Hasbro UK don't seem to do much but I'm not sure if that's on them or the UK distributor system in general. Curious to see if it was this bad in the eighties :-?

Or even just as back as the Unicron Trilogy

Wanted to get a Decepticon group shot before these guys all get packed up.

(Although in hindsight I should’ve swapped Starscream and Long Haul so you can actually see Blackout)

Autobot group shot coming soon!

He is a really good mold. I'm really glad Bonecrusher got a new and good mold.

How funny would it be if one of the last components of Devastator ended up being a store exclusive?

I would say my head would explode out of anger, but given the fact that the individual figures have been extremely enjoyable, I think I'd decide to just forget forming the Devastator and just use the Constructicons to fill out Decepticon ranks as currently they're on their own shelf. Well, most of the Constructicons would fill out the ranks. I've been debating whether or not to buy a second Scrapmetal to repurpose as Trench so if this is the darkest timeline and one member is store exclusive, I'd just use the current Scrapmetal as Trench :lol:

TFwiki says about Studio Series Bonecrusher:

"In an undocumented feature, Bonecrusher actually has removable face that actually lifts right off the balljoint connector attached to the torso to simulate his fate in the 2007 film. Care must be taken to gently wiggle and lift the faceplate straight off the balljoint connector and avoid twisting and risking damage to the eye pieces. "

Can anyone with the figrue (carefully) take a photo of that? I'm curious. Thanks.

That looks fun. Thanks. Your SS05 Prime looks cool too with the extra paint and such. The silver outlining of the windows is very cool. I tried to do similar but my hands too shakey.

Thanks! I’ve been using SS-05 as a guinea pig for DOTM Prime, trying to figure out what paint to use when the definitive Prime gets here.

I did also take a bunch of plastic off the shoulders to get the windows to sit closer together (which was successful), but also compromised the arms’ connection to the torso so they don’t hold very securely.

The latest revealed Studio Series figures are already up on Amazon.com.

Movie-verse Optimus Prime knows to go for the head, as seen in many occasions where the fight ends in decapitation or faces getting ripped off or heads exploding. And now, you can recreate one of his first onscreen decapitations with a pretty cool feature on Transformers Studio Series voyager Bonecrusher. Bonecrusher's face is purposefully removable. It lifts right off the balljoint connector. The eyes are still connected to the balljoint connector, so be sure to take some care when removing it so that you don't damage the eye pieces. Thanks to Seibertronians Carnivius Prime and Evasionmodebumblebee, we were made aware of this and got an image to show you since even though the toy has been out for a while, many were not aware of this feature.

Ah cool but no need to credit me. I just got the info off TFWiki but couldn't find images of it and I still don't yet own the figure myself. Thanks to EMB for the quick figure pic though so I could see what it's like. And yeah it's a lil extra feature.

Yeah I did mention that in the first post about it.

It's just still not common knowledge apparently that the figure does that and I had not seen it before and talking to a lot of the people I follow on twitter and instagram and such they weren't aware either even many of them owning the figure. So it's nice to know.

In addition to birthday money I got, I also won £30 on lottery last night. Maybe I should use some and finally get Boney. :michaelbay:
