    Smokescreen and Arcee arrived today. Have to do this quick because busy, so here's a quick and dirty picture of Smokescreen with the Matrix Workshop M18 cannon and gun upgrade. Looks MUCH better than the ones included. They're meant for the Siege mold, so I had to shave down the tabs at the bottom a bit. But I think CHUG Smokescreen is done forever. I plan to use the included shoulder guns for Bluestreak and none for Prowl, in order to differentiate the three.

    Oh and to answer a question some may have: Earthrise Arcee does replace your Generations / Legends Arcee. The different proportions and matte paint job go with the other Siege / ER figures.

    Yup! Can probably get even closer to the the original mode with 2 but yes this is only using 1 and no other modulator parts

    Tightening the elbows aside, Doubledealer's arms are really good. Glad I got him after Snapdragon.

    So I got Scorponok the other day and there was this piece rattling around loose in the box. Has anyone else had this? Also where is it supposed to go?

    Really weird QC issue with my third Alicon. It's missing the two screws that hold the bottom of the torso together!

    Here's what it should look like:

    Not a killer, as it stays together fine, but I'll need to find two screws from my giant bin of parts to use.

    A warning to all: Smokescreen’s blaster is pretty fragile. My son broke off the tip, which he hasn’t happened to any of the other WFC toys he’s played with.

    It’s an easy glue fix but be prepared.
