    Ah I see. I guess I’ve just had images of menasor with loose arms and their bumblebee/cliff jumper not staying together in alt mode burned into my head. I’ve never had one of their products

    Those can just be worse case scenarios if it was a widespread issue the entire thread would be bitching about it

    Menasor is fine, his arms are tight (in a good way) When I was working on the @NOCV Menasor faces shoot, I had to work his arms to get the poses I wanted. The knees can be loose, but can be tightened with a screw. I used Vallejo reducer for his feet and they are really good now.

    Well good to hear I was unfairly biased. Now I’m really looking forward to this prime release. Can’t wait

    This is more like the V1(or MP-10 if you prefer) with some extra steps inspired by MP-44. It still uses truck grill as the abdomen, the headlights and side bumpers still ends up at the back just like V1, and the matrix chamber is still probably still in the bumper section.

    Yep did all those fixes except the feet. They are mounted on pinned hinges, right? How did you apply the reducer?

    With a dropper, just a drop or 2. Gently move the joint to get the fluid in between the moving parts. You can whipe the excess fluid with a piece of paper/q-tip. Leave the figure for 24hrs. Repeat the process if necessary.

    Thanks! I'll try it. Now I'm thinking about doing the same thing to fix the DNA slippers for Titans Return Fort Max.

    Oh? You can see parts of the bumper peeking out of the backpack just like v1. The side of the truck, except for the door, still forms his forearms, just like v1, you can even see the truck details are still there. You can still see his hips behind the truck, just like v1. His matrix chamber looks like its made from the bumper, just like v1. Aside from the way the chest windows form, how is he like MP-44?

    That stuff helps tighten loose pin joints? Or loosen them? My V1 has a really loose right elbow and it drives me crazy :D

    Dang that truck mode is looking great. Only thing that I’m concerned about is the transformation but can’t have everything I guess

    Awesome stuff! Thanks for posting. Can't wait for a colored version, but take your time MS, no need to rush, we've got LoJ in the meantime.
    Definetly an upgrade on the truck mode :thumb 

    What are your concerns?
