    They seem to be fine, not loose

    I feel that G2 Megatron and SF Dictator did the TR Blitzwing mold better than TR Megatron and either version of TR Blitzwing.

    The visor is not flat, so a flip panel would not work well at all. It's c-shaped with near 90 degrees turns on either side.

    why on earth wasn't the visor translucent so you could see the eyes underneath in the first place?

    Who knows. At least the option is there to switch, albeit somewhat annoying when switching.

    DNA Design did do that with their replacement Devastator head...and the results were not that good. The visor couldn't even stay flush when down and was actually cast in the WRONG color (orange instead of red). I made my own red clear lens to fix that.

    Looks like people are asking if you could cast it in translucent red.

    Yeah, that was the only mod I was thinking about for Scorponok. I have a silicone mold curing at the moment. I won't finish until late tomorrow at the earliest. I'd be lucky to get a casting started before going to bed.

    The red visor is actually the same as the beige plastic from Zarak's body painted completely over. I can see the beige from the screw hole.

    Edit:
    Got Rung and Slitherfang in the mail. ER Rung has a running change. The arms and waist are now a different orange plastic. Just a teeny bit darker than the other orange parts. The arms now plug in flush in alt mode.

    You have to connect the backside fist. Hold the shuttle up just about a 45 degree angle and push down on the back while moving the shuttlee forward. You will feel a click then you can clip the shuttle at the front

    A few random desk figures.
    I added a dab of paint to Exhaust's legs, chest and visor.
    Also an Autobot symbol.
    Actually, I made up a whole new back story for him. He's Wheeljack's assistant "Gunjack".

    Basically, if this we're The Muppets, and Wheeljack was Bunson Honeydew,
    Gunjack (Exhaust) would be Beaker :D
