have in this trial version.
    Take it off? Or just don't use it in the first place? If you're happy with the wonky stock "feet" nubs, you're all set.

    I hope mine comes in alt-mode, So that I don’t have to transform him!

    It works for me. It’s not permanent and I can easily remove if I need to transform it. Beside I’m one that keeps these figures in robot mode anyways.......I’m sure with more time someone could design/engineer something that works with the transformation. This was quick and simple enough that it remedy the look of the foot for me :) 

    @edgecrusher
    Yeah, now that I see my dimensions work......I want see how much I can reduce the thickness and add the corner bevels as per the box art. I’ll do another test print.
    Thanks

    The next step is to make it transformable!

    I'm hoping the same, although I'm not confident about it. I ordered from Show.z so I assume that's considered an Asian seller, but the decision to apparently box this in bot mode in one region and alt mode in another is perplexing. Regardless, can't wait to to get this figure! This set is looking great!

    Beautiful art man, good job. You excel at portraits so I would almost suggest not trying to be too geometrically realistic with robots but go for a more stylized and over the top look. Just me :2c:

    I love the integration of the combined mode essentials like hands and feet! The engineering alone makes this a true masterpiece TF. In addition, the bot, alt, and limb modes all look great to me. What I've enjoyed most about many of MMC/OC releases is that they're more than just display pieces. I enjoy tinkering with them. Saltus and the tapes, for example, are fun to transform and pose around. They're made to be handled, and these new combiners are no different. Really clever designs and as long as quality/durable materials are used, this set is going to be amazing IMHO. Fans Toys gets a lot of the 3P glory, but MMC/OC and XTB have both been killing it with their recent releases and deserve more recognition than they've been getting.

    agreed, I watched the live stream yesterday while cleaning and I'm very happy to have jumped on the Assaultus train. I really like my Vortex figure and can't wait to get Swindle.

    Is there a version that's not a soul-crushing hour long?

    Yes, there's soon coming a bite-sized version with fast editing, breakneck pacing, and all the most important information tailored, using advanced Google algorithms, for you, the end user.

    I was hoping that in leg mode you could also display Swindle 'hood front'. Atleast that's what Paik's earlier Vortex video implied. But he looks great for the rest though.

    I was going to watch it before going to bed, then saw it was over an hour. Just watched the first 15 mins or so, will watch the rest tonight. But it's so rare to have the actual designer there to comment on things, I think it's worth hearing every bit of the discussion.

    Why that?
    It's not like the transformation is supercrazy or something.
