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:

We got final pics for more than a week, when is this getting delivered to all the online toy outlets?

Looks great. Too bad I can't get Red Alert for a reasonable price.

Ah, thanks. I looked up the henkei version instead of the classics and it was going for a fortune. Now I'll have to rethink this.

If you had the Henkei Alert figure, it wouldn't be worth getting the Heroic Duo kit just for his parts - already has a red head and shoulder rocket launcher, but would get the new gun. Also, Alert came out at least a year or more from the Hasbro Generations release of Red Alert, so he's not as in demand.

Good luck bidding!

I think I saw somewhere that the kit matches the red of the hasbro Red Alert better than the other versions, or that could be reversed??? I don't know?

Man.... when is BBTS getting these in stock!!!!???????

Disapointed with Kapow on this one. No message from them regarding the lateness? I had to email them a few weeks ago asking and they said their shipment was being held up in customs.

That was 3 weeks ago.

Now we get peoples video reviews and still no Beelzeboss love? >:oP

Well after another email to Kapow Toys, they came back apologising about their lateness with these add-ons.

Kapow Toys wrote:not good news sadly, we've really been let down on these at the moment and have been waiting an age for them, they read as pending customs inspection on tracking but Parcelforce sadly have no records of the parcel, we've re-ordered them from another company and they are in transit to us at the moment, it does read like a catalogue of errors so far so please accept my apologies, problems like this are rare and as a good will gesture we can offer you 10% off the purchase price if you keep your order with us, there is obviously the option of a full refund if required.

If I can help with anything else please just ask

Kind regards

Andy

So Red Alert looks tons better with the upgrade, but I'm not a major fan of his headsculpt. He has the face of a wee baby

or maybe an Ewok?

It is an awesome kit, really makes them 'Classics'!

Spud guns! :lol:

I used to love a good spud gun when I was a kid!!

You wont be disapointed with this awesome set, it really makes these two Autobots COMPLETE! :grin:

I am really loving a nice new head sculpt from 3rd Party players and Beelzeboss are one of the best in my opinion.
I really could do with a Classics Cliffjumper head so I can make my Minibot molds complete!
