    I managed to get one of the $45 Jetfires. Love this thing, but I gotta know if there is any way besides the gunbiner block to mount the chest plate in jet mode.

    Weird question for you folks who got Omega already:

    Will any G1 Minibots (especially Gears) fit in the rocket?

    Thanks!

    Hah so as it happens it was the bit I was talking about originally x) oh well thanks for clarifying. Sorry to hear it's not clipping in properly :( 


    Also I hadn't been intending on getting any of the power dashers as I didn't think much of them when first revealed, but now seeing them in the plastic and not just digital renders or toy show photos and several of them really appeal. Especially the yellow Drillhead one and the Sixgun redeco... though with all these colours along with the original 3 Weaponizers (Come on UK shops restock Brunt!) I'm thinking it might be possible to make a Megazord/Voltron style colourful mega robot :D

    indeed a common issue.
    on my ironhide I managed to kinda fix it(it requires a bit of fiddling, but I can get it to stay in)
    I first hollowed out the slots/holes a bit with a screwdriver as the entire panel would sometimes fall off, and then I used hot water(hot air might work too) to soften the plastic and bend the "arms" with the holes in them together a little.
    this increased friction, and might straighten out things a little.

    He gives back as good as he gets in a firefight!

    Jetfire is still my very favorite Siege figure.

    Zetar is neat. I don’t give a rip about the Powerdashers as characters, so he’s going on the Decepticon shelf.


    Fanmade altmode to distinguish him from Brunt a little more:

    I also got Generations Selects Nightbird yesterday, and I have two thoughts:

    1. I’m glad I finally have a Nightbird.

    2. I’m glad I didn’t buy Siege Chromia.

    Nightbird is the one Siege figure I never once even considered.
    As for the Powerdashers, I initially didn't want them, but after getting Zetar, I now NEED the other three. Especially the Sixgun repaint. he looks so good!

    I feel like Nightbird is the first time I've wanted to bother with that mold at all. Closest I got prior was picking up Novastar for a buddy, though we've not yet arranged to get her to him. Not that Nightbird seems better or anything, I think it's just the colors I've liked most and I figure I might as well try that mold out at least once.

    In before Tigatron or Orangeitis: It's not the same mold! :p 
    There's some slight shared engineering but ultimately they are not the same.
