    I hate to do this again, but I picked up Arcee, got around to playing with her, and...

    how do you get this part to fit into place flush? I push down on the wheel part and it WON'T go in. anyone else have this issue?

    edit: I think this peg is too high up? I included another image, and it looks like the peg on the left or the hole is molded wrong

    I know the face itself is super easy to remove on Siege Megs, since it's only held together by friction. You just pop your nail, a guitar pick or a flat, hard item of your liking in the seam between the front and hind halves of Megatron's head, and you can go Full Baytimus Prime on him. I'd imagine it's similarly simple on Earthrise Megs, tough @Dachande knows that better. I the front of Siege Megatron's torso is one solid piece, so you have to be okay with swapping the abdomen and the chest together unless you go for some more drastical modding measures.

    You don't have to split the head in two to remove it. All you need to do is move the head against an angle it isn't meant to move and it pops off the ball joint.

    Oh, really? Wow. Honestly, the head on my Siege comes apart so easily it never even occurred to me to pop it off the ball joint in its neck. Not that it comes off unless you go out of your way to remove it, but you don't need any tools for it either. Still, it does allow for some amusing picture, like Megatron deciding the last time he had emulated the Joker went so well it's time he did the same with the edgy New 52 version:

    It's a QC issue. I have the same issue as yours. I haven't fixed it yet, but you'd have to somehow disconnect it and trim the portion where it connects too. Either there's too much glue or the part is too thick.

    A lil late night posing with a few of these guys, as someone whos only been a masterpiece guy with the only exceptions being the titans and the odd combiner (UW versons) Ever since WFCT/siege was revealed, I just looked at everything wfc trilogy has and think these were the figures I always wanted, So much so that I've bought everything from both siege and earthrise plus all the exclusives and selects.

    The fact that I'm a handful away from the og car bots being done is a dream come true. Truth be told I want all the mini bots redone like CJ to go with the team. I'll be pretty sad when this line ends I think wardens structured approach with having a story go with the line has been fantastic, plus him being a fan has only helped.

    Good to know, I'll return it for a refund. It's a shame I have to do this for two figures in two days, but what can you do, eh?

    FYI, the Quintesson pack was not designed for shipping. It was designed to be hand carried and given out in conventions. If it gets a bit scuffed don't lose your marbles

    I love his bot mode, As far the the alt goes, I think with the toyhax labels it'll look pretty nice. I've not looked at him in alt mode in hand tbh, he's been in bot mode since I got him.

    I received my centurion drone & accessory sets today and while overall I’m very happy with it I’d love to know who on the design team thought a jumbo sized OP blaster was a good idea....it’s way too big. Knowing Hasbro there will be a smaller 2.0 version in the next set (should there be one).

    I got my Centurion, today, too. Optimus Prime is finally complete! Who else's primary motivation to buy the set was to get Roller? All the other stuff just makes the purchase worth the price. Though, I kinda understand why they didn't (how molds work, limiting plastic colors), but it's weird they didn't cast the stuff they painted in the proper colors & painted the other guns, instead. Namely Shockwave. So much paint was used on Roller, Prime's Ion Blaster & Ravage's cage, it's ridiculous.

    Weird we got an accessory for yet-to-be released Trailbreaker. Considering painting the dish silver. I immediately painted the drill tip.

    I was expecting Centurion himself to be a dull grey. Am delighted he's silver.

    Mostly those pix are reminding me how awesome that Generations Junkion mold was (as long as you didn't break it)
