Here is my look at the entire Combiner Wars Computron set! How did he turn out? Sit back, relax and see for yourself. Note : I will be doing a brief update video as I have since completed a fair amount of customization work on him.

Here is an update to my review where I showcase the custom paint work I did on the Technobots AND how I re-sculpted the faceplate into an actual face. See if I succeeded or not!

Wow, resculpting the face is quite a brave thing to do! Hats off to you man. Looking great!

Thanks. I had a plan. I love Perfect Effect but couldn't justify the cost for a face I would still have to paint and a chest piece I didn't want. So, I said I would try the resculpt and if I totally ruined it then I would have a reason to replace it. Luckily, except for cutting my thumb, it worked out well. I am about to post a comparison when I do my first g1 review, the original computron. I note another tidbit there. People have complained the Brawl and Streetwise mold aren't great legs with the dedicated feet. The issue isn't the molds but the heavy ratchets in the feet. I took out the two screws in the bottom, used sandpaper on the ratchet. Now it is a soft ratchet. It works exactly the same but moves easier from notch to notch. When I put the feet back together I didn't put the screws as tight as possible either, just hand tight. Now they have a soft ratcheted ankle rocker as stable as ever and when I move them neither Lightsteed nor Nosecone remotely come apart. Goes to show, small things and elbow grease makes a world of difference, like Generations Blitzwing, but that is another story for another time,lol.
