    Nope, didn’t see the need. Never even crossed my mind. It looks fine.

    Ugh, transformed mine and apparently the head didn't sit right because one of the antennae is bent. I am hoping to fix it somewhat but I'm not sure.

    I think you can switch the antenna from one head to the other if you can't fix it.

    Can you post an image of how it bends?
    The antenna of V2 head is thin and easy to bend, so as @Adee says, if you don't mind the difference, you can replace it with the antenna of V1 head.

    Could probably also bend it back to its original position, and if there's a white stress mark, use a hair dryer on it until the white disappears.

    I already fixed it, well sort of. I pretty much pressed it with a hammer and it straightened it up for the most part. It’s still a little gnarled up but better than it was.

    I was able to! Thankfully no stress marks on it.

    Awesome. I'm always paranoid about scratching paint or bending things when I transform anything that I usually take off the faces or heads. I wonder if I'm the only one.

    I don’t do that a whole lot but I totally understand. I do stuff like that with the more expensive figures.

    Question: Anyone have Fanshobby Nemesis Prime trailer and know if it at works with TE-01B? Its a long shot I know but I want to go with a different trailer that isn't the same old OP version. I only remember Nemesis with the tanker trailer, even if he's not the long nose version he was in RID.

    I can't imagine it not working. You just plug the adapter for MP-10 into the piece that comes with TE-01

    I agree and should've ask this before but prefer to see a picture of that to be sure and to see how it looks.

    Reach out to him for help.

    Its the adapter that comes with the trailer. But yeah, it works just fine- TE-01's back end is low, but the adapter is pretty tall.
