    Are three sweeps enough? Should I get more?

    I have the same issue as you do. I just took some thin Styrene tubing, cut them to size and wedged them inside the plastic tooth for the ratchet joint. It's a good enough fix for the knees and hip ratchets. My only real issue is that the hips, when moving out to the side, they are super loose, and since those have rivet pins, I can't get in there to tighten them up.

    And just like that, no other voice-over will ever be sufficiently adequate for a Sharkticon . . .

    MmmHmm. You get yourself a Thena figure and you’ll have early 2000s romance, I reckon.

    Haven't seen pics around of the Sweep version of the mold with a Takara Legends Scourge. They work really well together. Blue of the old one is slightly lighter shade and the light blue is more purplish on the ss86 version.

    Haha maybe.. Still think it's a very decent Deluxe Scourge and it works nicely as a Sweep. :)

    Anything scourge works as a sweep.
    You can never have enough cannon fodder.

    That’s amazing!

    Also, my fin is ALSO ridiculously loose. Anyone else having that issue? And his lower jaw is really loose in beast mode, but I found a way around that…mostly.

    MMMhmm. I picked up a Thena this week and I briefly considered this as well.
    The port on the backpack is slightly larger than 5mm, so I was experimenting with tabbing the fin through the back into the back/tail port and that’s when I got that slight hunch that made me think of Karl Childers.
    I got some other results by removing the backpack so the head doesn’t jut up, and the fin is secured, but the parts forming just feels weird. I don’t know why they would make the fin a separate piece but here we are.
