    Colour coded is correct. Black, white and gray are not considered colours.

    Bottom is red dominant, middle red and blue dominant and top is everything else. I consider prowl to be yellow on the basis there is more yellow than any other colour. Exhaust is orange. Rumble should probably be top shelf though. There is room for the subjective when it comes to colour coding.

    Thank you! And super close, I stuck a small plastic adapter under his chassis in the gap between his faux grill and the hubcap. The trailer was shakily balanced on the plastic empty energon cube that comes with YOTG Soundwave.

    Also, I will not lie that I have absolutely no idea how your characters are sorted. Most I can see is color? Maybe? But then some figures are grouped by mold..... hmmmmm.

    Finally one of my wish came true... however I think, you do need to have an action base for Arcee since she is very difficult to balance, thanks to her small feet and backpack..

    You mistransformed the backpack though. Have a look at my photos below how everything should be compressed and tabbed together.

    Got my Grapple in today. He suffers from some very loose pieces. The straight toon face is very loose, the black nozzle hand (which was loose on my first copy too) and the hook on the crane slides right off. Even with these problems, I still love him. He and Inferno remain one of my favorite transformations

    Both inferno and grapple are great figures. I for one like the big blocky solid colors. My grapple has similar issues, but I thinks he's my favorite of the two

    I like Grapple a little more than Inferno because he’s got some black to break up the orange. He’s a bit better looking for me in that regard, but I like Inferno’s transformation just a bit more. Such great figures though. The crane and the ladder never gets old

    thanks, No wonder it look kinda weird... anyway her backpack is really difficult to transform... I still cant get the lower part of the backpack to tab in properly...

    I really amaze at how flexible Arcee is
