    was just thinking the same, I did not get Rodimus yet but if that is the problem, it is an easy fix for sure.

    He stands fine with some dynamic posing, just not straight up. Sometimes it's enough just to bend his knees backwards a little *shrug* It's a 2 second fix if you have some electrical tape or maybe even gaffers tape lying around

    Are you thinking that I just put some electrical tape on the rear of the heel? Is that thick enough to make a difference?

    Can someone measure how thick the back heel is on the Dark Rodimus version? I'm thinking it's like 1/16" (0.060") or more.

    Yep, you can cut little strips and layer til he's stable. You could use bluetac too, but obviously it's blue..

    My preferred fix is to just cut out a tiny bit of foam insulation. One side is adhesive so you don't need to glue anything. The foam also acts as sort of a grip too, which is nice.

    I also used this stuff to fix that ugly gap in the MFT seeker KO. Always hated how they botched the upscale on these guys.

    I really like this idea. No changing the figure, just a simple add-on. Thanks for all the ideas! This is a great community.

    Just got mine and he's bigger than I thought.
    Quite fun though.

    The car mode is so slick. This sharkticon has no chance.

    Also a comparison with masterpiece hot rod

    In regards to standing, I currently don't rotate the back heel down. Seems to work so far.

    Ha! That's clever. I open all of my toys, but this one is really cool in the box.

    Yep but they can certainly do better, when compared to Rodimus and Astrotrain. So maybe a Kup 2.0?

    If you don't mind waiting a little, I recommend checking with HZJ401 on ebay. Always A++ service at very reasonable cost.

    HZJ401 always takes care of wrapping up the contents very well. In fact, I rarely take a look at boxed offerings anymore because I would just toss the box anyway. Why pay more for cardboard? He actually has me kind of spoiled as I get miffed when other sellers don't package loose goods as well as he does, lol. He also adds hand-written reminders to areas of the toys with known issues so you don't break it during transformation.

    If you need any special handling, write to him first and he's usually accommodating. He's one of my top 3 sellers on ebay.
