I was hoping someone would do that. Figured it be an old fart like me.

Now to find a way to use them in alt mode.

Since I've had CW Megs, he's never used those hilariously small guns. They've made the rounds with other legend class figures lacking weapons, but I think they have finally found a home.

Note: legend class figures using a leader class figure's weapons - sumptin wrong here Hasbro :-x

I just recently applied the repros to mine.

I'll have to take a peek, but I'm just curious to where.

Curiosity killed the cat and seibertron had the answers.

Like dis?

Sorry IDW fans, that Autobot symbol just looks so very wrong

and I was on board with the idea when I read the comics

Yep! Just like that!

I have the leader as my Autobot Megatron, standing on my Autobot shelf. His TR self has become my Con leader.

The title pretty much says it all. Looks great, but is a pain to keep pegged together. Combine that with some odd design choices and you get a hot mess. I got Spinout on the cheap and he looks good with the other MP bots.

Hangin' with the 3P crew

Head swap cause toon accuracy is the dumb :-P

Poses well, but I've spent all my time pegging the check/neck area back together

Hangin' with the "MP" crew

Hangin' with the soon to be NemSwipe

Ketchup and mustard

"The Hot Mess" hangin' with "The Standard"

I've been fiddling with Shitstreak all morning and I've found a few better ways of doing things. I figure out how to peg the back flap in and it actually appears to go there, I found that while trying to create some friction with the rear tires that fold into his chest. I unpinned the ball joint neck bit and flipped it. Still can barely keep his "neck flaps" pegged in. A few other random bits and pieces need to be permanently glued in. And I need to "deal" with the screws that are holding the tires on. Took apart the shoulders and decided the mod wasn't worth the trouble. I may or may not apply the repro set today - who knows.

Overall not as bad of a figure as some would have you believe, but not really a good figure either. Well maybe "good" but definitely not great. A fun and cheap DIY project for sure.

I've considered turning my Lambro into a Rambro several times. Is it still available?

I have a couple black triangles (21A) that I cannot figure out where they go. Cobotron suggested maybe they are for the headlights?

I also skipped the front bumper stickers, I like em yellow.

I'll take pics of bot mode when I get home.

Still don't know why they used screws on the front wheels instead of pins.

OR, you can buy him and contact the person that sold you the original MP Sideswipe and see if they'll buy it back for the same price they sold it to you in the first place.

Just sayin'.

:POPCORN:

Thanks fellers!

Well it is a dumb idea, but I haven't had any problems yet. Also the screws are from the inside, what you see on the center of the wheels is lambo emblem stickers. ;)^

I will say that Spinout is one sexy swath of yellow and black. Eat your heart out Bumblebee :twisted:

Yes, yes. I like your Cornstarch!
It's a very nice Lamb-or-gini Coonscratch!

If only that were a simple set to get one's hands upon. It's the one add-on I really want for my Spikeswipe.

Dr Wu P-21 for anyone not keeping track.

The only place I could find to buy one is Robot Kingdom and I hear their shipping is super high.

So, no comment on my corruption of G2swipe?
