    It certainly is. I'm anticipating Incursus and Roadking's re-release!

    @Roadbuster25 Wiggling helped me too, but it needs patience. I have found that applying a circular force to increase the camber angle of the wheels helps. That is, exerting a force that laterally pushes the wheels outwards at the top and inwards at the bottom when viewed in vehicle mode.

    Ebay:

    So I came across some Legos parts that resembled the intakes/vents mounted on Vortex’s shoulders. I figured I try and see if a could replicate the look of the cartoon.

    Modifying some Legos and turned it onto intake/vent and a 3D print allowed for an attachment that plugs to a screw slot on the back of the shoulder. Of course it won’t transform.........more for cartoon look!

    And updated the removable insert to replace the funny looking toe of his foot. Also 3D printed and painted. Due to the lack of clearance when transformed, this foot insert can’t transform either....but i can always remove it.

    As mentioned in an earlier post (ages ago), I also painted the visor a bright red and made a plug that allowed the use of a Gundam stand for air poses :) 

    Overall very happy with the results.

    Certainly a well executed idea. I’d never go through with it but it looks nice.

    Unfortunately it doesn’t transform.... more for looks :) . But I made them to be removable parts if I need too. But I don’t really transform them, I keep in robot mode and onto my shelf...so not an issue for me.

    But it would’ve been nice if I could find a way without permanently modifying the figure itself. Good for now :) 

    thanks to everyone for all your comments!

    Just got my invoice from Kapow. Said Onslaught should be in somewhere between the 23rd and 26th this month. Pretty stoked even if he looks like he'll be the weakest member of the team!
