I'm glad you like him, there's a lot to like with him, I'm just forever bugged by his stupid knee detents

Like I said, I VERY rarely use superglue in any areas that I can't take apart first. It's very safe when you take the joint apart and then dab a tiny bit on with a toothpick and let it dry. Plus if you do too much, all you gotta do is sand it a tiny bit with a file. All you gotta do is make sure you're in a good state of mind and then make sure to put a dab of superglue on a paper plate to dip the toothpick in, don't pour it directly on. Only fail I've had so far was when I was tired and cranky and stupidly was tryna glue a headlight back in to something. It pissed me off, yeah, but it was my fault. Toothpick, paper plate, paper towel under the part, you're set. (No pun intended.)

Also I'm curious... does anyone think the head from VW Beetle Bumblebee would fit on the body of Clunker Bumblebee? Even if not, it'd be cool if a company came out with a head like that to fit on him. Clunker Bee is awesome, but his head is very... weird..

So I finally found Bonecrusher. While he is stout, he does feel like a voyager to me, especially in complexity. ALong the lines of Brawl. He does have that terrible plastic though. I am referring to the KO type plastic that easily leaves sprue marks all over the place. I hate that plastic so much, it looks ridiculously cheap.

I do love the transformation though but I wonder if anyone has been able to get a really nice clean and non gappy alt mode. Here is the best I can do:

You're talking about the figure, but I'm interested in the easel in the background.

Its a pretty awesome easel and very affordable too. Got it at IKEA.

UnderYourCloset wrote:He does look amazing. I wasn't expecting a good alt mode anyway. I mean movie Jetfire is kind of traditionally bad in alt mode, but that is one really well-done robot mode!

But he dooeeees have a good alt-mode! It's a gorgeous Blackbird (if you get one that transforms correctly like I did). Easily one of my most fave jet modes in any Transformers line.

That's how mine looks as well. I do love this guy, such a massive improvement over the original.

Jetfire is my soulbot.

I seriously love this Jetfire figure. Right now, he may be my pick for figure of the year.

Certainly one of my faves. I would like third party hands for him though just to have some posable fingers to look like he's holding his axe properly and also for making a fist or pointing at things he can grumble about.

I feel like a pic of jetfire face-palming needs to be used as your profile pic for a bit - as he's one of the few that can manage that pose

Why do you say that? That worries me, because I am so stoked for him, but now I am worried about his plastic quality. His truck isn't gappy, especially when you plug the gun in.

If BB Prime doesn't have good quality, I'll just have to pick up Siege Prime instead.

I've found the original TLK deluxe makes a pretty good body for Shuffler.

he had a bunch of sprue marks that looked like long hairs on him and the kibble parts get in the way of each other, he looks cool but is a mess to pose

I hope this works!



I even cut it down and shrunk it to the profile art size if you so desire!

That's ironhidensh alright

He is the most poseable, like, he has quadruple-jointed wrists, it's the best;

Love it

Just a heads up with SS Cogman, you guys better have a lot of patience with snapping panels into place, because this figure almost made me I had a hell of a time snapping his roof and windshield into place, and his side panels come loose very easily if you put pressure on the roof and windshield to get them into place.

Is that just SS Cogman? Cos I had no issues with the TLK version.

Quick question for those of you who also own a Sideswipe... in his alt mode, do the front wheels roll? On a flat surface mainly. There's that fake wheel that connects the feet, but it's got a nub sticking out that just barely sticks out more than the actual wheels.
