The Energon Pub

I just received my City Commander from BBTS today, and he is standing proudly among his fellow Autobots, and currently the centerpiece on my shelf.

I do have a few concerns, though. Forgive me if these have been addressed already.

What is the little rotating panel on the front of his left foot?

Does everyone else's comic-instructions feature the Powered Convoy colors instead of Ultra Magnus?

After handling the armor, my fingers were left feeling almost rubbery, as if something rubbed off of the toy. Any one else experience this? What could it be? Lead paint?!

Has anyone been willing to sacrifice the BFG to modify the trailer to fit Bumblebee?

With the rotating panel, you can put one of the sticker license plates on, so that its visible in trailer mode. Then in armor mode, flip it up and the license plate is hidden. Some people have put license plate stickers on both sides of the panel. So its up to you how you want to use it.

Powered Convoy was used in the comic since there was a cool story idea presented, and the FansProject guys really liked it. The story itself wasn't intended for the actual comic that got made, but thats how it turned out. Hopefully when the Powered Convoy repaint comes out, the comic can feature City Commander/Ultra Magnus in it.

I can't even get the rotating panel to move, honesty. I stuffed the BFG in a drawer. I can appeciate that the "big chunk meant for stability" does something else but it's just too big.
