So much awesome occurring here, don’t know where to start!
To head to head pose is a stealer. I’m gonna try to replicate in my Detolf cabinet, although it may be too narrow for both to fit.
how often do you dust? It looks impeccably dust free. That’s prob what’s keeping me from letting go of my glass enclosed cabinets.
Great display DeanML!

 

Wotofa makes really great transformation videos. No English spoken but his methodical movements are precise and he explains through motion.

 

Aw thanks, that means a lot, buddy! I try to dust about once a month, but sometimes I slip, sometimes I dust some figures and shelves more often than others. If I take a figure off to fiddle with I'll go ahead and dust him with a brush. I love your glass cabinets, but I gotta have an open display so I can grab them with ease any time I get the itch! Speaking of your cabinets, maybe just have Optimus and Megatron in close quarters, mace and ax locked in combat? I'd love to see a shot when you get to it!

 

Vvrrrooooooommmm!!!!!!!!!

 

Did an experiment on my copy and took out the faux gas tanks. Now it tabs properly. Soooo. I realized the faux gas tanks were too long and does not flush if you try to put em back while on alt mode.
Shaved off roughly half a mm of the gas tanks and did not put back the screws attaching it. Now it works and tabs perfectly.
I hope kfc or dr wu can make a gas tank that will fit perfectly

Shave off the area closer to where the other half of the gas tank meet.

Ill send pics if you need em

 

How do I keep this gas/blue bit tabbed into the side here?

 

Made from styrene?
Nicee

 

Man, love that display! Especially Starscream complaining to Megatron. Every character is doing what we remember them for. A little glimpse into D ML’s mind.

 

Are the inside of the legs plugged into the crotch piece?

 

Try taking off the gas tank. Theres a screw behind it. Then attach the tab again. See if it will fit now.
ill send you some pics when i get back home later

 

Freakin beautiful

 

Thank you so much  

 

Amazing display dude!
I don’t think prime and Megatron could be illustrated, in any medium, looking more dynamic than you’ve got them there!
Any tips on how you got the stand to actually support prime? That little black locking tab on the stand doesn’t seem to stay or “click” well enough to hold his weight. Apologies if there’s a solution that’s already been discussed here..

 

I just wondered, is it bad to leave the voice box set "on" as you have to go through 4 modes before Peter Cullen's voice ? Thx

 

Yes

 

I suspect it leaves you more open to battery leakage, but I could be wrong. I agree it'd be better with a memory. It kinda spoils the effect when you have to count the transformation sounds before showing it off. Especially if you mis-count and thrust a Japanese speaking robot at someone! Takes the shine off a wee bit  

 

Are the gas tanks in a straight line with the side panels removed from the cab?
If the gas tanks are floating or are not aligned in a straight line, some repair is required.
And the fixing force of the blue bit is very weak, so it needs to be repair here as well... 

 

Haha - thanks, brother! Means a lot because that's what I was going for. These figures are imbued with so much personality so it's great to hear that that comes across!

Thanks, man! Yeah, Prime's stand has extra flashing on the lock piece and in the gear that it's supposed to slide into. There's a fix for it in the MP-44 fix thread. I actually haven't done it yet, but others have said it's quick and easy, taking around 10 min and just requiring a file or sharp knife or razor. If you look closely at my photo, Prime's foot is resting on the armature to help hold him in place  

 

Just a few pics of the Prime vs Megatron Centerpiece Display that was added to the collection. Hope it gives you an idea or two for some of you running out of room on your shelves. God bless you my friends!
