Devastator continues having a bad day...

 

Damn, TK done made Devy into a foot stool. Just how much bad luck can Devy have? I hope the other Cons had sense enough to stay out TK's way or they're next on his list.. Autobots too..  

 

Has anyone else noticed the amount of sag being caused by the weight of the wings in the cannon mounts?

The idea for a 3d printed part I had would be a connection between the two inward facing cannon slots to provide a bit of extra support and rigidity in that area.

So, now that's out there, if anyone happens to design/make it then just send me one!

 

I haven't noticed much sagging, but that is a great idea!

 

Yeah it was a poor location choice to put the wings. The red blades can be taken off the cannons btw. I almost want to remove the red blades on top of the lion mane too, his face is obscured by them most of the time

 

Now that many people have him combined up - how is your full gestalt experience? Was it a pain to combine? Are you satisfied with the stability?

Just got my last pieces recently. Took them all out of their displays in bot mode to mess with them. All of em feel great - except the bird/firmament/divebomb - who feels like a total piece of crap to handle. Can't remember if he felt so bad when I left him in there - the legs just fall apart! I've transformed him a couple times but nothing that would cause real wear. What gives?

 

For me, no real problems except a couple mistransformations on 2 of the figures, but other than that, the experience was better than I expected. Just a bit time consuming with a couple of the bots, but once you have them all mastered in all 3 modes, getting them back and forth should be a breeze. And the stability with it was no problem. Took just a bit of adjusting to get it well balanced. Holds the weight of the cannon and sword well. For me, TK was one of the most solid and stable combiners I've ever own. I broke him down to take some pics of all the members in their respected modes, poses and other stuff and will have them back in combined mode once I'm done. But I must warn everyone, there's gonna be a LOT of pics for each member. Some more than others and when they're all posted, you'll understand and see why..

 

Combining them was pretty easy. The hardest part is getting the knee braces on, but it's just because they're secure. Combined he is very stable, and very heavy, even for a combiner. He can pull off pretty much any pose within reason thanks to a rock-solid foundation with the wolves and the ape. I'd still do a shake test before leaving him though, as this is one figure you don't want to take any chances with. Overall, I dig the concept and the execution, and he looks imposing as hell on a shelf or a table. Highly recommended.

 

Pain to combine? The longest part was getting all the bots into combine mode. Combining itself was relatively easy.

Stability? He is the most stable of all my combiners; I can pose him and he doesn't tip or fall over. It's great.

I think in terms of bots, I had the most trouble with Kinglion. He's amazing, don't get me wrong, but transforming him was the most annoying.

 

There was a lot of twisting, turning, detaching and reattaching pieces with him. But the end result was worth it. The mistakes I had was with both Landbull & Hugerhino. A fellow reviewer helped me realize the mistakes I made when getting those two in leg mode. With Hugerhino, I didn't realize I had the red hip skirts in the wrong place, until after the fact. Turns out they are supposed to go under the beast mode arms before bringing them down and over the hip skirts to hide them and the gold chest piece for robot mode, I didn't tuck down under the combiner peg. For Landbull, someone on here pointed out that the tab on the lower part of his torso in robot mode, in the back, is supposed to come up and tab in from his ab crunch to help lock and secure it in place. Now I have to keep all that in mind when recombining all of them. Some things are easily missed if not careful. Not a single review video or the instructions for Landbull ever pointed that one thing out. Why? I haven't the slightest clue..

 

I have the two red blades resting down like in RZ500's photos

 

LOL, looks like Super Thing!

 

man all these pics of the combined mode are so awesome still waiting on my last member to get here

 

Got my rhino safe and sound and also finally got my replacement part for firmament's bad leg. wasn't too hard to replace, just had to loosen a few screws and it was good to go. Now if they could just hurry up the the landbull reissue.

 

I kinda like this look on the back foot

 

I finally finished after 3 days of transforming him!

 

Cang Toys with MMC, and my son’s Power of the Primes Predaking (I couldn’t find his tiny sword).

 

We finally killed the last Prime!

 

Triple threat!
