    No problem. :thumb 
    Just make sure you use the kit screws when doing the pelvis. The old screws won't hold the two halves together. Along with the removing/installing of the two pins and the pelvis, these are the most difficult of the custom.

    Well, my kit was put on with minimal issues! Aside from the pins, it wasn't too bad. Managed to break one side of the inner pelvis driving that one back in but luckily it was no biggie due to how the chest connects anyway

    Glad to hear you got him together. How do you like him so far?

    Oh he's beyond amazing. My only gripe is that, using the kit's new hip ratchets, one leg is way more loose then the other at the hip swing. I've taken it apart and inspected for damage and nothing. I even swapped the inner leg ratchet with another CW prime and it's still loose.
    Other than that he's SO imposing looking on the shelf

    Sorry to hear about the hip issue.
    It's hard to believe that a so-so decent figure can be transformed(pun intended) into such an imposing shelf presence. He does look fantastic.

    I agree completely. This was well worth the overall purchase

    EDIT: Hip issue has been fixed! I poked a hole through some scrap paper and stuck it into the new hip to add some extra resistance. Worked like a charm

    There was a KO of BCOP made. Might still be some out there at a better price. Quality was on par with the original iirc.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere on this forum that there was. Unless it was only a plan to do one, and never was. Sorry if I got anyones hopes up.

    Thanks for the clarification, thought I might have mis-remembered about it.

    Ebay:
    I had this thread still followed... I've still not installed this kit on BCOP. Question, there any place to get some replacement ratchets? From installing the SND kit on the regular Optimus, I know this figure will likely have a time trying to support the new parts, esp in combiner mode. (Heck, the base figure barely holds up in combiner mode.) Non-Nef ratchets have been unavailable for quite a while... and the only shapeways kit I found is apparently not available since the prints from there didn't work out? =/

    I've been wondering this, since it seems like we'll never get the reverse-colors Nemesis Prime version that was in IDW briefly. Been thinking of getting another kit to go w Motormaster & painting but haven't checked to see if the kit is available anywhere.

    A little like this, I suppose.

    Screenshot_20210925-101141~2.png

    My copy is a bit finnicky in combined mode but I got it for the core Nova Bot mode and like that it's great!

    I recently acquired the white magnus kit and need to know if anyone has any nonnef-type hip ratchets they're printing for it.

    TF Source has it on "sale" https://tfsource.com/snd-04-x-mortis-upgrade-kit/

    Protip: if you buy from TF Source make sure you use paypal in order to avoid getting your cc# hacked due to their lackluster security.

    I got this for $30 when it was on sale at TF source recently. Have an extra Motormaster that I want to try it out on.
    Not sure how compatible they will be
