    Gotta love Takara's sense of humor.

    Took him out of his packaging and saw that this guy has 2 fingers pointing at me from his a**.

    Duly noted Takara, duly noted.

    The arm position is critical. There are grooves in the gun that line up with the shape of the elbows.

    THe fact that the arms don't peg anywhere or anything is the strangest thing to me. EVERYTHING pegs somewhere. The robot thights peg in like, 3 different ways in beast mode, but the arms don't peg at all, and their positioning is way more cirtical than the legs. It's really weird.

    Has anyone else ordered from AmiAmi? They marked mine as shipped on Friday, but there's been no movement on it.

    That helped a little, at least to peg in the front chest. I also discovered one of the pegs that go into the robot thigh in beast mode was warped but after i shaved it a bit with an xacto knife, it went in all the way getting me a little further. Now im just dealing g with this gap 20200928_173609.jpg I wonder if im not pegging the top back portion all the way in somewhere?

    So I just finished my blind transformation into beast mode. Had to really play around with the arm position, and then @Actar's photo did help out a bit. I managed to get all the panels lined up, and then gave them all a squeeze and they aligned pretty nicey. He holds together pretty well now.

    If he just had something to peg his arms into place, it would make that process a whole lot easier. But that was only my first try, I'm sure it'll improve in the next couple transformations.

    I agree. Seems like the only reference point we get to where the arms should go are those tiny grooves Actar mentioned. Which is silly considering the arm placement dictates the integrity of the entire tiger belly. A snap in point to make sure the arms could be in an EXACT position would have been ideal. -1 point for an otherwise glorious figure

    Received mine today, transformed him once. So far my only complaint is that he's very top heavy in robot mode, and the knees tend to buckle easily. Seems like one of those figures you have to pose slightly leaning forward for him not to fall over.

    There are also these grooves/indentations to help line up the shoulders.

    Holy smokes the legs on this guy seem needlessly complicated. Love him but damn - I think those legs could have been a lot less convoluted considering the waist up this guy is really straight forward.

    Let’s be honest. Beast Wars Masterpieces are the best Masterpieces.

    I’ve been disappointed with these MP’s since Megatron. I am always really careful with them, but they just feel so cheap and brittle in the hand, and definitely not worth what you’re paying for them.

    Gun won’t stay seated in his hand at all.

    Missiles broke.

    This is my first transformer breakage, ever.
