    Reviewer's copy has the roof for Scrapper. He said some others who received the first copy are missing the roofs.


    Mixmaster Leg Mode with Toe and no toe options:

    Some of the teeth on Scrapper's shovel can be folded in.

    Reviewer finds Mixmaster's legs too empty, and suggests folding out the combined parts to cover them a little:

    It's pretty cool how Mixmaster's barrel has three different configurations.

    Another thing that the reviewer mentioned is that Scrapper has no waist swivel, only left and right tilt because that's the combined mode ankle tilt.

    Damn, the hollowness continues to bum me out (I hadn't realized Mixmaster had so much). I had hoped to keep a set of these guys in bot-mode, but I'm thinking that they might end up in combined permanently now. Unless I come up with some gap fillers...:ev:

    if this had come out from any other company it would have been dragged to death over how hollow and empty these bots actually are.

    but since it was NA it gets a pass for some reason.

    Where is it getting a pass? We're complaining about it right here, and the reviewers are complaining about it in videos.

    WTF… those bot legs are terrible! especially mixmaster, which are absolutely garbage. :confused:  very disappointed with NA. it's much worse than the back of their Megs. :p 

    the MS pair definitely trumps these two in respect to the transformation engineering and not having such ugly open panels. usually NA puts in a bit more effort in other areas that really shines to make up for some not so good things so that you can overlook them, but for this release i see none of that. :(

    looks like NA has noted the bad response to the hollow feet and are going to offer free upgrade parts in the future…

    ... Mixmaster's legs don't look any more hollow than the G1 toys they are homaging. o_O 

    Are they getting any feedback on more important things like the effed up wheels they put on Long Haul? Will they fix those?

    this set is supposed to be toon, not toy accurate. maybe they'll leave it with this design on the toy version! :lol 

    the wheels on Long Haul… who knows, but i'm guessing they aren't going to solicit feedback for it in set C until it's actually released and there's an outcry like this has on their social media? but here's hoping they do change those big damn ugly things. they really should use the same/similar wheels off of say Scrapper which i think would be more appropriate, or at least give a more consistency in look.

    While the hollow bits are a bit of a bummer since the rest of the NA cons don't really have them I still think these look great.

    Anyone else have an A set from ShowZ that's been stuck at a shipping facility for over a week? Mine haven't moved since the 19th and they are 20 mins from me...

    My tracking from showz didn't update till after it was delivered. Seems to work 50% of the time for me.
