    Kind of want to grab this guy for the collection since they dropped the LEDs and painted the eyes. I'd much rather have good looking eyes all the time vs a gimmick that looks okay for a few minutes at a time.

    Are the wheels durable this time or are they still breaking on people?

    I mixed together some black and aluminum Tamiya paints and managed to get an exact color match for his eyeliner to match the chin strap on his face.

    I also painted the missing chrome on the shoulder pads and the calfs with a chrome pen.

    So, to clarify, the newest batch has all painted eyes? Or stickers? I’ve been trying to read the last couple pages and things are confusing to me. Is this latest batch available already?

    My copy of the latest batch came with painted eyes on the figure and a sheet of stickers.

    Doubtful. It's a completely different mold. Why do you ask? I thought the eyes on that figure were perfect.

    Bummer. I'll try anyway. I have. BW Megatron KO with a fault LED in his head so the eyes look dead 24/7, and I'd rather put a sticker on them.

    Aw man sorry to hear that. Yeah try anyways. I could be very wrong. What I did with TM Megatron was I took a metallic magenta Gundam Marker and just painted it on the eyes. I didn't add the "pupils" because the light alone I feel reflects off them and gives that kind of feel. Also because Gundam Markers have thinners in them that I think would goof up the parts I already painted if I did.

    Post results if you try with your KO!
