    I got menasor complete and he's good but on the left arm above the elbow ratchet is that arm swivel right? It's kinda loose, any way to tighten it? Is it a ratchet? Can I open it up and use floor polish?

    That would be really neat! I'd definitely pick up a Cy-Kill. Still need to get my hands on that Velocitron Crasher, too.

    How loose are the joints really on Armada Starscream? All the pics are really got me tempted to grab one if I see it on sale.

    I think it is a great design but at least on my copy it's super floppy. All the pinned joints are terrible, but I don't know how wide spread it is. I know some members here on the boards say their copies haven't been that bad. I still say it's worth getting, but I might be biased with this version of Starscream.

    I want to try to find a way to fix the floppiness on my though. What works best, flour polish I think I was told?

    Mine is pretty solid, I think the looseness is a YMMV kinda thing. There some slight looseness in the hips if I pick him up and flop him around, but no problems holding poses.

    Same for mine. I had a first copy that pretty much had spaghetti limbs but replacement I got is more stable if just a little more loose than other new figures..

    Is it possible that the Leader Class EV Optimus Prime is Evolution Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime?

    Anything is technically possible (although I think HOS is pretty unlikely), but I think it's far more likely to be a package refresh and another release of G2 Laser Prime.

    I mean, my first line was literally "Anything is technically possible..." so yes?

    But again, we generally know most of what's coming out from reputable leakers, and we haven't seen anything regarding any HOS releases. Hell, it was such a niche little project, I doubt it's even on Hasbro's radar but you never know. And I'm also using past releases to inform my guess, whereas saying "anything could happen" is pure conjecture.

    (as per earlier posts)
    Mine was like most of the Legacy figures I got, loose as hell out of the box, and yup, a few drops of floor polish and it's fine now.
