Lots of upgrade kits. But are they awesome..?! :-?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Fri Jul 21, 2017 2:05 pm

Upgrade kits are cool, but they point out flaws or make flaws in figures more evident, or they have flaws themselves!!

Currently, I'm on my third round of tightening joints on G2asor, specifically Motormasters knees (which the back of now face forward.. >:oP

) and the ankle ball joints on the upgrade feet, and the "shoulder" area, the folded up Motormaster arms, at the elbow of the folded arms.

Small pins fell out of the cab section for Mixmaster on the DNA upgrade. The existing elbows of Devastator need crazy thickening. It also would've been nice if Scavenger and Bonecrusher tabbed in to the new shoulder mounts, the joints they used originally for articulation now just counteract the new awesome ratchets.

The heels of Fortress (you may call him Cerebros, not here!!) on his new legs are super loose so he falls backwards when trying to be dynamic.

I don't like the PE hands. At all. As guns, cool. Hands? No.

I'm SUPER EXCITED to install Metro and Max's new hands though. Holy cats are those things solid!! And the thumb works like a thumb!! No more popping off when trying to attach the sword for Max or the guns for Metro!!

I also really like the PE gun for Max. He's gonna look cool. I do like the torso guns too!! Pretty nifty, woulda been nice if they collapsed more though.

Brought Fortress and his transtector along with Galvatron today. They had dialogue.

You look familiar..
Me? No.....

I knew it was you!! I've got you now Doomshot!!
Have me?! What?!...

..you mean you "have" no chance against my fusion cannon!!

As my friend Blaster would say, "No way! Two can play!"

How about we settle this at full size?! Your weapons are no match for me!!
You think this is all I've got?!

You fool!! With only your Master Sword, you are finished!!
.....focus......

Did you not hear me?! I said...!!!
.....focus......
Wait..what're you doing..?!

PROTON CANNON!!!!!
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Dang... my G2asor is pretty good aside from the transformed shoulders. They come unfurled pretty easily.

The shoulders on Devs are universally bad I think. But would you still recommend the kit?

Really? Is it the thinness? Initially I didn't like them either but they grew on me after like... 8 kits later :lol:

That kit is the bomb shizzle! I didn't even get it for the hands, I didn't care. But after installation, DAYUM. Probably gonna get a set for Metro now.

At this rate, I don't think upgrading Metro or Max can not end up in greatness.

I've been meaning to get that PE gun for Max! Hope you dig it and post pics.

PE handcannon FTW

Shaj!!

Shoulders on G2asor are the worst. You rotate the arm? Undone. The only thing worse is the ankles on the PE feet :lol:

and yeah, the hands just aren't beefy like the feet and it makes me sad.

The DNA kit for Devy is really nice. It really is. Just the flaws of the original get amplified which is unfortunate. The head is cool if you have the Hasbro release like me so you can switch back and forth. That and the cab section losing pins wasn't cool..we will see what that does to Mixmaster in robot mode.

And oh my goodness. The hands for Max are AMAZING!!!

Seriously. At this point, I almost think that there should be a law instated that all Max owners MUST get upgrades, or have their Maxes taken away :lol:

It's true - Vanilla Max needs upgrades! I'm glad I at least splurged on that PE Mastersword, but that gun would make him feel more complete.

Heyyyyy.... that's not fair [-(

Cram, love the back and forth up there with Cerebros and Galvatron. :APPLAUSE:

Upgrades are looking nice, I want just the Hands for Max, shame that isn't an option. I may still jump on the DNA Devy kit though. I was going skip the shoulders anyway :DANCE:

I can barely ascertain the gravity of the situation

Looks good, I'm calling that kit a win ;)^

I'll second Cary's sentiment! PREPARE FOR DEVASTATIONNNNNNNNNGH

I gotta admit, I'm not the biggest Predaking fan (no idea why! Maybe cuz my dad would not get them all for me as a kid?), but I may have to get him simply cuz he's a Titan-class combiner.

The kit is a win. Get it while you can!!

Truth!! Devastation all around ;)^

Predaking has me excited. If he ends up being next year's Titan (if that was a factual leak of everything) I'll be thrilled!!

So here's some things!

And then I decided to bring the Autobots to work with their G1 counterparts!

Right in the heart, Sigma. Right. In. The. Heart.

Unless you are referring to Wheelie. He's the worst :lol:

Actually I'm really digging the OG chubster Chase. He's cute. Pull back action right?

You are completely correct!!

Also, I've been having a lot of fun with the Throttlebots lately. I guess it's the tires being old but on the kitchen floor they take off in the direction you face them, then spin out, then take off in a random direction!! Hilarity ensues, especially trying to launch them all at once. I need to do myself a favor and just buy Searchlight since I can't find him.

Oh Sigi, you have to realize, the G1 toys are only terrible now by comparison. When we were kids they were amazing. The best thing ever!

Like Cram said though, except for Wheelie. He will always just be an orange hot dog with a spoon jammed in his forehead. :lol:
