    Oh I know but it’s such a nice photo it’s worth being big from the get-go!

    I used to have MP-2 years ago, while I'm not big on the "white prime in armour" concept for an MP Magnus, I'm still a fan of standalone white Ultra Magnus. The white deco definitely did look great on that mold. I missed out on MP-7/11, but if MP44 gets a white repaint that would be swell.

    I finally got a hold of Inferno and Grapple thanks to @TFDAD.:)  I love how their backs and ladder/crane arm fold up with all the hinges aligning to fold together. It's really cool how much is different between the two of them. I knew they had some different parts, but it's enough to make them feel like they each have their own transformation.

    I still really love Inferno and Grapple. I think they're amazing. And I'm looking forward to seeing how Hoist and Trailbreaker turn out. They will be similar but different as well.

    I like the toy I got from Big Bad Toy Store.

    I especially like that it allows you to recreate two famous animation errors.

    Someone will bring it up eventually, but did you use the extra elbow joint in the right elbow to allow him to solute closer to his face? The right elbow has an extra joint specifically for the purpose.

    Yeah, I love those Fuso Bros. Did you know they only shared 50% of the parts?

    I'd heard about that, but hadn't remembered the exact amount. Even being aware of it I was still surprised at just how different they were.

    Thanks for the link to the directions.


    In any case, a few days ago, I ordered Star Saber and it should arrive tomorrow. Is there anything I should be careful of?

    Someone called? :D 




    Shockwave's right arm has an extra joint inside the elbow which allows to change the position of the forearm in relation to the elbow. There are three 'clicks' which give three different positions, allowing for a deeper elbow bend.

    Middle position:

    Clicked back (this allows for better saluting):

    Clicked forward:

    Clicked back:

    In the middle:

    Clicked forward (notice how visible the elbow joint is now):

    Allows his hand to basically touch his head:

    Much better:
