    @TCracker I found some pictures on your facebook page of the vehicle properly tabbed together and I'll just share them here cause I'm too excited FB_IMG_1498367219860.jpg FB_IMG_1498367218094.jpg FB_IMG_1498367216405.jpg FB_IMG_1498367214700.jpg

    Anyways, I made a video showing off the transformation from robot to vehicle mode, highlighting some of the issues I'm facing. If I'm presented/come up with a solution, I'll be sure to include it in my full review.



    This was not an easy transformation to get across on camera. (^.^')

    Nope. It does help somewhat with the smokestacks, but cab remains impossible.

    I don't think one picture proves much (^.^'). For all we know, one touch and everything will pop apart. The fact that one joints needs to be untabbed for it to work means that they already dropped the ball. (^.^')

    You were unlucky and got a dud.lol that would be the best reasoning FOR this toy because at least if you and tcracker got duds it means the actual figure has one less problem(not that it has many) commonly.
    I feel bad that you got a bad fig but damn am i praying that the problem pegging everything together is an unusual case and not the norm.For the line's sake.:/

    I wouldn't be too sure about that. At this point in time the duds outnumber the non-duds. Not to mention, from what we've been seeing, things have to be left unpegged for others to peg in, which isn't something that wins awards in the QC or design department.

    Can someone just contact Takara on social media and explain the issues early release buyers are having, or am I just being too naïve?

    I mean for all the other figures we've seen thus far, it seems as though they are able to peg in properly so I think it might be just your copy that has these issues

    His might be the only one with the issue as so far, we've seen that people have been able to tab these figures together properly so I don't see why not for @Actar's

    Yeah, but I would want to support this line as much as possible to show Hasbro that we want these kind of figures and that we as consumers are willing to buy such figures, cause if we don't show them, the mpm line might just fizzle out

    Er, but it's not just mine. TCracker's can't peg in either and the windows aren't fully pegged in in the picture you linked too either. There's only one that's fully pegged in and we don't know if it took some special tweaking/force. It might even be on a hair trigger and pop open on the slightest touch.

    It's hard to come see in some pictures, but the gap is very noticeable in person.

    At least the hood's flush, but we still don't know if that's brute force or something else. I guess I'll just have to wait to be disassociated. But if the hood pegs in fine, then I won't really have to worry about the windshield not letting in
