Since the horn snapped off mine on the original I wonder if I can just take the head off mine and swap it out with the new one. I'm not spending $215 twice for a better head.

 

UT designers lurking on these boards and coming across this post be like:

 

4 down, 1 to go.

 

They are combining?

 

bout to make some mini-cons

 

not sure if this is intentional but you can tab the missiles in the side of the arm panels which doesn't look too bad tbh

 

Oh that is neat! Thanks for posting.

 

Transforming this guy has just been an absolute nightmare and nothing fits properly... the instructions are dreadful  

 

I followed just the instructions and went through it like a breeze.  

 

I checked a video, it's much easier if the legs are taken care of first and then the cab. But there are gaps I just can't fill, the smoke stacks just won't plug.

 

Tabbing the bottoms of the cab into the top of the cab would probably help with that.

 

I don't exactly know where it's supposed to tab, but I untabbed most of it, tabbed it back and now it's more or less okay.

I've probably just gone through 10% of the frustration people experienced with toyworld's knight orion.

 

Maybe, this figure is one of those that can be frustrating when done out of order, but becomes smooth and not frustrating when you figure out the right order to do. I think TW stuff is frustrating regardless.

 

Oh, thanks to the video posted up there, I realized the blades can be hidden under the truck. Also the instructions don't even bother showing the fully transformed cab...

Next time to keep my sanity in check I'll just watch youtube videos.

 

I think you did the same thing I did first time. Check his leg sliders - they need to be fully compressed when going into alt mode. If they're not, the bottom of the truck will be held too far from the top and you'll wind up with gaps like that.

 

On the fence with this guy, mostly due to reports of breakage. How common are those issues? Main one I’ve been reading about is his horns breaking.

 

I am on the fence as well…
I like Galvatron and love the Argosy.. how well does he scale with BMB or BA prime in both modes?
Since I prefer vehicle modes it is an issue for me.

 

I picked up this figure the weekend before last at the FanX convention in Salt Lake City from a vendor. He came with a custom paint job. At first I thought it was a statue I wasn’t aware of but they told me it was the Unique Toys figure. It was that good…for the most part. I have a couple of small gripes. But he’s never been transformed and like usually Unique Toys must have wizards in their employment because they’ve succeeded in adapting another film figure rather well. It’s pretty cool. Once I have an opportunity I’ll share some pics.
