Haha, the Skullface review has arrived. Haven't watched it yet but Joe got his shoutout!

Edit: Not a problem or anything but this little sigh when breakdown's Spoiler flies off is pretty classic at 24:10

 

So without Motormaster it would be more stable? Asking cause I double dipped on the limb bots, but figured I'm not getting MM. I wanted to have him on the top of a 4x4 Kallax, so that he wont' topple over.

 

It depends honestly. I think the balance will be better without MM but I do think MM provides some stability for the torso.

 

Not only would it be more stable but a simple 3D printed filler piece could take care of balance issues and actually make the figure look better than it is now

 

Whoa BSF even gave a shout out to the other YouTuber "Transform into a Guitar" (he used it as guide).

 

I've mentioned it a few times in this thread already, but the addition of Motormaster is a double-edged sword.

On the negative side, it's Motormaster's weight that absolutely strains the limits of the outwards hip ratchets, and causes them to slide out on smooth surfaces. Nothing more extreme than a basic "A" stance will be possible without first boosting the friction of the feet (eg: stand on carpet at the most basic. Install rubber pads to the bottoms of the feet for more universal play).

On the plus side, adding Motormaster to the torso fills it in and greatly increases its rigidity. When the toy has stable footing, to counteract the above, then Motormaster's weight is actually extremely beneficial, as he helps counterbalance the moment forces of the outstretched arms and weapons, making Menasor way easier to balance.

 

Probably the ideal would be to 3d print some kind of filler that add the same rigidity to the torso and a little weight without taxing to much the hips and make it back heavy.

 

@DrCalligari Just started watching. Fuck it, i'm watching this all the way through. I'd grab some popcorn but nah, not this early in the morning, haha.

 

I still would have liked to have paid $50 less.

 

Gotta say he fits in really well!

I'm also realizing that I'm probably gonna end up selling off my headmaster stuff, and then I need to relocate all season 3 into another area..

 

Question for folks who have the trailer and accessories ...when attaching Dead End with the shells, does his spoiler need to be removed?

 

Thanks for the info - I must have missed that, but I sometimes skim this thread, as recently a lot of posts have been off-topic. I'll try experimenting with him, maybe fill him up with something that won't be heavy enough to set him off balance, but will help with his rigidity. I'll try to find some sort of golden mean  

 

I finished getting the trailer back together. I feel like that was quite the accomplishment. Now I'm about to start back the other way again. Hoping to get that waste bit sorted. I'll keep ya guys posted. Thanks for the helpful hints. I'll see what I can do. haha.

This is sort of on topic. Just because this is mostly panels. I do have a piece that busted and I'll end up getting replaced. What's the best pin popping kit to use for popping pins? Any reccomendations? I don't currently have any pin popping tools, I'd probably have to look for a skinny screw driver or something but if there are any kits that are handy and good to have around for these types of situations, I'm interested in possibly purchasing something. Just wanted to get some other's thoughts. Thanks.

 

Good display! What figure is the 'evil' Arcee next to Astrotain?

 

Nope, there is no disassembling needed for either arm.

 

great I’ve been wanting to glue that spoiler in place since I got the toy, but was waiting to make sure...I’ve lost the little red spoiler bits in the couch at least 3 times now...

 

That's the Ocular Max Arcee Stealth version

 

Did I hear 4x4 Kallax?  

He's fine without Gravestone stuck into the chest. The way the panel come together, there's no structural integrity issues as well.

Everything passes a shake test, whereby I literally grab the Kallax and shake it gently. Enough to know that a hard bump into it with my chair won't have everything tumbling down, including the legends-scaled figs perched atop the big guys.

 

Love that display!

 

I think I give up on these waste tabs! I'm totally defeated! Tabs - 1, Me - 0! I've lifted the hip skirts and tried pressing from underneath, I tried pushing it down at an angle and using the joint in the rear to bring it down, I don't get a snap, I don't get a click, I don't get anything but the bars sitting right above and just barely going in. I just can't make this work. I have no idea what else to possibly do. I've tried metal rods and tried to press down on the bars to press them in, nothing. It's just going to have to stand and use the weight of motor master to keep things down and I'll just have to remember to be careful when picking it up to move it. Gr. , Haha. Really kinda bothers me that I can't get that one part. Just knowing it's not proper is going to bug me in the back of my mind. I thought maybe my finger nails were too long and I clipped them just so I had more finger power to press with, lol. Was no help. So much for that...
