His shoulders are mis-transformed out of the box, need to adjust a few things. This video shows what’s up

 

Thanks!

 

Great Figure! I know the waist swivel sucks, but honestly its not that big a deal compared to the transformer you get.

 

His hip skirts have side panels you need to flip out and those ab / oblique bits should line up to fill out the torso a bit. He needs a bit of fiddling to make his robot mode chonky!

 

thanks. Just put him in jet mode and the transformation revealed a lot of those little tweaks to get the robot mode rocking. The jet mode size is awesome, but man are some of those tabs tough to lock in.

 

Can anyone say: Air superiority!

 

Man red Swoop looks pretty great!

 

I still wonder why they put ACMI pods on the wingtips instead of missiles...

 

I dont know about you but those FT Flyers just Look like they came straight out of Ring Raiders... Is anyone old enough to rememver those?

 

I'm old enough to remember, I just don't.

 

"Flying Fighters" were WAY better:

 

Dang I had to google that. I was 13 years old when that came out in 1989, but for the life of me, I do not remember that at all.

 

Has anyone had the armature on Not Silverbolt come off? Mine came off and it is being held on by one tiny screw. It's plastic against diecast? No joint or washer on a rotating joint? Is this right? Am I missing a piece?

 

I think a few people have had that happen.

A few little niggles like this have cropped up on recent figures, where rotating peices have been screwed together without using a cuff or bolt to stop the rotating piece turning the screw that attaches it.

Roadking's head is similar in that if you turn it one way it tightens the screw fixing it to the shoulders...

 

The screw sheared off on one of mine but fortunately it doesn’t affect the structural integrity of either modes.

 

Had the same issue, whereby the screw just sheared itself off. If you can pry it out and find another suitable screw you can put it back together easily, and the figure is still transformable regardless [though with one arm and side of torso able to pop off between modes].

 

Haven't transformed mine yet but I hope it doesn't happen with mine when I do. If so, Better believe I'm hitting FT up for the replacement parts, even for just a screw.
