Have you tried flipping the panel with the decepticon down when you put him in car mode? I found that helps greatly with clearance.

I read or heard about boiling water but I really don't want to have to mess with that honestly.

The shoulder fix helped me with transforming to car but it still feels like I'm forcing it a little at the end to tab the legs together. Like I'm literally squeezing it all together at the end until it all clicks. Not terribly satisfying.
Cyberpath wrote:@kev777 -- yes, after reading your post. It's the same either way.

Ranged weapons, do so! For melee like swords and whips, you should keep them standalone.
Speaking of Quintus, do any others have ones with loose arm joints on the Master itself?

So here's a quick summary of each figure I got from PotPie and my thoughts on the line overall:
In the end, I'm not 100% satisfied with PotPie as a toyline, while it did give us some good toys, there are a LOT of thing I would have done differently (releasing those cancelled Leader Prima and Megatronus toys for one thing...). I'd say it's my least favourite of the three Prime Wars toylines, but that's mainly because Combiner Wars and Titans Return were so great.

90% agree with you.
Nitpicking on my part
1. Optimus. Hate the hollow shins of Orion and the unpainted fist of the "Optimus" armor. WTF? Rodimus got painted fist and Optimus none?
2. Dinobots. I haven't transformed them yet to Volcanicus. Wish the combiner gimmick was ditched and all of them were kept voyager sized.
3. Elita and S/S feet, too big.
4. Why no Diver/Waverider Primemaster? The 'con PM shells outnumber the Autobots
5. Wished Metalhawk was painted gold. (Inner bot)
6. P/CP Voyager size preferably ( I know he's just the same sized as the original (hence nitpicking )
I'm not sure if BBTS is an option for you, but they have CW Groove for $16.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I don't have Wreck-Gar either, and frankly would probably mainly want him as a repaint base for a budget CW Deluxe Groove because of what CW Deluxe Groove costs on eBay. I swear, part of me is hoping the second of third part of the WFC trilogy turns out to mostly just be Combiner Wars reissues/improvements because of what CW limbs go for on eBay.

I'm in pretty much the same boat. Almost finished up with PotP. I just found the wave 3 PMs this week, so that's nice. Wreck-Gar is still a soft maybe though. I'll see how I feel when I find one.o.supreme wrote:I'm only waiting on Wreck-Gar because he's unavailable, and Predaking's price to go down, then my PotP will be complete.

Pretty much sums up my feelings, and we know it was cut short since Hasbro decided to go from the 18 month/6 wave format to 12 month/4 wave format. Hopefully unreleased concepts will show up later.

There is no evidence to show that POTP was ever meant to be more than a year long. It was not cut short. Hasbro planned this and WFC Seige years in advance, as Warden said in interviews.

An interview stated it was the higher-ups that pushed the debut of Siege forward, cutting into whatever was originally planned, and possibly budgeted, for PotP. The length may have stayed the same, but the content may have been cut.

Q: {Fear or Courage}: Why was Power of the Primes so short compared to the other two parts of the Trilogy? Was this always the plan or did the cutoff take you by surprise?
A: PotP was short because they wanted to move to the new trilogy faster.

Guess we'll never know the full truth though. Imagine the outcry though if the Prime Masters were always designed to only have eight at normal retail

Then what of poor Waverider?
