    Their Cog proto was spot-on. Spot-on.

    Why didn't they ever release that, I'll never know.

    I so need those slippers.

    Maybe they'll make platform shoes for Trypticon!

    Trypticon will just chew on 'Plex's slippers.

    More seriously, Tryptcon, other than missing Brunt and maybe getting longer arms (which would be a shit ton of plastic and perhaps prohibitive) sure seems less in need of DNA help than the other two. Since they're in the ratchet replacement business, they could probably get something nice for those of us w/ridiculous springs, I suppose

    I've been waiting for this to complete my Fortress. Missed the bump of the thread on 7.26 by daimchoc with in box pic.

    I'm not sure what you mean. Everything looks to be there in the in-box pic; slippers with tilt and all.

    This includes ratchets for the legs right? My fort max has a slight lean forward which is kind of annoying haha

    pretty sure the ratchets are for outward leg movement improvement, not forward. I don't have my kit yet, but looking at the ratchets and the fact that I've disassembled mine before...

    DNA Design updated their Facebook page on August 22, 2017 with pictures of production... basically photos of thousands of shoe parts. They also mentioned an expected release of mid-September.

    Awesome update. I've been waiting very patiently for this. Smoking slow on this release though but worth the wait.

    Will wait for a review, but I might jump on these if they're good.

    I'm looking forward to the increased articulation that the hip and footplates should offer. I still have to acquire myself DK-02 to upgrade Fortress Maximus.

    How will this work with the Hasbro one?
    Everything is compatible? Including color?
