    Got Youth Motormaster in today. Kinda frustrated at USPS because my NA Scavenger/Bonecrusher arrived at the local post office at the same time this morning, but only this one went out for delivery.

    I think the grey/silver looks better than the purple. Same for the more subdued purple of the fuel tanks.

    Anyways, looks good, but it is kinda random that they chose to release this over the G2 version or Youth Wildrider. Like if they were going to release a MM, why not the one that actually completes a set. And I figured more people were clamoring for Youth Wildrider over Youth Motormaster.

    Is the sword that Gravestone uses the same sword for Menasor?

    No, at least not that I know of. Menasor his sword came with the trailer, as did his gun.

    If there were any improvements, they weren't obvious. Like random parts were tighter, and I managed to transform him without popping the front tires off the rims in his chest, but those were the only differences I noted.

    I like how he looks like he's thinking: "Now how am I going to lug those around..."

    The front tires popped off the rims during transformation? That's the first time I hear that. Does it happen everytime?

    Thanks. How's his waist bend? I think on the original it was pretty loose right?

    I wouldn't say every time, but more often than not when I transformed the original version it seemed very easy for the tires to pop off when trying to make room in the chest cavity for everything that has to go there.

    Unfortunately, that's still loose, at least on my copy.

    My reissue of the original has a snug waist joint and ab crunch so maybe subtle differences in the parts during manufacturing making it hit or miss.

    Some bot mode comparisons:

    You know I totally missed (or forgot) that Youth Gravestone has a different set of headlights in the faux-cab feet.

    Got this dude today from TCP. Managed to break the tab off his toe pretty much immediately. There's a bit of stress marking on the hinge in the waist already, and I can't seem to get the top of the chest to tab in properly. Uh... other than that, I'm a big fan lol. I think he looks great and articulation is pretty good for me (love the hands).
