I'm not sure if this is the time or place, so excuse me if I'm out of line or behind the curve...
My Impactor's knuckle holes can't really hold anything. I vaguely member some talk from when he first arrived, but I don't remember the answers, so if someone could refresh my memory, is this a widespread problem, or did I just get a bad one? And if the latter, is there anything I can do about it?

I have the same problem with all of the weapons except the standard issue hook. If there is a fix I'd love to know as well.

Mine won't hold the hook, though I can sometimes get one of the swords to stay (But it seems like it has to be that one sword rather than the other.
And I'm TERRIBLE at kitbash stuff, so by "something I can do", I'm thinking should I contact funpub or something.
But if they're all like that, I don't care as much, since it won't really effect Wreckage

One easy fix that has worked for similar issues is to paint the 5mm port in his fist with either clear acrylic model paint or nail polish. It'll dry clear and you can keep adding coats until you build the inside up enough. Just give 24 hours between coats.

Acrylic nail polish, or another trick is clear liquid floor wax such as "Future" (I think it's called Pledge FloorCare or something like that now).

BTW, the second installment of TFSS 5.0 is now arriving in mailboxes.
Or well, probably not "in mailboxes" given the size of the box...

I'm just hoping they don't give us one pretender and one wreckage component.

That's actually pretty cool. Gives me time to save up for the final 3 I wanted all in one package, since I had no interest in the others.

Really torn. I have no attachment to the Pretender Shells. The Legends Figures look pretty cool, but the ones I really like are the Minicons. But I am not sure its worth selling the shells without the minicons... >_>

It wouldn't let me leave the pictures so I couldn't see which Facebook it was from. Can you clarify and I will update?

I dunno whose Facebook they were from, I just found them embedded in a post on
The Allspark. Maybe they're from that user's Facebook.
I didn't expect the pics to get news'd.

I had been wondering if Pretenders were coming soon, what with first the Combiners ala year 3 of G1, and then rebranded Headmasters ala year 4 of G1. Not a large scale thing, but nice to see.
It does give me the idea how they could explain away why Transformers would have Pretenders shells...it could be a way to protect them from an overdose of radiation ala Beast Wars.
These make me wonder how much it costs to subscribe, as I like the looks of both.

So I really want to know where they got those shells from did Takara reproduce them for a planned reissue of Grand Maximus and then not release it so the shell mould was going spare ?
Or are they ancient moulds someone found in storage somewhere ?

The monkey shell is just a redeco of Oilmaster's shell that was made wholecloth by Boss Fight Studios for BotCon 2015.
The Grand Max shell... I think was explained somewhere before, but I don't remember. Might have been unearthed when Takara did Encore Fort Max, but obviously wasn't gonna be used for that figure since Fort Max didn't have a Pretender shell.

This is unrelated to what Hasbro is currently doing at retail. Fun Pub took this initiative on their own.

The fiction made for these toys already explained that Optimus and Megatron used these forms to hide themselves on Earth from Thunder Mayhem, with Megatron hiding as a human civilian and Optimus as a city zoo gorilla named "Garry".

Unfortunately, the window for this subscription service ended last summer. These figures are a long time coming.

The colors on Spacewarp and the helm shape remind me of Skyshadow (Blackshadow) from Titans Return. I thought that it may have been the same character but upon further inspection, Spacewarp is a she. The one thing on her card I don't understand is how she can smirk with that battle mask on. (Well ok, maybe we just can't see it.)
