Follow up!

It worked!

The landing gear now stays up properly,

The wings "snapped" in much better, are now staying on quite well, and I did go "what the hell" and floor polished the bend of the wing that is everyone's issue with being very loose/soft and doesn't hold the weight well... and that worked too.. so my wings can hold up quite well now!



GLORIOUS!

 

You have to push the back part until it "snaps" in... it's a little tricky... and if you get it right, they the front clicks in and it becomes quite solid.

Just look at the back connector, you have to get the shuttle part to go into the hole on the base part.. once you see it, you'll understand the issue.

I just got mine last night, and it's not that easy to get.

Edit: added pictures:

The tab here:




Into this gap:

 

Oh no, I didn’t explain myself correctly. That part I got right, The shuttle will sit on top of the base and it looks and holds fine.

I’m referring to the launch base mode. I can set the shuttle on top of it (ready for blast off!!!) but it doesn’t peg in. I will post a pic in a few.

 

oh.. ok..

for that.. I just think that it just sits there.. it doesn't look like it can snap, tried a few ways, and it stresses the part on the base (as it's on a hinge anyways).

 

Astrotrain:

 

Check the first pic, this is where I am having issues. The second pic is just showing that I can get him to stay locked in place.

 

Behold! SCORPONOK!

 

Re-checked mine.. it doesn't snap in place, the pegs just holds the "rockets thrusters" in place as far as I'm concerned.

It's not the same as Astrotrain.

 

More Doubledealer kwality kontrol - MELTED PLASTIC on his missile nosecone, wtf. I will try to unscrew and reattach so this will at least be on the underside of the missile and not prominently visible. If that is not possible I will have to go for an exchange.

 

Some extra battle damage? Cool!

 

Step on me senpai!

 

Alt mode looks like total garbage , but the bot mode looks amazing!! I can't wait to get her.. Kinda wish they would have added a little bit of paint to here head and face bits as well.

 

Good to see Astrotrain get some love...
Have they ever announced a new ER Blitzwing?

 

Not yet, But I am wishing hard core for a release of Blitzwing and Octane!!

 

Mold mates.

 

Hey Thy,

How are the arm joints on your figure? Does your figure struggle to hold the large rocket in hand with the arms out straight and the weight/gravity takes over pulling the arm downwards?

 

Titans Return...indeed.

Scorponok x Omega Supreme

Unlike Omega Supreme for which I did several mods, there's only one I want to do for Scorponok and going to see if feasible.

Edit:
Removing the visor for the alternate eyes is straightforward. Remove the purple panel from the forehead panel first. Then you can flip the forehead panel back enough to get at the visor screw. Just use a standard #0 Phillips screwdriver. Actually, this screw may not be needed afterward. The visor here is able to stay on OK without the screw.
