Understatement of the year. Does Emgo have a vid up yet?

Nope, and it was because he dreads the transformation. He already has one up for air Raid

I'm about a third of the way through after about 3 hours. I figure after getting through it the first time and seeing where everything goes, it'll be easier the next time around. I'm not touching the Superion transformation until all 5 arrive.

Same, I am waiting for all 5 to combine. I could combine after 4 since the last one is an arm, but I want to take group shots in robot and alt mode prior to combining, and most likely they will stay combined

I found a video that is helping but it skips some steps. The instruction manual really is terrible.
Honestly though, I am really happy with the figure. It's EXTREMELY solid, has great poseability, and keeps the theme of the team going, continuing to focus on the altmode and realistic colors rather than cartoon accuracy. Some of the joints require a good amount of force to move, they hold poses well afterwards. If it wasn't for the bad directions, this would be a great figure IMHO. I'd like to see more figures done in this style, focusing on alt mode accuracy rather than cartoon accuracy which is often campy.

Apparently there is a slot for batteries in the combined mode head.
It looks like Ag4 batteries, which I think is the Sr626 watch batteries.

Nice. I am still waiting on Chosen Prime to get him in stock, I am waiting to ship Silverbolt until air Raid is in stock too.
Still waiting on preorder #5 though

I think Fireflight has my favorite jet mode the F4 is so beautiful.
Skydive is my favorite robot mode, it's just so solid and dynamic.
Silverbolt is a nightmare to transform, but he is huge!
And the big guy himself is limited in posing, but man does he have a presence!

Are you using any of the light-up functions? I'm still trying to figure out the size batteries to use.
How steady is he combined? Joints are tight? Poseable? I LOVE the look.
Who did you order from? Kind of wondering if mine is coming soon then...

Thanks!
I decided to forgo the lights, I usually leave those out unless it comes with batteries already.
Combined is mostly stable? the Skydive leg is a bit of an issue, as the chest gets in the way of the connection a bit. also, the feet are hard as balls to get attached at all points. But I have no fear of the arms having issues, those shoulder slots are good and tight.
Posing is a bit limited, he can only get maybe 2 clicks of knee bend, but the rest of him can move pretty solidly.
I ended up getting Silverbolt and Air Raid from Chosen Prime, and I got Firefly from Show-Z. Kinda wish I had used them for all the releases, I saved $40 alone on Firefly through them.
