    Hello, the truth is that Kronos, despite all its faults, is imposing in robot mode, but in alternate mode there is “something” wrong.


    That “something” is undoubtedly the nose of the airplane, the decision to split the nose in robot mode and form of the aircraft with a smaller part certainly wasn't the best solution.

    Skyfire is a character that I like very much, I decided to arrange alternate mode and so I created this fake nose to Kronos using styrene of 1 and 2 mm and transparent plastic.

    The result has been this piece that can be put into alternate mode on the nose of the airplane, it is not perfect but certainly works.

    This is regular Kronos.

    And so it is with the set piece.

    No doubt this simple piece makes that figure improve from all angles and as it would have been if they hadn’t split the nose in two.

    Love it!

    I've always noticed that alot of times it seems like people don't pull the nose out all the way for their pics, but the problem is that even with it pulled out, it still looks like he stubbed his nosecone on a mountain or something.

    This is something I would absolutely love if someone did a limited run of. You absolutely nailed it.

    I haven't much problems too, but obviously the figure can be better and with this piece i fix the bigger problem in alt mode.
