At first I saw that it was boring grey in the box but Im glad it is, it works well on the final figure. Check out those feet, Superion can stand properly!!!

Looking forward to mine being delivered.

Freakin' awesome! For all the crap and bull$#!t on store shelves right now it's great when a ray of light like this cuts through it all keeping it true for TF...'nuff said! B-)

Man, I'f I had money, I'd go out and buy Superion right now.

I totally caved last night at Target and bought the set. It was the first Transformers purchase I've made since early March. I'm holding onto the receipt though to see what the overall feeling of the add-on kit is. If it's as good as it looks, I'll buy it and keep Superion.

Worst case scenario, it's a general disappointment and I return Superion to Target.

I received mine this morning and it is very cool. Some of the plastic base of feet and around arms is a little thin and bendy, but didn't break on first run through the transformation. Transformation in places is delicate but solid once built. The visor (of which there are two, one for universe version and one for superlinks version) adds a nice finishing touch.

The only slighty bad point is the radar disk. Its built of four sections (that attach either side of feet) but does hold its disk shape well due to way its built, but seeing as i'm displaying on my desk at work in Superion mode thats not a major issue.

Over all very happy with this set and pleased I have dabbled in FansProjects work.

As a side not also received the Powered Commander set and that is uber cool as well...

Well, I gotta dig up my BT upgrade kit from the "whatever bin", but I'm not sure if I should use the lightsaber and insert that into the gunbarrel like the pic or should I go for the gold Starsaber like the one poster did over at TFW...I'm leaning towards the lightsaber(assuming that it fits in the barrel).

I caved and got surperion just yesterday, and while my first impression was that i got rippen off and it was a piece of crap, I have since warmed up to it.

looking at this I gotta say it is SOOOOOO rediculusly tempting. too bad i cant afford it.

does anyone know where the fists go during altmode?
are there any parts that dont have a place to peg in and hider for jet modes?

Tue Jul 14, 2009 11:30 am

Whats the need for the 2 different visors? arent the head molds the same for superlink/energon and the universe/rotf version>

News Credits: 23 · Tue Jul 14, 2009 11:33 am

From what I gather, the fist go in Silverbolts fastpack(feet) in alt mode. So it seems that all pieces have someplace to store in alt, bot, and combined mode.

The fists go inside the fastpacks on Silverbolt. Absolutely everything has a place in jet mode nothing is left on its own!

To be honest with you I thought I'd be ripped off too, the kit more than makes up for it.

No idea they look identical in shape and colour

but that's how the instructions list them. They both fit on Universe Superion.

I'm so temped to put an order in for this bad boy. The only thing holding me back is the now limited shoulder articulation.

I'll never understand why the original toy included such crappy, crappy accessories. The manufacturers didn't need to go to the extent that FansProject did, but just making some damn HANDS would have been nice. Heck, even something that just looked a tiny bit LIKE hands would have been preferable to the sausage-like gun-things he comes with.

No one gets it.

No one has a damn clue why Superion got the 'r-tardedest hands and feet possible.

...or why they can't assemble the Stormjet mold correctly...

...or why they couldn't do a simple remold to make the Stormjet mold form the chest more securely...

but we can sure as hell dull the nosecones in case some kid, somewhere runs around flying his toy airplane so hard that he crashes into another child and the nosecone stabs the other kid to death (NO, I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.)

Superion is finally looking good to me now. I'll have to get this sometime.

Two words I would use to describe this set...

EFFING. AWESOME!

Nice! looking good to me

The more I see this set the more I can't wait for it to arrive at BBTS. Hope they do a set for Devastator and Bruticus.

I notice that the arm appendages hang off the bottom of the Air Razor and air raid.. How are the appendages attached.. Do they attach to the legs? I ask this because the joints on both of their legs in my set are very loose..I highly doubt I would be able to pose the arms up at all.. Just wondering..I really want to get this set but I don't want to waste the money and have floppy superion arms..

They are attached around one of the legs and yes do suffer from being loose but being careful can be posed quite nicely. Just depends on how extreme you want your poses... :?:
