    I dunno, that photo makes it look like they're about to "fix me" a big ol' helping of lasers to the face, lol.

    They'll fix you, even if you don't want or need it.

    Thanks for this! I've been looking forward to see this set and it looks pretty good but I think it would be better if they made one for Kingdom Skywarp that replaced the guns with removable swords.

    Thanks for the review. Looks great on beast mode, but functionally worthless in bot mode.

    Might be done eventually

    just wished we could peg them on the shoulders instead of the arms... that way we could've made the wings wrap the body sort of like a overcoat with the wings... would've looked so awesome :D

    Sweetmall-1 on eBay posted some new Tim Heada kits. As usual, beware of potential (major) QC issues.

    Hey, asking for advice. I'm looking into gap fillers to go with my various iterations of the Siege Sideswipe figure (got the Covert Clone Sideswipe, GS Deep Cover, Netflix Deep Cover, and Tigertrack), and I'm weighing my options. So far, TFLab is looking to have the best ones, both price-wise and color-wise, but if anyone can offer alternatives (or at least suggest which color gap filler is best for each iteration of the mold), then I'm open for them.

    I don't know if the other figures will have the same shade of white, though, as these 2.

    I appreciate the attempt on the Perceptor tank mode bits but they just look too dumb in bot mode.

    Now I'm wondering how well Perceptor would look with Siege Brunt's front half (claw arms and chest/torso) stuck on to make his tank mode. They could weaponizer on his back in bot mode as a pair of Doctor Octopus-style arms.

    Yeah thats basically how I feel. The backfiller is great. Even the tank mode looks better. But its not worth the robot mode junk.

    Is there a claw replacement kit for Black Zarak? I know there's one for Scorponok.

    Saw this on DaimChoc's - Upgrade kit for SS Brawn
    Cool that one of the blasters is a homage to Megatron's fusion cannon.

    Are we sure it isn't meant to homage Outback's gun?

    I think with that design it could go either way. My mind did immediately go to that G1 scene where he throws it over his shoulder and attacks Megatron with his own weapon though.
