    Yeah, but when transforming to either alt mode, you need to flip back to Autobot for the shoulder parts to sit flush.

    I'm super happy i got an order in for this figure before the pre-order sold out on Amazon. I have the G1 figure as well so having a update is going to be really cool next to my G1 version.

    Probably due to having to hold a cassette on his chest.

    I saw that the head is screwed together. Is it possible to take it apart and easily paint the eyes?

    Standard ball joint. There's no feasible way to mod that. You would need an entirely new panel for that.

    So glad I got Knok and Skar for this guy. He has an impressive amount of gimmicks features. However, when one is in his chest, where is the other one supposed to go?

    Full review coming soon.

    I think the lil dudes are not supposed to know about each other, so I guess only holding one at a time makes sense. Does the little engine block piece on his stomach come off and attach to the 5mm pegs on the powermasters?

    Ordered Doubledealer from Entertainment Earth but I'm a bit worried that I ordered him too late and wont actually get him. I see he's also listed on Hasbro Pulse for august. Would I have a better shot ordering from there?

    Surely he also needs 1984 Soundwave?

    You'd have thought the lure of a missile launcher Soundwave that can also hold tapes in his chest would be too great for Hasbro but I suspect the forthcoming as yet unannounced siege retool has put the kibosh on that.

    Well, if it's like the G1 toy...peg onto the butt?

    I used to peg Skarr onto the back of the gun like it was powering it.

    Where is the engine part in the middle of the Powermaster coming from? That's not part of the cassette is it?

    It's on his abs, you can remove it and stick it on the powermaster's peg. Pretty clever little easter egg.

    Saw him at 2 Targets today which is suprising since we’re usually last.
    Was afraid they would’nt sell him
    (because Target) but had no probs.

    Might be a good day to look for him, brickseek said Out of stock for both stores so brickseek is definitely unreliable.

    Did you use the leader case dpci or the DD dpci?

    Now that Leadergate is over, your best bet is to find a Target with DD in stock.

    His poop chute is a screw hole that is too small for 5mm pegs. You can attach the bots as 'shields' or 'shoes'. Skar can be turned into a claw weapon fan mode.

    There is a way to store one of the bots on the back if you do a fan mode backpack configuration.

    Copied from another thread:
    This backpack configuration allows the pine panel to fold down and keeps the backpack kibble compact. Also works fine with both wing tips folded up.

    Instead of plugging in the tail panel from under the pine panel, plug it in on top. This will not be flush. However, when plugged in at this angle, the tail panel can make a fairly stable connection.

    This also allows cassette storage on his back. Knok tends to work better here since his head can be rotated in 'shield' mode.

    I'm pretty sure Target is selling them now, if only based on the fact that my Target pre-order is preparing to ship early.

    Yes but the tricky matter is finding with that actually has it. Henrico/Midlothian tend to be slow on the draw for new stuff.

    I wasn't paying any attention when Knock and Skar were released; I'm guessing I missed the boat?

    Are the hips supposed to be a soft ratchet? I just got mine today and the hips are looser than I'd expect. I took apart the waist and I think it may be missing a piece. Should there be two black pieces for the ratchets to work or just one?
