    They look good next to Jinbao Megatron.
    MS is now my main concern, they also sell out quicker and I see it as my end collection, they look so good.
    Replacing them will be a hard push, the materials feels better, now MFT astrotrain is a lot better but the rest is tight with ABS.
    Almost everything needed to be lubed up before handling, already broke a Hound and Skywarp before.
    I prefer to handle the MS stuff more without worry of breaking it.

    Start ordering from Terrytfsclub.com. He sent a whole sheet of con rubs with my Scrapper and Mixmaster.

    They’re not toon though.

    I’d like to find some dry rubs that are toon too.

    I ordered the toon waterslides from uncle billy, haven’t got them yet and had no idea they’re a pain with nylon. :(

    You need to use Micro Sol/Set to get it to stick to nylon - just water won't work.

    I got my green trucks today, haven’t transformed them but all the wheels are present and they look great. Can’t wait to see this thing combined.

    PSA: the red piece in Scrapper's chest is friction fit and can pop out. You might want to glue it in.

    That thing is just jumping out on my copy. That's the only QC *issue* I've noticed, but it's not even that bad.

    Yup, same here, it falls out just about any time I fiddle with the figure.

    What kind of glue is safe to use on this type of plastic?

    This happened to me as well. It might be a good idea to glue the chest piece, before it gets lost. I almost lost mine, fortunately I heard something bounding off the floor. Thank God I don't have a carpet :eek: .

    newbie here guys. as I patiently wait for my order of these boys from showz, just wanted to share. ever since I saw the '86 film in theaters as a a kid, always loved Devy. if any bot can make old war veteran Kup sh*t his pants at the SIGHT of him, well that's to me is just absolute the dust on top of the shelf.

    can't wait to get my hands on these guys and PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION in a few months when the full set is released!

    Didn't even notice that it was a separate piece, and then upon reading this I had to use some effort to shift it. Don't think it's a problem.

    I was rather impressed with these when I got them a couple of years ago. Now they seem quaint :)

    I just used super glue. Just a dot in the port, at the bottom. There's a hinge joint at the top you won't want to get glue on.

    Finally got to mess around with these guys after they’ve been sitting for a few days. I was surprised that they were much larger than the stunticons, with somewhat appropriate scaling in alt mode.

    The more complicated MP-ish transformation was a welcome. It’s pretty crazy what can be done in this from factor.

    No QC issues on mine, everything feels good and is tight once you button it up.
