I know it’s a stretch but no replies yet - if anyone doesn’t want their clear stand piece for the NA seeker I’ll gladly buy it off you.

 

$99.54 shipped from Terry TF club

 

Show me a Bitstream, Novastorm and Ionstorm and I’m in.

 

The Megatron on the Lincoln Throne appears to be different from the Metallic toy version (different torso). Is there more info on this one?

 

It's the gold-eyed, chest-haired G1 toy version, no?

 

These little sons-a-bitches are pulling me right back into Transformer collecting, just when I thought I was out!

 

Doubling up on Seekers and Coneheads is probably enough for me. Rainmakers would be overkill... or maybe "more overkill" is a better description.
TCracker and the Coneheads are in my TaoBao warehouse stash along with my second, alt mode copies of the Insecticons. They'll ship in a few days when XTB Motormaster is ready, along with several FT bots. It's going to be a pretty massive delivery!! A belated Christmas present from myself to myself.

And Brawn and Outback look like they aren't far away. NewAge's release schedule is astounding!!

 

My set of Coneheads arrived today. Gotta love the extras included with these guys! I now have a decent semi circle space bridge to display. Great to have some Autobot blast effects.

And of course, each one of these three are just full of super robotic life and attitude. A different facial expression and face coloring on all three. The new flip out heel piece dramatically improves stability in robot mode.

 

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!
​

 

Its like X-Mas over here...

 

Don't have mine in hand yet to look closely, but is the heel something that could be added to the Seekers as an extra part, replaced like Aggy hip's, or jerry-rigged in some way or is it more inherent to the Conehead transformation?
The difficult stability on the Seekers is probably my only real gripe with them.

 

What are the two pegs above their rear thrusters for?

 

My guess is they're for the new flip-out heel pieces to plug on to

Check out the last pic on this post NEWAGE TOYS H-13 Lucifer - Legends scale STARSCREAM (and Seekers?)

 

I haven't gotten that far unfortunately to check anything out. I got MT Endgame I just opened, XTB's toy Deadend, NA carbots, and I though another figure or two in the last 3 days. As IronMagnus pointed out, I would guess those pegs are the new heel pieces. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I will check it all out tomorrow night and follow up.

 

Yes, @IronMagnus is correct, it's covered in the video Cheem posted a few pages back.

The panels in front of the pegs hinge open, and there are arms that fold out and peg onto those pegs, acting as heel spurs, behind the thrusters:

 

I wish the Seekers would have those rear pegs. It s a bitch getting them to stand properly without tipping backwards or accidentally "crotch-crunching" them forwards.

 

It’s all in adjusting the toes. They are meant to have a toe tilt forward. But I see in videos of stuff the people are tilting the toes too far and putting the weight on the back.

 

Ooh... will give that a try. Thanks!

 

yeah, exactly. I have no issues getting them to stand properly on their own. Give them a knock and they'll fall of course. But they're very stable, on a flat surface. Much more so than the dx9 owing to the increased range of the tilt, and the weight of the die-cast in the heels.

 

Should the Coneheads box come with an instruction booklet?
