    3D printed Transformers sound awesome!!

    I’d like an option where we can choose the size of our figures. S, M, and L. S for Studio Series, M for ROTF, and L for MPM. At a slight premium we’d put an end to the people whining about Transformers being too small or not having characters in the right scale... like me :oops:

    I have been late to the party in really getting into movieverse figures. I've got quite a few but haven't connected with them like other TF series figs. But lately I've been enjoying the Studio Series deluxes (the more obscure ones tend to be my favourites Shadow Raider and WW2 Bumblebee) and today I finally added Stinger to my collection. Love this figure. Incredible aesthetic. I've got him configured in bot mode the way I really like him. I'm not sure if it isn't completely accurate to how he should be but this is how he is going to be for me.

    Crowbar owners, would you guys recommend cutting his dreadlocks off?

    I don't recommend cutting them off, but if you want to remove them here's the best way to do it:

    1. Unscrew the two screws on Crowbar's back.

    2. Remove the panel that makes up his upper back. The three dreadlock parts are attached to this panel.

    3. Boil a kettle of water. When the water is boiled pour it into a mug or a small bowl. If you are a younger fan, it's best to get somebody older to help you when dealing with boiling water.

    4. Dunk Crowbar's back panel into the hot water, holding it by the ends of the dreadlocks. You will only need to hold the piece in the hot water for a short time, only ten seconds or so, before the hot water softens the plastic dreadlocks and they will straighten out.
    The plastic isn't melting, so don't worry, the heat is returning it to it's original molded shape.

    5. When the dreadlocks are soft, remove Crowbar's back panel from the water and shake off any hot water.

    6. Pull the dreadlocks out from Crowbar's back. Because they have been softened they will pull out easily without tearing or damaging your toy. When they cool back to room temperature the dreadlocks will harden back to how they felt before you dipped them in hot water.

    7. Dry off Crowbar's back panel and screw it back onto the toy.

    All done! Your Crowbar is now clean shaven.

    I agree with this a lot tbh. It saves you alot of room in your shelf but still if they're gonna charge $20 for a scout class figure I'd hope for a little something more. Idk though these days it just seems like the toys are always changing size tbh. Speaking of the prices and stuff, I still wish that the construticons would've been a little big bigger for the prices we paid for em.

    Oh my God imagine a constructicon set that transformers into Devastator Or maybe the Driller?

    Damn, sounds like you're LT02 had a lot of issues!! Mine was damn near prefect out of the box.

    The only issue I had was his right front fender was really loose, but other than that, mine was perfect.

    Although, I was trying to tighten one of his wheels on his legs and broke the the piece in his hip the screw goes into. So I found a bigger screw screwed it right through the front of the hip, but it's not too noticeable.

    My LT01 gave me more grief. Literally every leg joint was super loose. But nothing a little floor polish couldn't fix.

    But I'd really love an MPM Ironhide!! The new kit from DNA makes it really tempting to buy Ironhide, but I'd rather buy one with the fixes built into it, and also gets the wheel placement on his torso right.

    Oh, also put the LT02 back into robot today and forgot that the 2 smokestacks are relatively too stubborn to tab in most of the time. Before I chopped the tabs off a little it was impossible, lol.
