    Is this where the line starts for people who give two sh!ts for BSF opinion. Allow me to be first in line:D 

    I don't even dislike the guy, but for some unknown reason his opinion carries a lot more weight than other people. And I'm sorry, I just don't take people seriously who do things half-assed and half-prepared, thats a "real-world" thing for me.

    I can't argue when your standard is you know what you haven't seen.


    This conversation could have ended if you asked me the info politely in the 1st place which I could've present to you before I head to work.
    Instead you chose to spend the last hour to show you're a close minded person in public. Very sad.

    You're the legitimate insider. I'm just a ordinary fan who read too much. ;) 

    For the record, I know the one you have and other copies leak around the same time with missing accessories are actual leaks. Those ones are no longer in the market.

    Wouldn't be out of the ordinary to post info about the existence of a KO and how to tell it apart in an official thread. It's just a service for people wanting to avoid KOs. Or post it in the KO thread? Or don't bother - up to you what you do with your info, bro. Was just a suggestion. If there's a KO we'll hear about it here sooner or later anyway.

    Where's your proof that I have "nothing but memes and hearsay to back up my incessant claims?" Did you think twice before what you say? You have standard for other but not yourself.

    Hypocrisy much?

    Opened my Transformers gifts to myself and Bumblebee had to welcome his predecessor to his new alt mode home :)

    Still haven’t picked up Prime 3.0 do to his price point, but I feel like Bumblebee is the gateway drug :lol

    Your sarcastic admission of defeat is noted.

    No, it’s not a “He tell me” story. That situation with Ghost of Optimus Prime was very different from how @oku is handling this.

    You’ve both made your points, can you two please either take this conversation to PMs or just respectfully agree to let it go?

    Finally got the MP-45 Bumblebee done. Getting the LED wiring from his feet to his torso was extremely tricky. Got 2x SMD eyes, 1x SMD blast effect and 2x 5mm headlights. Chest was painted blue from the inside-- looks so much better in my opinion. Also added a pair of Hobby Base 1/144 Rounded Hands PPC-T95 (Grey). Added a pin to the gun so it will stay locked onto the hands. I'm pretty happy with how this guy turned out; stay tuned for more fun stuff. God bless you everyone!

    Did anyone ever find a decent brush paint that matches the yellow?

    No turning back now. Operation Magnet Boots is under way!

    FBA792F9-A96D-4F36-88BA-9381D272CE7A.jpeg


    Update: Operation complete! No-hat Spike now has magnetic feet!

    Installation went pretty well, though I did smoosh his boots a bit from having them in my tiny vice grip (actually a photo clamp). The magnets are pretty flush with the boot soles, though they do protrude very slightly (by a small fraction of a millimeter).

    It took a very steady hand with a rotary tool and a 1/32” drill bit to drill holes large enough and deep enough for the 1/16” magnets. The lower legs are made from clear plastic, which made me a bit nervous and also made it difficult to distinguish the hole’s diameter from paintless plastic around the edge. If I were to do it again, I’d get magnifying glasses to help me see better at this scale.

    DE1535A2-937F-4CC6-A634-B55DE65D62FD.jpeg

    Once I had the hole drilled out to the right diameter and depth, I inserted the magnet and tapped it into place with a hammer and an allen wrench. I ended up chipping the plating on the magnets a little, but there’s nothing I can do about that now — they’re lodged tightly into the boots!

    BA44BE38-399B-465E-BD76-46A9E1A5C693.jpeg

    “Nice boots, bro!”
    “Thanks! I saw yours and just had to have a pair of my own.”

    CB34F632-6E1F-44EC-987C-EC60D83F3A36.jpeg


    This is not a procedure for the faint of heart or those with unsteady hands. For those who want to carry it out themselves, here’s the magnets you’ll need (and the drill bit photobombed the shot):

    When I mentioned recently that I was going to do this upgrade, @fschuler made this request…
    … so here you go, my friend! :)

    After hanging mp44 Prime and mp Hound, why didn't TT give BB a side to side neck joint, think he would be the whimsical one that would have bendefited from it.
