    I did a bit of both - I didn't want to make it impossible to get the gun off the underside of the nose in jet mode.

    Speaking of the tolerances though I tried the guns from other toys on the standard size and they fit tightly the one that comes with Brainstorm is loose - perhaps it was changed to make storage on the jet nose easier.

    Thinking of getting one of these.....


    Who do you see as being a voyager or big boy with the decepticon headmasters; Skullcruncher or Weird Wolf?

    I did. I can’t seem to get it just right. Totally operator error I’m sure. Regardless I’m happy with how it turned out.

    I received Brainstorm and Highbrow today. I am sooo impressed!!! Aside from a few modifications these figures are completely impressive. If these things weren't twice the size of the officials I would swear they were the genuine article.

    Opinions...I was thinking of giving my 'voyager' brainstorm the weapons from my 'thrilling thirty' Brainstorm. Of coarse, they would have to be painted to match...

    I rather like Blurr so I hope they consider making him too. Especially in the Takara colours.

    I can certainly see making Hot Rod Kup and Blurr as a nice little set idea to do and if they don't want to make whole new moulds for Hot Rod and Kup they could always do Blurr, Arcee, Krok, Quake pretty simply. or even go a bit left field and use the overscale Alpha Bravo mould to male a Spinister.

    But if there was any thought to eventual repaints then there is some potential there with Hot Rod - such as Sideburn Clear Hot Rod and Black Hot Rod. (Or shattered deco = which would go really nicely with the POTP Unicron infected Rodiumus), So they can get some use out of Hot Rod - they can even do the Takara versions with the Targetmasters too to add value.

    Then with Kup there is some potential for an Orion Pax deco too. 'm sure lots of people would welcome the Decepticon Targetmasters to be overscalled too - but I don't mind waiting if they want to do other things - I'm sure lots of people would prefer they finsih the main Headmasters 1st and then perhaps also finish the Stunticons they started in on too.

    I'm itching for the rest of the headmasters.
    But i doubt we'll get any cool redecoes or even Takara colors sadly.
    Everything they've done has been Hasbro colors with the odd white head for Skullcruncher. I doubt we'll get anything different in future.

    At this point I'm hoping WJ decide to do most or all of the TR Deluxes. Apart from what's already on the way, I've got Krok, Quake, Misfire, Triggerhappy, Blurr and Windblade on my wish list.

    Who else wants to see an upscale Cerebros? I want a mp10 sized one with upgrades in the hands and legs dept. no lights and sounds though. It can come with both headmasters. I thought it would have been done by now. Fucking no brainer
