I just wished the gloves were available separately, as I don't really care for the flip flops, thong and rings... :-P

So I've got an unfortunate update, TFsource's intial pricing (50 bucks) was wrong. They've since updated it (and popped up on other web stores) for $75. I figured it was too good to be true

My PE-14EX finally arrived...

Found a small flaw though, in that for base mode, the peg that connects the gun to the tower is a bit loose, but it's more on the hole on Grand Max's tower being slightly larger than 5mm. I dunno if it's the same as with PC-14 and Fort Max(i don't have either of them), or if it's mold degredation on the latter's redeco. (awful quick though redeco of a toy released less than a year prior)

That looks good, and as Abominus is the only POTP Gestalt revealed thus far I have any real interest in, I might pick them up. I just hope they're an improvement on the CW versions.

Now that I think about it, I'm kinda bummed that Abom doesn't get the monster feet like the Dinobiner...

ALSO, Perfect Effect isn't the only kid on the block now either. Transform Dreamwave has been putting out some killer stuff lately. Maybe I'll have to ponder :-?

Do we have a thread for their stuff?

Not that I'm aware of. It'd probably be easier to just re-title this thread as "CW/TR/POTP 3P Upgrade Thread". It could encompass PE, DX9, TFDW, ect.

I really like the set, but I was hoping for something much different. I wanted a straight replacement piece for the small Primal figure. The backpack he creates, and the fact that he throws off the color scheme for the Optimal mode (grey cockpit on the chest) has always bugged me.

Also, who do I have to **** to get a Megatron head to make my BM Optimal Megatron already??! :BOOM:

That's more like what Perfect Effect does so just wait for their take on an upgrade kit

Why don't they show him in gorilla mode with Optimus Primal as his backpack? I mean I guess it will still work because it works in robot mode with the front wheel just split and flipped out to the sides but would still be nice to actually see it.

Yeah, I preordered that Primal upgrade kit. The Predaking one looks neat too, but my preferred Predaking is MMC's Feral Rex. I'll get Hasbro's, but I don't know if I like it enough to upgrade...

Is he alright incidentally? I love how he looks but I hear he's a bit wibbly.

Anyway, the Predaking upgrade is awesome, but nothing can make me want to buy that atrocity of a Predaking. The Primal kit looks good too but I'd only be interested in one for the SDCC set, assuming I can get it!

Yeah... he's not terrible stable, but I have yet to handle a 3P combiner that truly is :-?

I like the Predaking upgrades, especially the sword, but I think they missed the boat on the most obvious need that figure has: a thicker waist. I don't think the PotP figure is horrible, but it would be a hell of an improvement if his waist wasn't so damn small. It actually made me look into getting a Feral Rex, but he costs an arm and a leg, so I gotta forget it.
