    Just got(and modified) the motormaster torso upgrade kit. It's cool, and the sword extender is where it's at. But then, I loved him ever since getting nonnef hip and shoulder upgrades. Those by far make the biggest positive impact on the combined mode. IMG_20200530_204042.jpg IMG_20200530_203900.jpg

    My sciatica has been so bad the last few days that I was thinking about going to the doctor today. I will call them tomorrow and I already have an appointment this week. Sitting hurts, walking hurts, and laying down hurts. My TFs help distract me from the pain. :eek: :oops: :(

    Good luck man.

    I keep some near my desk at school for when I’m stressed out. And I have a few at home I transform reflexively for the same reason.

    Finally upgraded my Menasor with a combo of the Perfect Effect kit (with removed shoulder pylons) and the Shapeways shoulder braces. Now that he looks the way I wanted, he's a bit top heavy and the Starcsream feet from PotP kind of slide. Aside from those flaws, I really dig his look, especially his head, which is closer to the animation model from Sunbow cartoon. 20200601_152959.jpg 20200601_153014.jpg 20200601_153107.jpg 20200601_153117.jpg

    The CWKO’s from sirtoys for the most part our one to one copies, so you should be able to swap parts with your official figure. That’s what I did when my official onslaught had a part break

    At first, I wasn't going to do the thigh swivel and use the new pelvis brace. I didn't like that it would be a permanent fixture on Motormaster, unless you were OK with pulling it off and all the time when he was in robot mode. I really wanted the Perfect Effect kit for the face and sword extender. But once I found out you can remove his shoulder vents, I took to it. It's nice, but it seems like you need some pretty hefty feet using it. The brace adds more weight to his torso, and it can cause the legs to slide apart with the PotP feet I am using. I can't find the PE feet/hands set anywhere online, so this is what I have so far!

    That being said, I love how he looks now. I don't regret anything, and I usually don't mod my Transformers very much.

    Hmmm, parts-swapping with the KO - that's something I never considered!

    This method can't be replicated for the POTP Dinobots right?
    If memory serves weren't all the Black Mambas OS?

    Black Mamba was OS but I'm pretty sure there's a 1:1 KO also. One version came in power ranger colors but there's a G1 colored version also.

    I just purchased this set for $76. I still think The comber wars Ultra Magnus is better than Siege. Now I just need to track down the perfect effect core Ultra Magnus for a decent price
