    Got to be honest, my interest in the Ark was pretty low, but then Comrade Thew had to go and suggest an Animated Omega Supreme deco. If Hasbro did that, with a red and blue coloured Mainframe, they'd have my money in embarrassingly short order.

    Waspinator showed up - his balance is a bit odd - I have to bend his knees the wrong way to get him to stand up and his arms were all craxy loose. He's also really titchy - so not the strongest release overall, has a nice head sculpt sure, but he doesn't hold together very well in beast mode and his insect legs really get in the way a whole lot.

    He's a fair bit wobbly without any real feet, but Gentleman Devastator is on his way. Not really sure how to finish it yet, but hopefully I can sort something.

    Also, talking of Queenformers, I feel I should show off this, which hangs over my desk and gives me immense joy. Bought at TFN, natch.

    Happy to have helped. If I was going for BZ now, I’d place the order with Comics. Most of my orders have gone to them but I took advantage of the GNT terms back in May/June.

    I’m still waiting on Bombusbee for an invoice for the balance. That vid showing the step by step transformation was great. Given I’ve bought a number of XTB figures and more in the pipeline it would be awesome if they followed suit with a vid transformation guide like RP.

    My Kingdom Cheetor was like that, yet the other versions (including SP) I've got are absolutely fine. It's why I think 'mold degradation' is a load of nonsense, it's complete factory happenstance. If that was really the case the Tetrajet mold would just be a doctor's note in a box.

    @MyTea Boc Didn't that happen with the 2 packs last year? I think they shipped before that for some folks though.

    Gee thanks :lol 

    Oh no! :eek: 

    Yay! :D 

    Also... that's not his normal hand is it? 0o

    It's a plane that eats transports other planes!

    :lolol  At least you have a plan! And oh no, not the dinosaurs! :eek: 

    Ooh is that an offer to whip up a custom for me? :eek:  That is very generous! I'll (try and remember to) keep that in mind! If I do take you up on it it won't be for a bit though.

    :lol  Nice!

    Lol :lol 

    I love that they made the :D  face his default head.

    My brother and I think he'd be great fun to have in an MCU TV show. Especially if they kept hold of the humour of his character. Maybe in the She-Hulk series?

    I don't have the link but @Grimlockimus posted a pic on his Twitter a while back of someone who was already designing a replacement head and hands for an Animated Omega Supreme mod. I'm not sure if it was for an upgrade kit or just personal use or what.

    That is a cool piece of artwork :cool:

    So if we making Queen as Transformers John Deacon has to be Rung, everybody forgets about him but it all falls apart without him holding it all together.

    How many astrophysicist Autobots are there for Brian May?

    Same here, ordered mine on Tuesday and had nothing beyond the thank you for your order. Someone said in the UK sightings thread that it took 5 days for them to despatch an item. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and wait 10 days to see if things change.

    I just hope this does not end up going down the same road as the House of Fraser chaos we went through during the Summer.
