    I'm think it's more of a protocol because of what's happen with the world. You know, other people touch it.

    Haven't ordered from BBTS for a while. Every time I do, I have to pay import.

    SS Brawl. First pics weren't the best and he had a turret tail. But in hand he's a great toy, I love the transformation.
    Roadbuster. Big-ass backpack, tabbing issues! After Shaving a few tabs though I started to like him a lot more.


    It really feels like the end of a journey huh? I looked at my shelf a while back and realized we are so close to being done.Not to mention with the pandemic it's unsure when the next films will be.
    And I'm like, wow, I'm gonna be spending less on TF soon. I'm gonna miss trying to buy whole waves of figs haha

    Have you ever heard the story of the headless Prime who lived to haunt the living for a million generations?

    PicsArt_10-28-02.07.41.jpg

    Before the legendary Blackout ripped off his head,
    Optimus Prime's last words were "Give me your face...", but even after that defeat the headless body lived on in search of his old head. To this day, it continues on that search.

    Every moment an unsuspecting Decepticon hears those ghastly words, "Give me your face...", the shriek of ripping metal and sparking of exposed wires and chords dripping with Energon are the final sounds one might hear before the dead husk of the decapitated body hits the floor. The Prime wears the victim's head until he finds another, and another, and another until his original head is restored. It can never be.

    PicsArt_10-28-02.53.02.jpg

    Even our old sentry, the mighty Shockwave fell to this... Terrorbot. The thirty-thirst of the month is upon us. Be on your guard.

    Didn't think to take a before pic because I didn't realize it was going to work. I'll try to draw what I mean below. This tab that's circled, but the extra material was on the other side on mine, I just couldn't get a clear pic of the correct side lol
    1603924181845.png

    So I cropped it way close (sorry for the blurriness, it's a really small tab lol) and mirrored it below to draw in where the excess plastic kinda was
    1603924313051.png

    It wasn't even as bad as where the red is on my edit, it was just the tiniest bit of extra material, and it was only a very small amount after I cut it out, but it makes all the difference. So when the hook is cleared, you should be able to look at it from a straight side view and see a sharp and clear hook shape all the way across the tab with nothing in the way. Just be careful to not shave more off of that tiny hook than what is just excess material that shouldn't be there. Then when you transform to bot mode, just make sure the tab goes into the gap, then give the crotch a good firm press backwards to try and make sure the hook is hooked

    Dude!!! this is spooky.. How do you know I am working on Mista's Soundwave's wheels? lol
    I am replacing them with the ones from the HA Soundwave, I considered having a friend of mine recast them (and the brakes) in resin but it seems no one was interested..

    It is fairly straightforward trough, Mista has them screwed in place and that would work for the HA wheels as well..
    Sorry for the bad lighting, it is nighttime and I don't want to wake up the boyfriend ;-) DB9A6B09-870D-4A8B-ABD8-818D3A8DE542.jpeg 93A9DD0E-6665-469C-A9D1-E801FD75C3E6.jpeg

    That's really lame that that happened to your copy. Has anyone else experienced this? I think this is the only case I've heard of.

    Making the best of a bad situation, if you can find a hammer for it you've got a decent Bee from the Nemesis Prime fight.
