Its a new accessory they made to retroactively fit in the holes along perceptor's back. I wrote an article about what it is:

FedEx man just dropped off MP Tracks. From HLJ to my front door, only five days and 20 hours. Not to shabby.

Decided to pick up RID Minicons Slipstream and Sawback, because I hadn't gotten any of the RID minicons yet and wanted to see what they were like.

I opened Slipstream, not a bad little figure. I then went to "dress" him up and discovered that I was missing his right shoulder flame, looks like it was missing from the packet and I never noticed.

Not that I really care, putting those parts on him make him look stupid.

What did you think of the puppy? I found Sawback to be more fun than expected. The transformation just kinda pops him out and if you wiggle his legs in and out a bit, it kinda makes his head and tail bounce like he's running.

I'm not fond of the armor either. After my first one I havent removed any of the others from the sprues.

You know what? I just got the platinum perceptor and Blaster set and my favourite part are the animal casssettes. These disks seems to transform similarly since they unfold from a common shared shape. I think I will like them. Too bad they probably have less articulation than than the G1 casettes though.

With this haul my birthday is officially over, but the party is just starting! :DANCE:

Let the Middle Age begin!

Three of these Microman figures complete lines I started collecting 14 and 16 years ago. :shock:

And since I am one, I got some oldies, but goodies.

Can't wait to see more at the collect-o-tron.

I utilized a target 25% off cartwheel coupon and got this:

He will probally replace Motormaster on Menosaur, and then MM will be used for .22 target practice.

The Stuntipunks look awesome with Cyclonus. I decided to have Galvatronus on my shelf instead of Menasor. Maybe MM will come out to the archery range next time I go. :lol:

I really hate that mold.

Poor MM never did nuttin to nobody, except make an ineffectual and fiddly torso. I actually like him just fine. He is standing tall and proud on my CW shelf.

I haven't been able to pry Cyclonus from the Lost Light cubby long enough to combine him with anyone other than Tailgate... :oops:

I did the same thing. Cyclonus combined with the Stunticons. Except I didn't even get Motormaster.

I actually prefer the original Universe version of Cyclonus. The CW has a great head scjlpt, but the body looks nothing like the cranky one. Having him as a torso is solely what I purchased him for.

I paid a small fortune to get the Takara version of CW Menasor.... and of course, he's floppy as hell. SO I understand feeling the need to shoot it's head off.

He was picked up in a moment of weekness. I agree the universe one looks closer. I'd love a full set if MTMTE figures that ditch earth modes altogether.

But CW Clyclonus is buddying up just fine with my motley lost light crew.

I guess I am the only guy who like Motormaster then. Fun and simple transformation from a beautiful truck to a great looking robot and a very imposing torso with a terrific headsculpt. While I admit that Silverbolt works better and is more functional, I think Motormaster beats everyone else in terms of how his 3 modes look overall (the other 2 torsos have a very weak vehicle mode).

I've said I like him several times, but his weakest mode is as a torso. I really dig him in bot and truck mode, same thing with OP. Nice big beefy brawlers.

He is the exact opposite of Silverbolt, who's strongest mode is as a torso.

Yeah I think the toys compliment eachother well

And glad to know you like him too!
