I always liked Shockwave, Scorponok, Ratbat and Straxus as decepticon leaders, in that order of preference, better than Megatron anyway

Sundor is a grat suggestion, and his colours line up with something else I'm planning, thanks!robotmel wrote:Arctorro wrote:KO MP-16 arrived today.

How about Blasters lil friends Eject/Rewind or Sundor?
Has anyone seen or got shots of the KFC cassette-bots next to the official MP cassette-bots they could post?

How is it, really? Baltmatrix bought one and in his review he said it wasn't the best quality. Especially the materials used in the construction. As though it might break. Same opinion?

I only partially agree with Spada (I think that's his name, right?). Yes, there are parts of him that seem a bit cheapy, but honestly, I've transformed him several times and don't have any stress marks and while I feel/see what he's talking about with some of the bits on it, I've never felt like I was going to break it. For example, the red part on the back he's so concerned about, while seeming pretty weak, isn't really a load bearing component at all. It's just a very loose hinge/joint bit that you rotate to lock his back into his chest using tabs. You don't have to apply any pressure at all to the weak/loose parts he takes issue with so I can't see it breaking unless you're doing things with those parts that you'd have absolutely no reason to do.
As far as the sum of the materials/paint etc. goes, I don't feel like he should have cost as much as he did (these guys must have made a killing on this thing), but I'm still glad that I have him in my collection and even if I'd had a chance to get him in hand and transform him etc. before committing to paying the price that I did for him, I'd still be compelled to get him. I feel like he's exactly what Has/Tak would do if they were to make a Generations Gears, and to me that's worth paying the price for since they haven't done so yet.

Thank you. That was awesome! I sincerely appreciate it.
