    I still hate how they metal pin the rear wheels and then use a completely different clip-on method on the front wheels.

    How about just make them match?

    Think Hasbro will fix the loosening knees on this mold for Crosscut and "Medix"? Crankcase (use #3) was already getting pretty bad...

    Front wheels should just pop off, back wheels would need to be heated with a soldering iron on the pin. The later sounds bad, but really isn't all that difficult.

    I wish his taillights were painted like with Burnout.

    Problem: red wheels. Solution: swap the wheels. Fixed? Not quite. Red clips holding front wheel on. Solution?

    Swapping the whole shoulder assembly from Burnout onto Crosscut would be easier than punching that pin to replace just the wheel, and I think the black shoulders would look good to break up the silver. This is what I'll be doing with mine.

    I mean... everyone has different opinions.


    I was gonna say that, but I assumed people already knew this and were still complaining.

    Idk why people saying "just buy another crankcase and swap the wheel"

    As if buying a spare TF for its wheel is a good justification :/

    "Just paint it"

    And risk paint scratch since it's on the wheel/tire? :/

    I like crosscut but gonna skip thanks to red tires I guess...

    I'm retconning Crosscut into a native of Velocitron, where they all have wild tire colors!

    Hmm… I think I’ll go with him being the son of a velocitronian ambassador to Cybertron who took a young Crosscut with him to live in Cybertron. As it was where he grew up he’d eventually become a legal citizen of the planet eventually getting into Iaconic politics. Thanks for the idea!

    me who plans to buy a spare Dragstrip to fix his paint scratch on his head...

    Good idea!


    in my mind, Crosscut is Burnout's brother who serves as a member of the Grand Senate
    also Clampdown is Red Alert's brother for a little extra
    I suppose I should write all this down

    I mean, that's fine and all but it should not be a norm to just "fix" a color that the maker itself can't get it right.

    Hmm… I’ve never liked Clampdown. To me, if I ever got to write a story for transformers, would probably end up as random cannon fodder for fans to go “hey I know that guy!” lol.

    I don't know who Clampdown is, haha! He's basically a background character of the cybertron police force (name is a work in progress) who's essentially Chromedome's campaign partner for the rank of Chief of Police
    he gets crippled almost as soon as he appears
    and my whole inspiration with this is because I was listening to Hamilton and I thought "hey, that'd be cool!"

    I continue to be amazed by just how much people love to complain. It\'s one thing to not like the red wheels I get it, but people in here are straight up acting like red wheels are going to cause the apocalypse or something. 

    Anyway, accuracy and haters be damned I freaking love the red wheels.
