The true story behind "A Prime Problem" is far more complex than we ever realized...

 

Every photo you share is a gift, @chchchch !!!

 

Aw no way, thanks Dean!! All I ask in return is that you post some more of yours      

 

I feel like there’s no point! You’re doing all the heavenly lifting! You are doing the Lord’s work!

 

Is Dean going into retirement?

 

I’ve taken some measurements while I had Star Cream’s right leg pulled apart. Although the intent wasn’t to parts count, I did figure out what size screw we’ll need to replace the rivet like @Destructimis Prime has done. It’s an M2 class screw.

Screw Head: 3mm
Screw Diameter: 2mm
Screw Length: 7mm?

This won’t be confirmed until I measure the length of the rivet. But 7mm seems to be a safe length for now. The screws in Starscream’s legs are a perfect match and anyone could test it beyscrewing the screw into the leftover space not occupied by the rivet.

I won’t do the parts count/rivet replacement until I source the screws online. I’ll be looking at a few websites over the next few days to find them.

 

I've never been a fan of MP11, and seekers troopsbuiding ever annoyed me.
I have to admit, i like SS Blitzwing and SS Starscream,but the classic seekers mold leave me somewhat... bored.
Until this MF. It's a real fun to mess with it. I like the aestetic, the paint, the proportions, the tickness... and i'm really happy to have already preordered the other two mnm'seekers.
Time to upgrade all the old boring molds!

 

Those screws are a pain.... I needed to replace one on the hip of my MP44 KO, and it was a nightmare. I ended buying a whole box of different size screws just to get the one that I needed.

 

Good grief whatta beauty!

 

Finally placed my order today. Looking forward to joining all you cool kids. And dreading whether this is going to make me want to retire my MT Thundercracker and Skywarp.

 

SPOILER ALERT: it will

 

Thank you for reciprocating!   Best casual standing photo yet!

 

Aw thanks pal - I don’t agree but glad you think so! Means a lot from you!

 

Just boring ass turnarounds here, but man whatta figure! Right up there with Inferno, Hound, & 44 Prime as one of the best looking G1 MPs from every angle.

 

This pic is my new Home Screen . Thank you DML.

 

A real honor! Thank you ol buddy!

 

Try McMaster Carr maybe? You will need the self tapping screws for plastic that have the triangular shaped threaded shaft. That’s what I’m planning to buy myself.

 

So, this thread's title...suppose by now it needs an update?  

 

If you get yours soon, letus know how it works. Good call on the self-tapping for plastic. For now, I used Starscream’s other screw for itsince everthing is plastic. I think the only thing that blocked a full insert was the rivet itself. 7mm could be too short but 8mm might work better.
