    Yes for both problems on mine. Mismatched hip ratchets and backwards neck.

    It comes from the Combiner Hunters set, but since I feel the weapons are too big for those figures, I use them with my Combiners. I got Beelzeboss' Iron Lady set for the hunters.

    I saw a pic of StarSGream's instructions that mentioned "Modulus" ... do they have a recommended combiner for him or is it just a modified Wreckage?

    It's a optional thing with Scattorshot, SG Starscream, Botcon Medix, Botcon/United Ratchet, and Rook. But no nothing specific or recommended beyond that. I repurposed him as Storm Jet, and teamed him up with Thunderclash, Impactor, Rook, and Alpha Bravo.

    Not sufficiently heroic, apparently. And really, can you leave out someone who doesn't come with his own HFG?

    does the sword fit without stressing the clear plastic? That would have me worried about breaking that fist

    Impactor has a fist, but doesn't use it for Wreckage.

    Because of the sword's pummel, it cannot be plugged into the port, so I have the fingers curl around the grip. No worry of plastic stress or breakage! ;)

    Been working on my Toxitron tanker add-on, here's what I've got so far. It's made to connect to the back of the PE kit in combined mode. I'm also planning on making a new head for him. I'll be posting my WIP pics in Radicons Customs once I'm finished.

    Also seriously considering that Toxic gun that allew is using, looks awesome with Toxitron!

    Finally home from my trip, opened up my set and my Toxitron has funky hips and the misfired pin for combiner head too... that sucks... but I do like him more than I thought I would, I may end up keeping him for awhile... Can't decide. Starscream is already in my sales thread though, the colors and character do nothing for me. Counterpunch is very solid, but I'm sad there's no Punch to go with him.

    Even as a whole, I feel this set didn't do much for me personally. I've sold a majority of it because of that, there's certainly a few ideas that are very cool, like Optimus and Megatron pretenders, but I prefer Oilslick to Optimus and without an Optimus don't care about Megatron as much either, especially since it was a G1 shell. Now, had the spider double pretender been created and used as Megatron, I might've been way into that, but that wasn't in the cards. Fractyl is cool because I've got Packrat, Lifeline got sold, but the two Targetmasters have been very nice, so I've kept those.

    I'm sure there's some explanation for why Starscream happened, but ultimately I doubt it's enough to make me want to hang on to this figure. I will say I'm sad that the options for 2017 Botcon are all Action Master inspired, because those have been some of my favorite FunPub toys, and so far the concepts would've been must haves for me.

    On all counts. Do they replace them or we have to fix on our own?

    Ditto, I actually liked Action Masters growing up, would have liked to see Transformable versions.

    Mine has the mismatched hips and having seen your post, it seems to have the backwards neck too. I was thinking of contacting FunPub to get a replacement, but figured for close to what shipping would cost me, I can just get a set of nonnef ratchets and save myself the gamble of getting another Toxitron with mismatched hips.

    The neck is an easy fix with an x-acto knife or a bit of sanding. And go with the Nonnef ratchets as they give so much more movement range over the stock hips regardless of being correct or not.

    I got the JoeCon 2016 comic. I had no idea there was a 2 page TransTech/Shattered Glass story in the back.

    Got my Toxitron and StarSGream from a friendly seller here on the boards and boy are they great! And I say this acknowledging if you're suffering mold fatique these are not for you.

    But I really like the FunPub touches on Toxie. The splash of paint for the symbol, and the rust patches on the chest in combined mode. It's too bad they didn't have a custom head for the combined mode but I like that they worked with what they had to mix and match CW Prime/CW Motormaster.

    I'd totally buy a cheap Grand Scourge just to finish off my collection of this mold. And StarSGream looks great in person and the Shining Finger HFG will make a great addition to whichever torso he winds up on once I've got my various spare limbs shuffled around.

    Now to track down the four TAV Legends figures to give these guys a 6th member.
