    Not a big but yes, initially had the same issue tucking in the rear wheels. All flush now. Now don't get me started with the shoulder/arm wheels:confused:

    Just a quick repaint of Transformers Kingdom Commander Class Rodimus Prime’s face brings a much better look in my opinion. Softens up the harsh shadows the reflective silver was making, but still manages to bear resemblance to Clint Eastwood? 722F5F5B-78DC-474B-96C7-1CA73F0D060B.jpeg

    Yep, I posted this photo a few weeks ago. It's Rodimus holding POTP's gun (1/2 of it), as compared to the ridiculously long one that he came with.

    Nope. But initially, the panel on his left foot/shin wouldn't lock in place. I was tempted to use the floor polish fix but the panel has remained connected.

    Also, minute nitpick on Rodimus, the peg on his default rifle is too short yet he has those awesome finger articulation.

    And when if he fails to face Mad Dog Galvatron everybody everywhere will say, "Clint Eastwood is the biggest yellow-belly in the West

    Many thanks to you and the others who have suggested this grey repaint of the face. I’ve done mine as well. It’s a vast improvement over the stock silver.

    What gray paint did you guys use? Any specific brand or can a regular old acrylic paint from Walmart work for it?

    Can the head be taken apart to isolate the face or do you just have to be super careful? My hands aren't too steady....

    There is a screw in the back of his head. Super easy. I took his head apart just to see if I could. I'm thinking About doing an old man Rodimus from the end of Regen1 with yellow eyes

    Pretty sure Hotrods head is glued. Any amateur attempt could possibly damage him. Not sure what the appeal of baby face Rodimus would be. Now an older Post G1 cartoon Hotrod might be cool. The colors don't match
