    That's just so awesome because it's almost the opposite ;) 

    @TransformerFanatic sounding like a paid ad is completely fine...man...that year or 2 when we went through ebay heck with hundreds and thousands of positive review sellers...then rogue and we were either sent a packet of seeds, glass beads, or nothing...we were lucky...that was just nonsense...
    Why I promote Showzstore so much...also there was one store that went DODO for some unknown reason...I loved them too...their name might be associated to a Japanese concept of a lunch box. ;) 

    Not the best of figures, but a fun package ;)

    Anyone know of any shops that still have this for MSRP? I had it on pre-order at showz and somehow overlooked the pre-order payment request a month ago. First time I've ever done that. :(

    Planet Steel Express. I believe it’s the online storefront for MMC.

    TFSafari cancelled my preorder on this one. Very unfortunate. :(

    It sounds like TFSafari is still hoping to honor active orders; I got this as a reply to my inquiry:
    Hi Mike,

    Sorry for the issue, we heard the latest batch would be released in Q2. Due to our supply chain issue we didn’t get the qty of the 1st batch which is released in Jan.

    If you want we can offer you full refund first. Pls let us know.

    Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience. ​

    TFSAFARI​

    Yeah I wanted this and was gonna go through tfsafari but fact it's sold out and took so long to come in I'm thinking it's a pass. Prob for best as I was considering dumpingnmy entire 3rd party run of stuff to pay off bills debts and buy tools to start a business.

    Can't recall. I use both. ShowZ may have been sold out at the time.

    Hmm. I didn't get an option- they just sent my money back this AM unprompted. I messaged earlier, so here's to hoping.

    Yeah, I actually contacted them first, so maybe that's why I didn't have mine cancelled.

    Has anybody actually transformed this KO into alt mode?
    Following T2RX6's transformation guide, it is not possible. The peg holes aren't on the forearms, the leg doesn't rotate just above the knee.
    I'd love to be proven wrong, please let me know if you've been able to transform this figure into alt mode.

    Edit: You don't need the peg holes in the forearms, however, as there isn't the rotation just above the knee, I can't see how to store the pistol in alt mode. It's supposed to peg in on the underside but now it can't. There's no way to fit the pistol behind the spider leg assembly, not enough space.
    Other than that, that's a very nice motorbike mode!

    I have, back when I first got it when it came out. It’s been a while, though.

    In my recollection, it actually transformed much easier than the official PE-DX01 Motobot (Arcee) that I have.

    @VulpineX Although I skipped over it, it is indeed possible :D

    I'd love to know how to attach the pistol. This KO doesn't have the rotational joint needed to move it out of the way.

    I transformed this KO. MagicPower_Wolfsbane_02_20221229.png MagicPower_Wolfsbane_03_20221229.png MagicPower_Wolfsbane_04_20221229.png
    I'll transform her again and see if I can store the pistol. I can't remember if I tried that.

    Okay, I transformed Magic Power MP-46 Black Wolfsbane (Black Arachnia) and found out where the pistol stores. Pictures below.
    I hope they can help you.

    You're welcome. It was fun to transform her again.
