Okay. This is interesting. Depending on the price, I might be all in.

 

Nice kit

 

that last picture is suspiciously posed

 

Priddy kewl.  Maybe the wire can be replaced with LED wiring.

 

Well it would hold up even less, it'll make it a floppy mess, no more rigid than a string.

 

Just got this in, its pretty stiff:

Just flailin' around!

 

Looks nice! How does the wire feel? I like the look of this but I'm a little concerned about the durability.

 

Very stiff- I wonder if its meant to move at all. its more like the flails on the legends Megatrons in that pic, where its just a solid piece that stays the same shape.

 

Thanks for the update and details. Hmm, I'm still undecided.

 

"The chain of the hammer is made by rigid steel wire which enables the weapon to form different shapes. However, pls dont bent it too sharply"

Thats the description from TFsafari, if it helps!

 

They have a guide image on most auction showing a gentle bend with a tick over it and a right angle bed with a X through it saying "don't do this" (or you will snap the wire and break the electrical connection).

For those who don't need the light up feature the Centurion figure accessory pack has a mace in it too.

 

The Shockwave Lab accessory doesn't light up.

The advice to not bend the wire too sharply is just to avoid breakage. If the wire snaps the chain link pieces will all slide off, like beads off a broken string.

The wire is extremely stiff but it can be bent for posing, especially if you warm it with your hand (your success my vary depending on whether you have warm hands or not.)

In that case it's over-priced if it doesn't light up.

 

Maybe so, but that didn't stop me from buying four of them, one for each of the Siege Megatron customs I'm working on.

Centurion with a pile of accessories is great value for American collectors but Hasbro Pulse won't ship to Australia, so it's a bit of a non-starter for me.
TFSafari, on the other hand, will send anything I buy with free postage, so the decision was easy.

There is likely an Asian distributer for the set you can order from too.

 

Didn\'t they make an Ax for Optimus? Is it still available?

 

It's actually a good thing if it doesn't light up. Their LED kits have been pretty awful: bare, uncovered, blinding LEDs. Let's turn Omega Surpeme's head into a Jack-o-Lantern...oi. Earlier kits didn't even have properly functioning battery housing (contacts that didn't or barely touched the battery).

Their more recent non-LED kits have been really good, this one especially.

That was Matrix Workshop for Siege OP only. Also plagued with their oversized peg problem. Need to file down the peg to fit properly, otherwise, you'll have extreme difficulty getting the handguard off the hand. If you turn the hand sideways, you could get it to work on ER OP, but not worth breaking his thumb if you don't fix the peg.

 

There is a multi-part axe for Optimus and itis made in Orange and a rare green colour (oddly not red or purple yet)

There is also a couple of Ultra Magnus Hammers and a multi-part sword/spear thingy.
