Thunderhoof fixed!

I don't want to get down on Hasbro, but in the case of Thunderhoof the difference between it and Takara's is night and day. TAV Hoof makes his RID counterpart look like a prototype.

Whereas Megatronus, I wouldn't say one is superior over another just different. They both have about the same amount of apps, just differently placed.

And these are for you Cobs

Nice shots Shaj!! The difference in Thunderhoof is CRAZY!!

I had Megatronus in my hands today (as I could not find legends CW Shockwave)..I put him back. Sort-of regret it?

You should! He's a lot of fun. Come to think of it, I don't think I've been let down by a TAV/RID figure yet. Maybe Warrior Grimlock. It's a solid friggin line!

I returned the deluxe-sized Gold Armor Grimlock. So freaking floppy. Megatronus and Optimus look cool, maybe I'll end up with them both :-D

Mine was floppy too

One thing I will say though, is Prime isn't perfect. I mean, I love him, but he does have limitations. If he didn't have those odd hands/wrists positioned the way they were, he'd be near perfection.

Hmm..maybe I'll just continue passing them by. Pharcyde style.

I'd recommend megatronus hands down. Pick your flavor and go.

OP is aight, there is a mod to make his hands better. I'd recommend doing that ;)^

that new Warrior Power surge Optimus also has the hand problem fixed. That kibble around his hand has been moved to his shoulder, leaving only a little bit of kibble on his arm. Plus he has a sweet new deco :MAXIMAL:

If you say so, I'll bite. Back to Walmart! :lol:

The local Walmart had the CW deluxe Combaticons, I think every single RiD One-Step, the aforementioned RiD Optimus and Megatronus, CW legends Pipes, Chopshop, Buzzsaw, and CW deluxe Wheeljack and Smokescreen.

Well, I go along with all of your MP recommendations, by default. As I like MPs. Shoulda offered something to Mopar41 for Gundog, Sphinx and Sunsurge..

One of the usual youtubers has a video. Basically you pop off the wheels, unscrew the fender, you'll have to study it and either file or slice some of the plastic off, put it back together less the screw.

This allows the fender/mit to rotate back and down off the fist. I have some pics on my thread I think.

Yeah that PS OP is a small warrior. Really cool looking too. Someone you know may have seen him in person this weekend
