    Nice! Is that MP36 the real deal or a KO? He seems... more shiny.

    FedEx has been kicking some serious ass lately.

    I know that nowadays combined mode is the main subject of discussion, but Lord those alt modes.
    For the Stunticons they are my primary mode and XTB really nailed them. Sorry but DX9 and FT are not even close in alt mode (I just noticed how messy FT Dragstrip's alt mode is).

    Especially XTB Motormaster, Dragstrip and Wildrider are almost static model cars level.

    It’s the real deal. I also have the IT version which I actually prefer after I replaced his faces.

    As much as my QC has been a nightmare and I still need a few pieces to get this guy "fixed", I can't hate on his presence.

    I can't pop in Gravestone to the back yet until I get the hip part that's busted, but anyone have any advice to stabilize him with all the weight besides prayer? I feel if I fart next to this guy when he's finally all set he'd tip over.

    I find micr adjustments to the knees and many ankle joints make him really stable.

    I’m actually completely fine with Menasor being shorter than other combiners since Megatron started out with actual human cars instead of Cybertronian tech or larger vehicles like Bruticus.

    I was just looking at the MMC Defensor who will end up shorter. I’m not sure I could wait another 5 years to get a full combiner and not knowing the price until the very end.

    Woo hoo! 1:31 mins later I have a fully formed Menasor!

    I did follow the YouTube video folks have been following here though, so it was a lot easier than for some of you. I now need to look up the posts on how to fix the loose wrists as mine are pretty loose.

    Also, a word of caution not included in the video, is that if the spring is working on the connector for Dead End, it’s quite easy to chip some of the paint on his chest with it. :(

    Tighten the screw in the middle of the lower palm area to make the wrist tighter. The only flaw with this design is that when you turn the wrist counter clockwise it will actually undo the screw a little and you will be back to loose wrists. IMG_20210124_194656.jpg

    I don't know if this video of transforming him from trailer to combined mode has been posted here yet (I don't think so, but not sure), I apologize if it already has been. I stumbled upon it somehow, maybe Youtube recommending I don't remember.

    Instructions unclear, broke hand turning it repeatedly clockwise.

    Yeah, that's why official toys tend to use rivets in this type of scenario. But that requires more specialized equipment, and most 3P don't seem to bother. So that's a flaw you'll have to deal with.

    And my tracking from ShowZ now shows my trailer at the Customs office, so I should be able to join in on the transformation fun (or nightmare) within the next couple of days. Accessory set still a few days out from that.
