Could you check the left-hand side, where the arm panel should click into the socket?
Mine has a minor mold defect, which means it can't click in (the tab is molded backwards, so there's no contrast with the socket rim).

He sure is, and I just can't wait for the Maketoys upgrade I ordered specifically for him to arrive.

As for he mold defect you speak of, I transformed him a half dozen times yesterday and didn't notice any defects. Everything taps into place perfectly. However I'll take another look at him later today.

Could you clarify what tab you speak of a little more. Transforming into what mode are you having the tab problem?

I was also toying with the idea of getting TFC upgrade for him too but I think I like Maketoys upgrade a little better. What do you think?

MakeToys, no doubt. It may be partsforming, but who cares, look at that thing!

As for the defect: the combiner plugs are on a swivel panel, which tab into the tank/chest side. It clicks into place thanks to two tabs slotting into a socket. They both have wedges that allow for the clicking and blocking them from unsticking without pressure. The one on the right of my figure has one of the two wedges pointing inwards, which means it doesn't click into place, or plug in at all, for that matter.

It makes posing better, and it doesn't swivel out easily, but it's a defect.

Still, glad I have the little gem.

Just got a box from Big Bad Toy Store containing Beast Hunters Cyberverse Prowl, Soundwave, Trailcutter, Hardshell, and Hun-Gurr. Only opened Hun-Gurr so far, but he is AWESOME.

If you're talking about these pegs, mine snap in rather snug.

Yeah that's the one. You see how it sticks out on each side of the parallel wedges? Mine doesn't on one side.

Easy fix, make a small grove on it with something sharp, matching the other side and then wedge something between the pillars to create some slight tension and that peg will snap in with the best of them.

Finally found a Beast Hunters Shockwave after going to every target, toys-r-us, and walmart in a 40 mile radius for the last 2 weeks... so worth it, he's glorious

Got these two Powercore Combiners in.

Finally got my hands on MP-16 Frenzy and Buzzsaw. Now my MP Soundwave is complete! Muahahahaha!

Back for Easter my wife put Bot Shots Bumblebee (the flip one) and Shockwave (the jump one) in my Easter basket. They were my first Bot-Shots, but we both liked them a lot so we got some more yesterday on clearance: Optimus Prime w/launcher and the three-pack of Megatron, Nemesis Prime, and Acid Storm.

Over the past week:

-A complete G1 Sunstreaker with all accessories and manual - sliiight bit of scuffing on one of his front edges. He'll be permanently angry. :lol:

-BBTS's very last MP Thundercracker. Graded loose with everything included, I paid about $15 more than their $110 price, but I don't care; I missed him the first time, not happening again.

TRU Commemorative Series Tracks, previously opened, but with everything included and looking fine.

A badly broken G1 Snarl with a perfect head which I will endeavor to swap onto my other one, which just does not clip together.

-RTS Windcharger, at last.
