I hope this thing arrives before Christmas. I got a POL that's building up, but I wanna give myself a present for December.

I missed whether that's just a new helmet or an entirely new head, but it looks less like a faceplate and more like a Hannibal Lecter mask.

My Wings of Uranos set is processing at BBTS. With this, my Superion will be considered 'complete'.

Although it's times like this I appreciate the old Crossfire set a bit more...

Personally, I shall be waiting. My POL isn't big enough. Patience can be a virtue.

Ah i knew i had seen one , thanks .

I'm not too keen on the mouth guard being black i know it's the original look but it makes the head look off or the head makes the plate look wrong or it might just be the pictures.

Anyway kapow needs to hurry up and stock these it's been on pre order far to long .

Well, got the upgrade kit. it's... not too easy figuring out where everything goes or how it hooks together since it didn't come with instructions!!!!!! :-x

I said the same thing, but the internet is my friend, and I found a video.

Short answer for the waist-plate was to rotate the waist 180 degrees.

For the gun, use one of the yellow posts that come, I think, with the foot-bots, and it forms the handle of the gun.

Other than that, I think all the parts were pretty obvious.

Can you please link that youtube video ? I want to learn it all in advance before I ship my POL. Thanks.

Yeah. I got everything figured out, finally. Still not too cool IMHO. I've got the big black gun using the original gun's handle and the original gun pegged into the left arm using one of the wing holes.

You mean like that? Just take the code that comes after v= in the YouTube URL and then use the Youtube button or tags (youtube and /youtube with brackets around them.)

Can you tell I teach for a living?

I can tell, and thank you for that.

Thanks. Much appreciated. And this guy is my new favorite reviewer. I love the NY hip hop vibe he put out with Blaster in the backround and old school jams. A serious improvement over the usual "The Touch" or some corny skit. I would so hang out with that guy...

so I figured a way that stores all parts including wings, guns, missiles, and silverbolt's landing gear/little chest wings in combined mode with the wings of uranos set while keeping and possibly even improving appearance.

1: original big nosecone gun storage (if you want the one gun look like me)

convert the nosecone gun to gun mode but leave the cannon barrel collapsed to shorten. Use the two gattling gun protrusions as impromptu hooks to hook the whole thing to the panels on urano's back so that the barrel is pointing down and the cockpit touches his back- it helps to spread the "hooks" out a bit and push in the blackbird engines. you can fiddle with it to center it. It's more solid of a hold than you think.

from the front, when centered, it is not too noticeable if it bothers you to have that nosecone sticking up but it is interesting to note that it kinda gives him the look of the four limb aerialbots with the nosecone sticking up on their backs....

2: silverbolt's original chest wings/landing gear can be placed in the holes that are on silverbolt's arms and positioned as you wish. how I have them here, though, seems to improve the look of urano's chest by bulking/shaping it up

DSCN2868.JPG

3: the new big gun can be held in urano's hand or mounted on his arm. if you want it on his arm like me you do not have to remove fireflight's wing. just mount fireflight's missiles on the big gun and fireflight's other wing or wherever, the point is you can use the peg holes on fireflight's wing to mount the gun just fine

4:finally if you prefer to leave slingshot's landing gear on his wings like me then you can mount the new little missiles on urano's hands for a cool effect and permanent storage. the individual bot guns can all mount in various left over ports on each limb

p.s. just found where to put the extra gun handle if you have the new big gun stored on his arm and the old big nosecone gun stored on his back. pegs right on to that mysterious peg on the top of the new big gun.

DSCN2876.JPG

you could also attach it to the handle of the nosecone gun on his back but it looks a little silly to me, this seems more natural IMO.

and this is where you store the old chest plate LOL
