I've had a couple issues with the little guns. the missiles peg in nicely with the lower slot, but the upper slot won't hold on the fenders, so in robot mode they are mounted by that tab on the roof on his back. The little guns hold fairly well on his arms, but are loose on his roof mounts.
I really wish they would have gone with the 5mm peg or something, or at least done a little bit more refining on the tab and slots they used, I am worried about losing weapons from him in the future
My one of my missile clusters flew off the roof of Leadfoot after I definitely had it on securely. I think instead of using slots in the weapons to secure these they should have used c-joints (not the ball jointed kind, just sculpted into the weapons).

I expanded the width of the sides of his head, angled it a little bit to achieve more of the "V" shape to his head, made his forehead crest a little bigger and the "headband" a little thicker. After I did that, I didn't mind his face sculpt as much so I left it alone, but I would have preferred less "sad" eyes.
This does look better. I think as far as the face goes my biggest issue is them interpreting the angles under the eyes as sharp cheek bones, even extending off the sides. His face (and most cartoon accurate characters) should have more geometrically shaped faces. All too often the designers try to give them more human-like characteristics which just don't look right. Maybe if they went for a Wildman inspired line (which is how I think of the original Generations head sculpt), but not cartoons. Also doesn't help that in the wrong lighting that face looks very skeletal thanks to the sharp cheeks and the black shadow under his nose.
So far I think Legends Headmaster Kup pulled off the face shape the best, though they did sink in his cheeks a bit too much.

Unknown, so far they haven't had an official solicitation from Hasbro.
TFSource is taking orders for the low, low price of $500, but that's almost certainly not coming from an official source. That could indicate that the set isn't getting released in North America, it may be an Asia exclusive or something (haven't had one of those in a while).

Bay-hating is still a thing?
Turns out trukk not monkey is still a thing
To whom? It was dumb 24 years ago, I dont think I ever see anyone say that except for people teasing or mocking other people.
It's mostly still a thing at places like Facebook, 4chan, and (sadly) TFW2005.
And YouTube comments, those can be some of the worst. Then again there's plenty of YouTubers making Transformers videos (and not particularly good ones) that take jabs at Beast Wars as well.
