    It definitely is much easier than painting and carries its own rewards. I like trying to do customs that look relatively factory so finding the right combination of parts in the right colors can be a challenge in and of itself

    Any idea where to find the figure? I tried searching eBay but found nothing. Know anyone who might be selling? I’ve been looking for a slimmer and not as bulky elites-1 from POTP

    No manipulation at all. My desk has an overhead light that brings that eye to life every time. The piping is so good that it doesn't even need direct lighting to work.
    HasTak hits it out of the ballpark as far as light piping for Shockwave goes.

    Ya I hit 10 instead of 6 dam autocorrect lol but my siege figs hold both fine as u see in the last pic! If the hasbro had the knee joints they would rock! Also mine takara ones feel stronger then hasbros! So I guess it all depends on your taste! Mine I like more articulation on my toys lol! Also they look cooler to me lol. Pulse I have more fun transformering takara haha so that’s def just a taste thing though lol

    Wonder why that's titled Cyberverse, though?

    Man... really wished they could have used some of the budget for the cargo/coal tender/weapons platform to cover the back half of the shuttle.

    3 Pack toy deco Refraktor with his cartoon counterpart. The look pretty good together, actually. My head-cannon is they are a special ops unit reporting to Soundwave. The toy deco ones are the commanding officers while the cartoon ones are their subordinates, produced in greater numbers with identical body types.

    And here's a close up of Kremzeek just because he's so darned adorable.

    It's shame. The only one I could find is one on eBay that's part of a set sold for $850. :( 

    Are there any other 3rd Party options for Elita out there? I have the POTP one and it's ok, I guess, but I'm not crazy about the alt mode and what it does to the robot mode. Also, I would a figure that looks better next to Siege Optimus.

    At the moment I'm contemplating removing the jet parts backpack.

    I agree. I had really hoped that you could dismantle part of the tender car and use it's panels to help fill in the back of the shuttle. But sadly it looks like they are all pinned together. :( 

    Edit: So some of them do pop off but they still don't fit onto the shuttle. That seems to be a bad oversight as to the design.

    However there are still some peg holes are are not being used in shuttle-mode that look like they would be perfect to use as attachment points for a 3rd party add on. Now we just need someone to design a half-shell that could just fit over the back half of the figure and streamline it all out.

    Arrived today via BBTS:

    I recognize the figures on the artwork but couldn't positively ID these two: the one with the drill and the blue purple one (soundwave?)

    Edit:
    I'll put more pics up later but this is unboxing (and Jetfire for scale):

    Prowl with the Matrix Workshop upgrade kit. These really help complete his silhouette and should help differentiate him from his brothers once they eventually arrive.

    He might be a prick, but he's an individual prick.

    ... wait, what?
