    I’m trying to figure out how it transforms. Right now I can figure out how the chest transforms. Plus I haven’t figured out how to remove the glasses. It’s a really solid and thin piece of plastic. So either I’m really careful or I don’t remove at all. And finally they didn’t ship me the gun. However, I can live without it until I get the studio series one.

    The glasses don’t come off, they’re glued in place

    I'm pretty sure the glasses are glued in.

    I would have made good jokes if they were.

    For instance, Ironhide and Sideswipe playing "Keep Away".

    Don't know if I should take a risk and try to remove the glasses. All I know is that they are pegged between the eyes.

    They’re glued. So unless you want to risk breakage, don’t.

    This picture has sold on the Terrorcons and especially Battletrap. They look great as a team.

    However I didn't vibe with Nightbird from the first day she was leaked and while I genuinely don't like Chefatron his review didn't help. Visually she is an eyehore with those ugly colors. Obviously the SS version will be much better but with how nice core Airazor, Cheetor and Wheeljack (as a figure) turned out, it's sad that she got kinda shafted. It doesn't seem like a bad action figure but imo she is just lacking.

    I don't think they are meant to be removed.
    You shouldn't try breaking it imo.

    Don't do that, I don't think the glasses are meant to be removed.

    I know I'm in the minority but I think Nightbird looks awesome! She has more of a mecha vibe and that headsculpt is killer.

    Watched the transformation part, it's brilliant ! He's a very well done figure, he's on the list.

    Watched chefatrons review and im happy with what I see. Call me crazy but I'm probably going to repaint this into og wheeljack colors and pass it off as cybertronian wheeljack. Sure it's not perfect but it works well enough for me until they actually make a definitive g1 cybertronian wheeljack.

    Not even joking here, I would watch that. A Megatron review channel where each review he tests the metal using wackier and wackier things
