    Makes me wonder if I’d kept mine, how much it would’ve been worth, first batch preorder with staffs and Peru kill Knife. Lol

    I still want them to do a retool of this guy. If they can do for the rest of the body what they did for the head....

    Yeah, and the thing is, based on that custom a few pages back, improving some of the sculpting doesn't look like it would require any reengineering of the transformation. UT don't happen to have a representative on this site like FT or XTB do they? Or any other social media where people can get their feedback across?

    Would be great if we could get the message across to a) reissue the figure as it's still in demand and b) do some sculpt and paint upgrades

    My thoughts exactly. The new head looks amazing, but from time to time it seems out of place to me.. like the head is a solid 10 when the body ys like a 7.5

    I'm not sure. Some of these companies seem to have a social media presence (usually something China-based) but I don't hear much about UT themselves posting things. Does anyone know this?
    Totally. And as @Chris C137 said it would be totally doable without changing the engineering at all.

    Hey guys I got me a challenger but the right shoulder screw is too tight and got wrecked while trying multiple screwdrivers.

    Any known way to remove it when this kind of thing happens, or is there some kind of replacement? Bought it off ebay though, and it's the purple version.

    edit: Saw someone had the same problem on previous pages. Is there any way to get a replacement shoulder?

    Also, out of the box a pin fell from the figure but I can't figure out where it's supposed to go.

    Too sexy. I keep challenger on my “Prime shelf” but it’s troublesome because I’m never content to leave him on the shelf for more than a couple weeks before the temptation to play with him gets too high :D

    Hahaha same. I dont have a prime shelf but he definitely goes at the back due to his size, so getting him out is a bit of a trouble. Same with dragoon over the decepticon side.

    I shudder to think on how TW will turn out..

    My experience with them on their first Bayformers release is less than stellar.

    I never noticed until now how the teal version's headlights are clear instead of being red. I wish they made them red like his brother's.

    The rotating smokestacks. It was a problem with the first release.

    Still one of the best transforming figures ever.

    Unique indeed.
