    How can I get Mucks faux wheels to be flush so car mode actually look good? Target needs to start shipping Runabout and Thrust! My copy of Sunstreaker will not tab in well, Runamuck is kinda like that too

    I've got some Voyager-scale ion blasters showing up any day now. Got tired of waiting for Hasbro.

    The only solution I’ve seen is chopping them off.

    They do lock into place under the car and are barely visible.

    Where is Buzzsaw already?

    I'm seriously - where?

    How do I have a Wingthing already but no Buzzsaw????

    Hasbro - come on. COME ON.

    Matrix Workshop? If so, then be prepared to file down the oversized handles. It’s not worth breaking OP’s thumb over.

    Netflix blaster on left (best version since it's molded in black plastic), POTP OP/NP blaster on right
    op3.jpg

    Centurion Pack blaster on left, G1 Reissue blaster on right (doesn't fit properly despite longer handle)
    op2.jpg

    Kingdom blaster on left (doesn't fit properly), Perfect Effect (3p) PC-16 blaster on right
    op1.jpg
    For the PC-16 blaster, prefer this version over the updated ones from the PE-DX10 and 11 remolds (don't like the new notched barrel although it adds blast effects compatibility).

    Anyone else received their figure without the back piece to complete the transformation?

    It was sealed with the plastic ties and a space for the back piece in the plastic shell just like Hub Cap.

    Oh, yes, they call him the Streak.....

    My Sunstreaker doesn't tab into car mode well either. Looks good when it's done, but a bit of a pain to get there.

    I really want a Buzzsaw figure. And yes, it's weird that we gave us Wingthing but not Buzzsaw. Hasbro loves doing recolors for easy money, so you'd think they would have made one.

    Glad I got Hubcap. Really liking his colors, and I'm glad they bothered to give him a different headsculpt than Cliffjumper.

    I can't help but thinking how odd it is that they did such a good job with the yellow on a GS figure of a lesser known character while Sunstreaker, who is a better known and a mainline figure, got the treatment he did.

    Yeah, I must admit I felt a bit old too when I was doing that one. :D

    CJ mold in general is slathered with paint, so Hubcap is going to look more uniform compared to Sunstreaker. I've seen both Hubcap and Sunstreaker in person at local stores, and yeah, Hubcap definitely does pull off the yellow much better.

    Edit:
    Continuation of Ion Blasters comparison:
    Other G1 Reissue blaster on left (does not fit properly), Studio Series 38 blaster on right

    Combiner Wars blaster on left, Cyberverse Deluxe blaster on right

    The SL pegs and ports do actually work, unlike MW. However, still replaced the white 3d printed peg with a black resin peg. Also did some light sanding work and repainted with matte black lacquer spray.

    Has anyone bought the Nonnef upgrade parts for ER Trailbreaker? I've yet to buy "filler parts" for any of my figures; but I am considering it for TB.

    Wanted to know how they are first.
