    That's the best Unicron paintjob I've ever seen. Well done!

    What's everyone doing with all the little guys from the accessory pack? I've got a total of 16 little robots and only 15 holes in the Unicron head stand piece. Just looking for ideas really.

    Sorry if this has been asked previously.

    There's 3D printed replacement stands on their way.

    Really? Will they hold all three (or four) ships? Three will do, because you can put the Quint ship in his eye!

    Yeah there will be room for all the ships. JRC Design is working on it. It's a replacement for the entire mount thing that came with Unicron, along with new arms and more slots for mini-figs. But he's waiting for mass release of Reformatting Galvatron and the Unicron DLC because the minifigs don't have a uniform foot prin size. However because its 3D printed and not injection molded, it will look different (likely a lot less transparent).

    The fact that Hasbro didn't offer official arms for their mount, but made the holes for them is so preposterous to me.

    Yeah, I don't get the 16 figures to 15 slots thing either.

    Plus it's a real swine getting some of them in the slots. Snarl in particular is being a bit of a d**k, I suppose it's in his nature.

    Can you show some more pictures of the poles? It’s my biggest gripe about the planet mode, aside from the maw color.

    On the back of Teletraan-1 is the Ark’s ship deck with slots for them if you have it.

    Ha ha thanks, yeah I've seen that but I'm normally an MP scale collector so sadly the ark doesn't fit. That plus £120 for storage is I bit pricey.

    I would love to see the ark bridge fully kitted out with the little guys though if anyone's got pics to share.

    So I just got my new kit and put them in yesterday and you weren't kidding. I bet I played around with this for like 30 mins before I got ticked off and had to ask someone to assist me as I put it together. I still have the left eye off a tick but at this point, it's staying how I have it, lol. I wish that when they made it, the eyes were more snug on those pins, just like the original eyes. Good GOD that made for a difficult replacement. Everything is great, once done. Just getting there is nuts.

    Too lazy to search through the 1860 pages of posts for this.

    Is Madpropps planning on making more of those kits in the future? I totally forgot about them and remember seeing them teased and missed the purchase window.

    Today found out that the ships from the Galvatron set and the base set are blast effect compatible.

    Also try using a blacklight on him in both bot and planet mode.

    He should feel right at home. Since everything in that photo Exploded into billions of pieces in their respective movies.
