    This sounds like a horrible decision to make. I'm beginning to panic here. Oh gawd, cold sweats!

    Ah, OK, I feel better.

    Nice write up on the ZXB kits!

    I've been eyeing them off, considering them for AUOP.

    Even though they aren't colour-matched to the warm gray tones of the AUOP trailer, do you think they would still look alright?

    The ZXB parts seem to be mostly gray, black and silver, so they fit the dead Optimus colour-scheme in theory.

    I don't want to sleep on these parts, waiting on an alternate colour set that might not even be planned.

    those kits look nice, but the only piece I'd want at this point is the drone gap fillers/radar dish because of how it works (I got the nonnef trailer kit and don't really like his radar dish solution)

    Missile launch base here and Ironworks playability render set amazing!

    Even when I buy Galactic Man,this one will remain in my collection,you never have too many Shockwave's :D  .And true with 3 Slitherfang you can create a beautiful snake,is interesting that they should be alligned with Quintessons in toyline if I remember well.

    Shockwave Lab mace vs ZXB Axe. The post-processing smoothing is better done on the SL piece and has more of a polish to it. Hopefully the SL Jetfire swords will turn out nice too.

    AUOP has the faded beige, which is a bit harder to match. I can try to see later about reinstalling the pieces on that trailer and see how it looks. It's just that i have to unscrew the wheels to uninstall the fenders with the added ports.

    You can ask TFSafari if they plan to get more kits in. They're still sold out.

    Yeah, the gap fillers work well. The radar half does jut backwards a bit, but the trailer is able to barely close around it.

    Zarak has some of the best proportions as far as bot modes go.
    So nicely articulated, too...

    I didn't know Snapdragon was already in Target. First time in ages I've been surprised by a new arrival.

    I finally got my Trailer Upgrade Kit for Earthrise Optimus from Nonnef after it had been lost in the mail for almost a month. Since Roller can accommodate four Titan Masters, I'm gonna dig up my Apex, Diac, Refractor, and Ginrai to ride in him. Shreddicus Maximus and Orion Pax (from the Tribute 2-Pack) can ride in the next Roller I get for AU Optimus.

    Ok, so? People with Scorponok... Is there any reason why you shouldn't separate the base of each set of beast mode legs so they move individually?

    Update: I got impatient waiting for an answer. It works.
