As I understand it, there are three(?) joints in his waist (sorry, meant that instead of hipsAutobot032 wrote:Arctorro wrote:That's the one.

Also need to be very careful, like with the others, to avoid breaking tabs or his hips.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Autobot032 wrote:Robot with multiplexer kit.

I'm gonna guess the 'multiplexer kit' ios the one with all the guns attached? Probably wrong, admittedly.
His hips?!
tomboland wrote:Diesel has arrived! but i advise caution to everyone reading this. be careful with the tiny tabs that keep the trailer together, one of the tiny tiny ones that end up on the bottom of his combined mode foot snapped off on mine. superglue has fixed it for the moment and the tab seems pretty much insignificant so long as the others are ok, but just be very carefull. Also, am i the only one seeing stress marks on Not-Dragstrip where the connector piece plugs into his chest/vehicle underside for combined mode?

Regarding the tabs in cab mode, with UTMOST respect to Peaugh and his video, I would NOT recommend being so liberal in pulling the cab apart or unfolding the panels as quickly as he did in the video - especially during the first transformation (Note his Diesel was a demo that already has gone through multiple transformations before him so it has loosened up already). Gently un-tab as many tabs as possible along the cab before pulling him apart/unfolding any panels.
Second recommendation when forming Menasor would be to NOT rotate his waist the way Peaugh did (holding the upper torso and lower torso and rotating). Firmly hold the swivel at the joint with both hands instead and carefully rotate to take less weight/stress off of it.
I have a feeling more and more posts are going to pop up with broken tabs and or stress marks. For all of us who already have him we can only recommend you take your time and be gentle the first time around. That's not to say that AFTER he's transformed he's fragile. Once transformed he has good weight and is rock solid for posing and whatnot.
Cheers!

We've had some weather up here lately. It was 12 below zero this morning when I got up. Three of the last four comic book shipments to my favorite comic book store have been delayed due to weather. So, it wouldn't surprise me if there is a day delay in the shipping. (I live like 10-15 miles from BBTS.)
Besides with a few other Late Jan shipments expected, I may wait a week to ship my POL.

I have not tried yet. They are just far enough away to not be convenient on my usual travel. But, I have often thought about this aspect. I quite agree it would be cool to see their place. I don't think they have a traditional store front.
If I do ever go there, I'll post about my experience.

Hi Everyone - Joel here from BBTS. I apologize for the delivery delay of our CA-13 shipment from Fansproject. They were due here today, but the trucking company just called and said they were hung up due to weather and the shipment will now arrive tomorrow. I realize our shipment ran about a week behind some other companies. Moving forward, we are going to use a different freight company bringing the loads out of Asia. I believe that there were a few delays in the initial ocean freight pickup of this load in late December and that is what caused the main portion of this delay. Please be assured that we will process your orders as soon as the stock arrives tomorrow and there will not be any further delays barring something extraordinary happening with the trucking company.
Thanks
Joel Boblit

I have some work to do before I open my Stunticons (they're still sealed), but I'll post back with my thoughts later tonight, once I've had a chance to fiddle. From what I understand, there is A LOT of fiddling to be done.

3 hours? Try 5! I began at midnight my time, and finished a few moments ago, just after 5:00am. Ugh. Most of that is because I was transforming ALL of FP's Stunticons for the first time. For the cars I went from robot to vehicle to limbs, and with Diesel from vehicle to robot to body. But man... that took a long time. Thank goodness I don't have work tomorrow.Autobot Genocide wrote:Arctorro wrote:Nice! Hope you have fun, and 2+ hours of available timemegatronus wrote:Diesel has arrived!!!![]()

2+ hours try 3+
The little black pieces Dragstrip's feet connect to have a little tab coming out. You'll notice also there's a little rivet in each of Dragstrip's hind wheels. The wheels' rivets are meant to align with the little black tab, and shift (just takes a little push) to lock into place. That should more or less solve your floppy hand issue.Autobot Genocide wrote:I don't like how loose/floppy the wrist is on the drag strip arm due to being between two wheels.
