Thanks everyone, I've got him sorted now. I'm gonna get one of the waist pieces too since that's always been a design flaw. I loved the concept of the combiners in Energon. There were simply major screw ups in the figures and assembly to make them great. The FP kits are a giant leap toward making them far better. Thanks again, all.

I guess I'll have to get myself one of those filler pieces as well and that head as well, that just looks boss.
Does the head attach easily?

The head is a KO G1 Superion head and it just sits on the normal Silverbolt head. It fits about as well as the Protector's does on Hot Rod's. I don't think it's any bigger than the original G1 Superion helmet. I just plain don't the combined head it came with!

Wow I just now noticed that. It does look top shelf so I gotta get me one too, thanks for posting that Zod!

Wow, looks awesome! How do you do that alternate transformation for the arms? Looks so much more G1, I want to do that with mine.

Thanks for the link to Shapeways, looks pretty awesome. I'm guessing these need painting? Too bad FP didn't include something like this in the kit already, but to be fair it was their first combiner upgrade.

For those of us not talented with painting, which of those color options for the chest fillers do you guys suppose would work with RotF Superion and FP's first set of parts?

It was really easy to do. Here's a side view:


Now the forearm blasters would only fit on the inside of the arms. You can switch the legs to keep them but I chose not to.

I got it in the sturdy white plastic and just stuck it in there. I didn't even paint mine and you see how it looks. I think it looks great as it is!

Cool, thanks for the pics! Easy indeed. I'll probably fold the leg or something so it's not just hanging off the back of the combiner.

I tried a couple of ways of bending and twisting that leg to get it out of the way but I just got fed up and said screw it. It goes against the back of the Bots shelf anyway so it doesn't bother me. I hope you find something better.

I think I'll bite and get myself the CrazyDevy Superion head, the cheap one not the one with the LEDs, since KO Superion is a little too expensive just to buy as a head for my Classics Superion.

Maybe you could just get a vintage G1 head. There are plenty of them on ebay for 5-6$, both in Europe and in the US.

Yea I know, I found them pretty cheap on Transformersland

But the CrazyDevy head does look a little better and a little more modern, so I'll just get that.
