    Mine has all of the above problems, plus while trying to do the impossible last-half-centimeter compression of his legs for bird mode, his double-jointed knees popped out and now it looks like I have to significantly disassemble the toy in order to get them back in. I HATE designs like this, I've been wanting a new Doubledealer toy for like 20 years and ordered this one in February, and it's a sloppy unstable disappointment.

    Are there quick-and-easy guides for reinstalling his knees? I'm allowing him to take half an hour, if it goes longer I'm just returning it.

    Found Slitherfang while running an errand and found that I love posing him with Shockwave.

    I keep being surprised by how much I like battle masters. They're simplistic, but they make setting up the displays and photography a lot more fun.

    So without SDCC this year I have been relatively unclear what Hasbro is doing with what are usually one or two Transformers exclusives.

    I figured the Quintesson Court set is but is this going up for pre-order via the Comic-con@home group or no?

    On a related note what about the Centurion Drone? He's listed as a convention exclusive now on the Hasbropulse page but sold out. Trying to figure out what the deal was there - also if there's any place I can still order him since I missed him for Tigetrack and Rotostorm (whom I both wanted more but had limited funds at the time).

    Finally, the Wal-mart exclusives I passed on that I thought were for the Netflix series (since they were repaints I thought of just WFC figures) but now I'm findout out some of these are new molds? And since Walmart is a mess I figured the odds were bad (which apparently was true). Can someone help clarify what the deal with the Wal-mart line is and if there will be an alternative way to obtain them later?

    Thanks, I'm trying to keep a relatively complete WFC set and the latest release methods have just been confusing me.

    Ive been stress out and unhappy with work. Went on big spending spree and bought or pre-ordered every single Siege and Earthrise transformers I wanted 19 Generations toys and 12 Studio Series. Spent $820 plus tax.

    I also for first time in 5 years rearranged my transformers collection. I don't play with them or even transform them but looking at them makes me happy.

    If you're talking about the black mushroom peg part of the leg, you should just be able to slide it back together. That also happened to me this afternoon and I thought it'd be a pain because of the little wedge on top, but it slid back in like any other one, just have the wedge facing outward.

    This Doubledealer! got to be my favorite of the Siege/ER line!
    BUT! missing both it’s powermasters. I would LOOOVE if Perfect Effect made its powermasters like the wonderful job they did with Ginrai for Lg Super Ginrai/PMOP
    I am aware of the recent cassette retools but those are Soundwave cassettes & NOT powermasters!
    Gosh these 2 look amazing together! God On!

    Quintesson 5 pack goes up for order in September when sdcc exclusives would have gone up for non attendees

    centurion is listed as a hasbro pulse exclusive, not a convention exclusive and it is still available for preorder, I’m looking at the page right now

    Netflix wave 2 consists of wheeljack, impactor, red alert, elita-1 (remold of arcee), bumblebee (remold of cliffjumper), soundwave (earth retool of siege soundwave), ER Optimus Prime (without trailer) and another spoiler pack. These are Walmart exclusive and currently sold out. They were up for preorder 4 days ago

    My GOD Scorponok is incredible. I actually haven't loved past Titan figures, but he is fantastic.

    I always ask to look forward to something for my Birthday. Something like a Musical, Convention or Vacation. My family just gave me a print out from Amazon with the Ramjet and Dirge 2 pack and Ironhide and Prowl 2 pack and they said look forward to that.

    Thanks for the tip and for sparing me from having to unscrew his leg halves. As is, reassembly was a severe pain in the ass because of the 3 planes of movement per joint as you try to moosh them back together.

    I'm afraid Doubledealer is the Apeface of this line - neat to get an update after all these years, looks great in some poses, but that transformation should have gotten somebody reassigned to board games.

    Why *does* he have that impossible leg compression for bird mode? You don't even have to do it for the truck mode....

    I guess I'm just waiting until I 'learn' him like I did with Apeface. Fiddly, sure. Poor designed, yeah. But once I got the hang of him, Apeface is so fun he's still one of the guys on my desk when all my other seige stuff is in the bin. I don't think Double will QUITE hit that, but I'm just really happy to get a character that isn't just another version of a character we've seen in Prime Wars/generations.
