It's riveted in. It's not as easy as unscrewing something. And, with the kind of plastic used on Herc, you'd probably break it completely if you even try to remove the black shovel.

Also, Heavy Labor's chest isn't purple either. If you must, just get a bit of paint and a tiny brush from a hobby store, it shouldn't set you back $10. Although, a little silver paint to Exgraver (and maybe Mad Blender) and you have a much more unifying theme.

People have taken them apart entirely to paint them properly and have successfully put them back together so it can be done. I would do that myself if I had any confidence in color matching and that the paint wouldn't scratch/rub/chip, but my customizing skills are minimal at best. And just the chest isn't good enough...I also want to get that black turd off Herc's shoulder as well as a purdy alt mode. Need that blade green! And if they want to do something creative to the chest side, great...I'd be happy w/ just green, though.

Which isn't to say it'd be IMPOSSIBLE to release a new shovel. But it'd have to come with new arms and at least a part of the legs as well, and it'd probably be greatly overpriced for such a small change and I can't see anyone but TFC actually releasing it because it'd probably have to come with arms and legs already attached.

Yes, I've seen the WIP pics of all the pieces taken apart as well as posts saying they took them apart to paint. And damn do they look good now!

Dr. Wu....
I might get all the variant faces from Wu and glue them to the Metroplex eye, jam a bit of wire coat hanger in it and call it a Quintesson!!!

Come now. Sure, he's really missing a few beats with these first releases, but look at how iGear started out. Hell, look at how TFC started out! Give it time, maybe he'll impress you.
I kinda like his Magnus face (the visor one).
