The shoulders pop off along with the rocket which has to be removed anyways to transform him.

Obviously the :shoulders" can come off. But why bother even making them when they have to be removed for transformation and set aside? That's fine for guns, but a poor design choice for any other augmentation.

I think they were going for a very cartoon accurate look.

Probally just an extra add on to make the set more than just 3 pieces. Same thing with the chisels. They should have done a new Sideswipe head. But the rocket launcher looks so good, Im considering replacing my renderform kit.

I suppose they were trying to make it cartoon accurate. But this is the one aspect I don't really like. Mainly because it unnessasaruily hinders transformation.

But, to be more positive, this looks to be one excellent set. If I didn't already have V's head Id be on board and totally stoked for it, shoulders or no shoulders.

So glad I pre-ordered this, I am more impressed with the actual pics than the renders. I thought the shoulders were all going to be one piece, though? Loving the guns.

I'm pretty pleased with the other kits Beelzeboss has done so far. Looks good, I'll likely bite.

I agree. I've liked everything that Beezleboss has released so far. I'm actually ditching my Renderform kit for this. This set will also save me from waiting on Venksta's Sideswipe kit, whenever he gets around to it.

The headsculpt, guns and launchers all look great. Just not liking these new shoulders though. Hopefully the launchers can be pegged into the holes in the standard shoulders, with some persuasion!

If I didn't have Vastenka's head this would be so bought! I'd have to break it out to see which I like more.

Don't liek the shoulders, but I also question the piledriver hands. I suppose it's kinda neat, but would anyone actually use them as a display piece in place of hands? Hm.

Yes sir I surely would!

I have this paid for over at Kapow! and intend to get Red Alerts head swapped, piledrivers swapped on Sideswipe and shoulders added to both as soon as this set arrives. They will then move to the front of my display taking pride with their shiny new add-ons! :grin:
