    Horn/tusk swap. Verdict: the curvy ones looks great on both figures and the straight ones look doofy on both figures.

    Does the cab include new engineering in the legs to allow the feet to swing back in super mode? The picture on the right makes sense, but I don't know what's going with the left's big white panel. Edit: the picture on the left is just bad photoshopping: it looks like a big white panel but it's...

    Exactly. The thighs on mine are also fine. It has been documented here on this message board. Therefore, it is not universal. Incidentally, where has it been said that the thighs are actually tight at all, outside of the wiki? I'm happy to believe it, but I haven't exposed myself to any reviews...

    Absolutely agreed. I will say, however, that the wiki's absolute claim that "the thighs are tight," is still false, because it is not universally true. If it said "some copies have tight thighs," or whatever, that would be okay. Even better is to cite a source. Where did that claim come from...

    Takara Missing Link G1 Series

    I find that the wiki is sometimes overly cautious. The wiki states OP's thigh swivels are "extraordinarily tight." This is not true. I didn't even know the toy had thigh swivels until I read that, so I tried them out, and they're totally fine. Needed to "crack" the joint, but after that, it's...

    And it uses the USS Flagg as a surfboard.

    I've been on a Nemesis kick lately, so... (Should he have the Megatron/Skeletor check armor?)

    The smartest idea: spend no money. I once tried to stop buying Transformers around the time of Cybertron, but now I'm just sad I don't own half of those Mini-Con repaints, lol.

    Yeah, planning finances is a hoot with BBTS. Maybe the preorder will come in and they'll charge it in February, or maybe it'll be March. Or April... I cancelled MP Lift-Ticket at BBTS (still on pre-order) and got it from Entertainment Earth. Same price, but free shipping. Arrived yesterday. The...

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    Question: what sites do you typically use for preorders? Many years ago, I used robotkingdom or HLJ. I used TF Source for a long while. I used to use Pulse all the time, but so often now, the perorders sell out too quickly for me. I've been using BBTS for the past few years, but I'm getting a...

    I know this isn't going to change anyone's opinion, but the ladder is designed to attach like this: I think it looks a little cleaner this way.

    Does anyone know if Swapticons Alligator Megatron's robot mode is referencing anything? The lower legs could be a design nod to the BW figure, but nothing else lines up.

    Combiners: Unified colors or Rainbow Warriors? Lets discuss!

    Wow, I forgot how crazy those Seacon remolds were.

    Combiners: Unified colors or Rainbow Warriors? Lets discuss!

    What does that mean? The pieces are out there We've used those molds a couple of times He won't be dinosaurs Huh? The "pieces" or "molds" are dinosaurs (Dinoking/Volcanicus), so if he's not dinosaurs... the pieces... aren't out there... what?

    Combiners: Unified colors or Rainbow Warriors? Lets discuss!

    I like both! A mixture of colors emphasizes that it's a big robot made of smaller robots. But also, sometimes color coordination in fun. I really like Victorion with her rust and oxidization scheme. Outside of traditional combiners, I enjoy the occasional Mini-Con color-matched to a bigger guy...

    I would die for a set of Nemesis-colored Wildking beasts.
