    The "Gobots" recolor? No, I only collected the G1 media guys. I mean, if they really colored like said Gobots, I would have gotten it.

    Apparently Megatron is too heavy for his turret’s Microman mode :oops: 

    “Argh! I’m getting too big for this.” Starscream’s fault, probably.

    Nah, he’s just trying to use it as a seesaw and no one will play with him :p 
    Which is also probably Starscream’s fault.

    G1 Mirage - translucent Black KO

    Wheels could do with being on a bit tighter, and the shoulders/arms are very tight and make it tough to align, floppy spoiler. Still decent for the price, but it's not that sturdy.

    I bought a G1 Mirage, but the waist instantly broke.

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for fixing the waist? Are there any specific nuts, bolts or other hardware that is suggested?

    I found one video of a person fixing it with Lego parts and glue so far, but I thought there may be some better options.

    The KO from ten years ago has a decent waist, I'm not sure if the Gold Box Classic fixed it or not.

    My first G1 seeker.

    And my only. I don't need a whole seeker squadron. It's just nice to have one and I like that he's fully painted. For a toy almost 40 years old I'm impressed.
