    No problem, sometimes there is too much information to read when we are looking something specific. In my case I applied nail polish in the no ratchet articulations for make it stronger.

    I was looking to buy the OS ones when my MT Axle broke into 3 pieces but couldn't find the complete set anywhere, was browsing on ShowZ, and they got the Yes Model complete set up for preorder!

    Another reviewer that broke tabs on Hotspot. o_O .

    I know a lot of people here and in reviews are complaining of breaking stuff and the difficulty in combining, and some have said that they will leave them in combined mode and never take them apart again, as a result.

    Just wondering how many here actually still transform them regularly every time they play with them, since many have said it's a bitch to combine them?

    It's almost as if this is a cheap knockoff of a another product.

    My Hotspot went straight to combined mode when I got it. It's still their and staying. To me they just look to good in combined mode to risk breaking anything. I somehow managed to do it without breaking any of them, and I am not gonna push my luck.

    I still do it occasionally. It doesn't bother me as much. Not much of a hassle to me.

    All I need to do is rewatch any of the old videos of the Maketoys originals by either Wotafa or Breauxman.

    I've messed around with them all in bot mode most, transformed them only once or twice except, Vulcan and Katana. But I love the heroic proportions of the combined mode so much they'll be there for a while. Transformations are interesting but not without a bit of a struggle.

    Huh? The YM Vulcan is one heck of a sturdy piece. It could double as a blunt weapon for defense lol

    personally love MT's intuitive transformations.

    I fine MT Quantron more challenging tbh :)

    So is he known for having the pins that hold his forearm armour in place strip? Saw someone in a few pages back fixing his but not sure if its a wide spread problem? Got mine a few days ago and the forearm armour just fell off when I went to transform him...

    It appears to be the NBK knockoff.

    Search "Gravity Builder".

    Original is by Generation Toys.

    There's also a cheaper, near exact copy by DABAN Model.

    And there's an even cheaper but slightly simplified copy by NBK.

    And an even more simplified copy by JinJiang that's really meant for kids.

    There's also an Oversized near exact copy by JinBao.
