    Thank goodness.. I will be picking these up.. my only other suggestion would have been to have outer calve extenders to give him a less "skinny " appearance" this could have been compatible with the other bots using this mold. Perhaps "double tread" .. its more aesthetically pleasing on my transformers to have bulkier calve areas.

    Very happy to see Shockwave Lab coming to the rescue. I think these missile pods could be fun with other figures too. Those 5mm ports could work fantastically with Siege...

    I love the hands that SL made for Leader TLK Megatron, and seeing that there’s a place for these missile pods without separating his components means I’ll be getting them for sure. I almost canceled my PO because of those gaps, the fillers will make me feel much better about keeping it.

    Now if only I could find my floor polish. These three and my Generations Selects Swoop and Ricochet are mighty wiggly. :(

    I think it looks cool, especially the tank part with Roadfire's weapon attatched :)

    You know, some of my favorite 3rd party stuff are things that are additive and not subtractive so this and the Siege Soundwave parts are things I'll absolutely pick up.

    Someone needs to just make an entire new lower half, this kit does nothing for the floppy waist.

    I'm still concerned about splitting the jet and tank pieces without breaking something important, but seeing that the filler pieces can plug to the sides mitigates those concerns.

    Well, maybe now I'll actually pick him up! I always loved his look aside from those dang legs.

    So I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Is the waist floppy in robot mode or is everyone referring to how it won't stay still while transforming?

    The robot mode waist is pretty floppy due to the two halves of the body only being connected by a chain/mushroom peg thing instead of something a bit more solid.

    Hmm. My version doesn't seem to have that problem. Guess that's why I'm confused. Thanks.

    Great, not only do I have to still get Big Powered, but now I have to get this leg filler too. Not that I'm complaining, dispite it sounding like I'm complaining.

    This and the Soundwave fix is they type of stuff I want to start seeing from Shockwave\'s lab. They got my money on this. Hopefully they fired that stupid LED lights guy and somebody told them what people really want in an upgrade.

    oh dangit, to be honest the gaps in Dai's legs were the only thing holding me back from getting the big powered set, here's to hoping i can squeeze this set into my figure budget!!

    Nicely done.  I do wish the missile sculpting got a touch of paint, but that shouldn\'t be hard.
