Wow thanks Ags!!! works like a charm hahaha.
Pushing back really did the trick.
Much appreciated that you took your time out to help out my awful transforming skills haha.

Good video. My Bovis is still sitting in my POL but it's always nice to learn these things before Im stumped with the toy in hand. Thanks.

I've also noticed the rear bull hips can be very stubborn in getting back into their tabs when securing them back to their respective legs in robot mode.

Yeah, same here. That one is at least a little more obvious on where the tabs are supposed to go. I could do a video, but I don't have a specific tip on getting them in right. I usually just muscle them into position.

I haven't broken anything yet...

When the prototype was shown,it was mentioned that it will have a light up feature gimmick.

Here's a pic from Peaugh showing the back of the head of Feral Rex. - posted back in October.

Latest release schedule update, from the website:
http://www.mastermind-creations.com/collection.html

Bovis September 15 (released)
Fortis November 15 (delayed, BBTS says December)
Leo Dux March 15, 2014
Talon, Tigris, Felisaber Q2 2014 (this is the same date given for Azalea, Zinnia, Eupatoriom, and Salvia Prominon, their fembots)

Hedging my bets on at least one more delay for either Talon or Tigris.

I'm kicking myself for not pre-ordering all Five when BBTS had there early 20% off sale. I wonder if it's a good idea or not to wait a few months until BBTS gets all Five in stock,then offers a Hundred off sale like they did with Hercules.

At the very least I'm happy that I got in on the 20% off early pre-order sale BBTS had for FP Motormaster.

Tigris hasn't been put up for preorder yet, has he?

I could be wrong, but I believe that the TFC set discount is something they do themselves after releasing all members separately. If that happens with Feral Rex it will most likely be because MMC wants to do it.

Who were the other 2 fembots supposed to be ? I only saw renders for Elita One and Paradon Medic. I did read an Elita One rumor but never saw a render. And the fourth ? Any renders/pics ?

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Wed Dec 11, 2013 10:29 am

I think Eupatorium is supposed to be Elita One, I have no idea who Salvia Prominon is.

Maybe Ariel ? Although how many pink versions of the same mold can they get away with ?

I hope MMC's fembots are a little less flimsy than Perfect Effect's.

If you're looking for the fix for Bovis' right arm... Which is probably also an issue with Fortis, check post #52 here:

No change at MMC's website; they still list a release of Nov 15.

Planet Steel Express appears to list Fortis as in stock. Could be any time for the other retailers, is my guess. I couldn't wait and shipped my POL. I'll wait on Deisel and Fortis for the next shipment.

Cheers!

Be patient. Maybe another week. I don't think anybody is shipping their loot until Motormaster comes in anyways...

Kapow's shipment has been delayed.
TFSource hasn't mentioned anything, but that they'll probably have it this Friday - baring any issues.
BBTS hasn't responded to inquiries, but could have also been affected by what happened to Kapowtoys

For those having difficulty with the knives of Bovis, here's a good "how-to" video by Gutts TF
