    Had she been a Hot Rod retool she would’ve stunk, though. This monkey paw scenario we got isn’t ideal but I’ll take it.

    It's very minor but this stupid pin will scrape the white part because there's barely any clearance and ur supposed to do it in a specific way which I guess is my fault but still kind of sucks

    Just got mine a few days ago.
    So far so good. Very happy with her. Though, I'm hoping for some sort of upgrade kit to fill in the sides of the vehicle better.
    On my shelf she is Celeritas Prime, leader of Velocitron.
    Thinking of doing a custom for her pre-prime form out of a Minerva or Elita One which would be named Speedracer.

    The pin in the side of the torso is just plain bad engineering. Even if you do it correctly, there is barely any clearance and it will still get chewed up. A normal clip on peg like ER prowl's wheels with a pin driven through it for stability would've worked just fine with no scratching done.

    I looked for the pin, which is the reason for the damage, in the instructions and it's not even rendered. Doing the transformation exactly as the instructions say still damages the figure.

    Don't really like the color of black. Maybe it's just mine, but it's clearly brown.

    They totally could've. They also could've used a pin the same width as the piece it's inside with a slightly larger plastic ring inside. Doing it that way would've prevented any possible scratches
