Superior Grilled Cheese

Damn I still look good

*delete*

Had myself a good day. Got a chance to reassemble my custom G1 ROTF sideswipe, just got some touching up to do. Found a Dune Runner and finally jumped on the HA bumblebee bandwagon. He is much more impressive than I first thought, but still has his quirks that I want to work out. I already tore his head apart to repaint his bug eyes, but I can't seem to get his chest fixed. Anyone out there have a good mod for those damn spring loaded chest pieces? Also, while I was at walmart, I happen to notice 2 of the target exclusive animated sunstorms and shockwaves sitting on the shelves with a price of $26. When did the 'target exclusive' go away?

:lol

^ never ever saw a single roadbuster ultra magnus, but countless shadow blade megatrons. WTF O.o

that happens to be a corvette. close, but no cigar :tflaugh

i do enjoy it, i was just hoping to save the money for once. his long arms do remind of the the shenlong and nataku gundams

caved on mixmaster, :shrug also got legends prime and jetfire to fiddle with. anyone else try putting these two on knockout or reverb? they fit on almost too well :P

Then how'd you get that avatar when he hasn't arrived yet :tfgrin

Finally got my lot of scouts from china. Took a month too long, but I got all 6 of the first wave and Reverb for less than $6 each. Depthcharge has no head :tfmad. Reverb has some of the tightest joints I've seen, let alone on a scout But Reverb has some exciting news: hasbro fixed the small tab that didn't plug into Knockout's waist. I was very impressed that they bothered doing anything to the mold. This, and the new head molds on upcoming deluxe repaints, leads me to believe hasbro might actually start investing more money into repaints and not give us the crap we've had for the last few years

Skids and his new shooting fist. I enjoy it so much more than that lame punch Skids' Shoosting Fist!

We're always happy to see a good tutorial. :thumb NOOO! that means I have to do work :tfsad I might as well get on that one then Here it is Skids' Shoosting Fist!

I got skids in the mail today. After some tinkering, I "fixed" the lame extend hand out 1/4" gimmick hasbro calls a punch. He now has a rather nice shooting fist gimmick instead :tfevil if anyone's intrigued, I may post a tutorial, but I have no idea how helpful it would be. The idea behind it is very simple, but the execution was sort of frankensteined :shrug

:tflaugh but yes, FP, HURRY THE HELL UP PLEASE!!!

I like how you have him just ready and waiting for that fansprojects set. exactly like me :tflaugh

now for the epic wait! when is that upgrade set going to be released?

everything is going according to plan then

i've been looking for voyager megs around here for a week now at about 9 different stores :emo I have a feeling we're going to be seeing A LOT of the same toys for a few months. CURSE YOU WAVE 1!! settled for ransack, but he makes up the lack of megs

or you could do what I did, buy a new set of figures at TRU, and return them to the store you bought your originals from a week ago :tfevil

so I guess the race is on to have the superion add on kit shipped first? I can't wait to make his combined mode look much better than the crap it is now.

he's out now? :wtf I need look for that one now

That's the first thing I did to him. A little involved, I hate pulling pinned joints, but very much worth it. I actually did it with the arm still assembled. I just took out the screw, super glued the 2 halves, and shaved down the chunk the screw was in and about half of the back of the elbow. No effort required at all So I guess I'd say for me, it was even more worth it :tfevil You should post a tutorial for the rest of us. just posted it in this thread: Starscream's elbow fix

see hasbro, he looks much better with actual elbows!

The chest was pissing me off, I didn't want to break the damn thing by forcing it out. They should've just made a slot at the top of the groove so it can easily come out. It's probably just mine, but the bottom of Prime's right foot (the flap that makes the grill), is it loose for anybody else? I agree completely with the chest....scared the crap out of me when I finally got the first chest panel off. The grill piece isn't loose for me, but snapping the entire front truck assembly (arms and feet) is the biggest pain the ass for me. Took me a good 20 min. to get it all lined up and together
