Swap the green chest pieces around and you can swing them inward to lock his head in place. It works very well.

MenaceRX wrote:Ok I see, you removed and repositioned the chest parts to opposite sides. I like that a little better just because the symbol comes out better that way positioning wise. And it wont hurt the transformation sequence so think thats what I will go with.

I think it looks awful. If it's supposed to be a weathered look, shouldn't it be more even? For the most part, on all my figures, it's localized in like one area. So I have a Laserback with a weathered shoulder, but no where else. Ripclaw has a splotch of weathering on one wing.
To me, it makes them look cheap. On Laserback, since the shoulders are black, it looks like white stress marks. I'm not a fan of the look or idea at all.

I recently bought Skystalker, and I'm pretty let down. I like the Predacons, but the Deluxes really do just stand up into robot mode. Skystalker is not any different. His wing launchers are a total dud, and the big deal about him (I gather) was that his robot head is inside his dragon mouth. It's not really that cool.
To transform him you straighten his legs and spin his front claws around. Done! I know there was a lot of crying around here when people were pointing the stand up transformation patterns out from the early pictures of the Predacons, but it really is true. That's pretty much all they require.

That being said, I can understand the frustration of seeing that repeat with every deluxe Predacon. They each have some small, nifty things to offer (Lazerback's namesake, Ripclaw's tail, Skystalker's wings) but their appeal to me is largely the fact that they look cool. The commanders manage some nifty feats for their small size, and the voyagers seem to be a little more complex than "Stand up beast, fold back beast head". If they're not everybody's cup of tea, I totally get that. I like 'em and that's good enough for me.

Thundertron on the other hand has a more complex transformation, but his lion mode sucks. The front half is a total brick, and it looks like the front legs are coming out of his neck. I can't even tell whats going on with the rear legs, it's like they're too long and on backwards.
