    I turn 23 next monday. I wonder if we'll get Bandit before I get kicked off my parent's insurance at 26?

    Man, these FT Stunticons are a real challenge... they look so dang good in alt mode, that i have a real difficult time each time to want to go ahead with the transformation back to robot. I think especially Roadking and Magnum are especially awesome looking in alt mode, that i just cant go through... and NO, i aint buying another set to leave each in their respective mode, lol

    I think FT's transformations are in general a challenge most of the time, but the result is really worth it.

    I don't like Dragstrip's altmode though. It's pretty off. Both DX9 and XTB did better.

    I really enjoy the transformations except for Spoiler... Those legs are scary and the arms are already showing some scrapes and stuff just from using a Spudger.

    Chipped a tiny bit of pain on my spoiler's tiny little swively bit on the back of the left shoulder on the 2nd/3rd transformation. His engineering is garbage. Smokey is a fun, simple, transformation. Spoiler is pain...

    Yeah, I’m not a fan of that part of the transformation. I had that piece in front of the tire break at the hinge the first time I went from alt to bot using a spudger. Waiting on a replacement part from FT.

    It's miniscule for the most part but damn my OCD levels of attention to detail feel for you.

    Yup. Add me to the list that finds Spoiler’s transformations as joyful as as root canal without sedatives. Geez. Those really are tolerances from hell.

    I want Deadend yesterday!

    Also, I personally don't think Spoiler is that much of a chore to transform. Admittedly I've only been around the block twice but still, both times I found hassle free. Emgo was helpful.

    Maybe it's my articulated fingers? (although I do have a f*&%ed up finger from a basketball dislocation which I never got seen to early on in the pandemic because I didn't want to go into the Hospital for such a superficial injury considering what was going on at the time)... now the bone a fused and it sort of sticks out at a 45 degree angle, which doesn't exactly help transformations.

    You guys running with typewriter-syndrome?

    No new info, but this was answered in January of this year.

    Especially if those stumps are not a uniform grey - by this token they will be striped.

    Maybe there will be parts that cover them?
