    If they are, I cant figure it out. The videos I saw and the instructions say to push the damn thing through.
    I am afraid to do so, IDK where I am supposed to apply force and in which direction. The attempts I made show no signs of wanting to go through....

    Did you follow this guide

    Newly updated mold for Andras and swarm's new feet transformation video


    If you follow it exactly you shouldn't require any significant amount of force.

    Late reply cause I took a break from the toxicity of this forum.

    I had them transformed a couple days after I received them. I figured it out, though I have to say the guy who designed this is mad. The whole figure is perhaps one of the simplest mp transformations to follow, except that particular part.....

    Hi All,

    random question. Does anyone have the Unicron‘s eye accessory from the swarm pack that they don’t particularly want and would be willing to sell me? I think it comes with Wrath.

    cheers!

    Hmm, I'm thinking I might pick up one of the Andras moulds, I'll probably have FT's iteration as my main Scourge (if it ever comes out) but I could use Andras as a "Sweep" if I really wanted to. The current options are the original Andras, the updated version (does this only come in the darker "toon colour" blue or are there two versions of it?), or these "Sweeps". The Sweeps have the new feet but the original light blue colour scheme right? On the down side, I don't know if I want three of the things.

    If you do end up getting the set, I'd be happy to get just one from you if you live in the US.

    Andras and the Swarm are in:

    v1, lighter blue, old feet

    or

    v2, darker blue, fixed feet

    That applies to all 4 figures. I've got the v2 of them, so I can confirm.

    Hi All, bit of a random question but if anyone has XTB Wrath and didn’t want the accessories. Just wondered if you’d be willing to sell the ‘eye of the city’ accessory to me?

    Let me know if that’s the case.

    cheers!

    Sorry to bump this, but I just received the toon version today and I was looking up the foot transformation. It *is* easier than the original version, but not by much, I thought.

    It does seem to be sturdier at the ankle point, so that's a plus.

    Is it just me or is this a much better feeling version of the mold/figure? I had the original Andras, broken foot and all, and it felt so much worse than this.

    This is oddly above passable. Darn near "good", I'd even say. How is that possible??

    Got a copy as well. This version doesn’t scream bad and the ankle transformation was smoother.

    I'm surprised at how much different it feels. The deco is much more of a pleasing level than the previous one as well.

    No.
    These were released years ago. Any Starscream designs from that time would be very outdated now, so the accessories don't point towards an XTB Starscream any more than is suggested by the general passage of time.
