    While I would be sort of bitter to see Fire Convoy get passed over again (he has a base mode, DAMMIT :lol ) I would love to see what Earthrise could do with Black Convoy, especially if he can hang out with Micromasters.

    I would be thrilled with a mainline Thunderclash, especially if he leads to a Generations Selects repaint that turns him into Machine Wars Optimus.

    Great, now I made myself sad that this totally isn't happening.

    So apparently Bombshock, the green tank in the Decepticon Miliatry Patrol has a "design flaw." There are two flat rectangular shaped green posts at the base of the peg that holds his tank turret in place, and they are too high, by about 2 millimeters.

    These two posts are keeping the tank turret stationary and unable to rotate, and unfortunately you are required to rotate the turret 360 degrees to get Bombshock transformed from robot to tank mode. I will be shaving/filing down these pegs to allow the tank turret to rotate correctly. I highly recommend doing this mod, since someone reported seeing severe stress marks while rotating the turret and hitting these two pegs. Good luck to others with this mod, and I hope you will be able to enjoy Bombshock without breaking him.
