    Further revised/refined my Version 2 torso extension into a split 2-piece assembly for an easier and more secure installation.

    can anyone that has this tell me, if I bought g1 and g2, how hard it may be to swap all the purple parts from the g1 to ths g2 set? prefer the more traditional purple on the g2 set is all.

    Yesterday I tried to insert again grey thin sections that detached from both Mixer Truck .These sections that keep arms on bot, detached when I did some pressure to rotate arms in wrong way,but at least plastic is very sturdy .Yestarday I tried by using some force but shoulder purple section is too tight.
    But I 've noticed that every purple shoulder has 1 screw just below barrel,do you pnow if using just these 2,can I separate only both purple shoulders?Is my first repair attemot and I want to be sure.
    Again I'm convinced that toy can be repaired,there is some stress marks on purple for when detached but nothing appear damaged.

    I wanted to warn you that Mixmaster patient has been just saved :D  and now his arms are connected again ,I've just removed 2 screws on shoulders and then inserted at the end.Also helped that JinBao toy is very strong as plastic!
    However now I'll search how to transform well Mixer in vehicle mode,must be something that I had done in wrong way if arms snapped when I tried to put them high ,next to head so I'll search for another way to transform.

    The Jinbao upgrade kit arrived on the slow boat from Robotoybase. The extenders make him a lot more stable. The drills are cool. Swapped out the hips for Long Haul and the cab for Scrapper, not sure what those fixed, though the hips feel stronger.

    Not sure about the more G1-styled head (though that may be the lack of an angry face)

    Think I'll stick with the original

    How long did your package take to arrive? I'm waiting on one from RoboToyBase that's taken *checks notes...* 73 days so far. (Not worried yet, current personal record with all this going on is 78 days.)

    Mine arrive today from ebay, I want sure what to expect but this figure is beautiful. He looks amazing in person. There's a couple things though.

    One arm is longer than the other, bonecrushers arm is longer then the other arm. Is this a common thing?

    Does anyone know what you do with the g1 head when you have hook in vehicle mode? The sides of the black faux cab don't close properly

    Need to see pictures of the arm thing to understand what you mean? The G1 head from the upgrade kit doesn't transform for bot or alt mode it's s combination only thing.

    Sounds like you don't have the shoulder ratchets aligned equally on both sides, so one arm is appearing longer than the other.

    Thats amazing! I bought mine a month ago and still waiting for it to arrive. Will definitely be doing the weathering. Hope it looks as good as yours :)  Was thinking of using silver, brown and "dry rust" acrylics.

    I've got the boxset for this which came with a bag of parts. The LED and guns I get, but I'm not sure where all of these pieces go:

    Can anyone help? I think the missiles are Long Hauls? I haven't actually messed with the set yet so sorry if it is obvious.

    The missiles go on devastator's arms and the bumpers go on the sides of mixmaster, but I never figured out where the ladders go.
