    However the real-world object is a solid dome, not hollow like that. Maybe it's designed to allow pegging in a large weapon or something in combined mode?

    Dangard Ace and I discussed sub-hunting stuff a bit, after he made the torpedos and Penguins:
    MMC OX Assaultus

    The actual square hole itself, is purely for transformation, as those panels have to fold and reposition themselves in multiple ways, for heli/bot/arm mode. The linkages to move them are complex, and need somewhere to go---and "a hole in the bottom where you usually won't see it" is a lot better than most other options.

    Is that Onslaught head molded in black, or just painted black as a test? I want that head...

    Yeah that’s what really confused me. They had a black head shown off but then afterwards they told us it can’t happen. Like did they know before?

    Looks like Swindle needed slightly bigger wheels set slightly lower so it doesn't look like a lowrider so much.

    Finally got Fraudo in hand. He's got so much personality! Haven't had the chance to transform him, but so far MMC captured the essence of him. My only gripe is the storage option for the weapon strut, putting behind the leg seems to be an afterthought. Here's my set up with the big cannon. 20191123_210643.jpg

    Oh my god finally someone has the same idea as me for the armature storage! And it looks pretty good. Actually helps change the cannon position to be more accurate as well.

    Thanks for the clarification, I couldn't remember what it was exactly but I knew it was something close to a scanner

    That would be an interesting option if at all possible

    I’m so glad people have finally thought to do it. I can’t wait to try it myself.

    Unlike with Impetus, where MMC had a clear winner over Zeta and Unique Toys, Fraudo and UT's Swindle are a lot closer. Fraudo is a little more cartoon-accurate, I think, and there are a lot of things I prefer on him like the colors, materials, and transformation, but UT's winds up looking cleaner in both modes (but especially the jeep). Push come to shove I do think I prefer Fraudo, but it's kind of a draw. That said, Fraudo is a fun figure that I like a lot, and he's worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of Alex Kubalsky's designs.

    Christ somehow Zeta's always manages to still punch me in the face with those proportions. Swindle from a universe where he hooked up to the juice something crazy. :lol

    Aaaand I might need this after all. Was going to focus on poseidon, but I guess he can wait? This guy is a beauty! There's something amazing slim like that I can appreciate in a bot, especially a combiner. It looks big, but at the same time, elegant.

    Hmmn, Brawl looks a bit brownish-yellow there.

    Honestly, the wheels look very shallow/bland/cheap---they really need some more depth in there, need to be more "3D":

    As-is, they currently look like flat plain discs, pretty much.

    Brawn looks great. Can't wait to see bot mode.

    That is the most handsome pic of the combined mode I've seen so far. Well done. It will look even better with the feet upgrades. Now to continue saving for the rest of the set. My Impetus has made its way to CA....just a little longer.
