Current 3rd parties only survive by the fact that Takara can't afford to make MPs of crowdfiller characters and aren't stupid enough to charge MP prices for toys smaller than deluxes.
Have to give a lecture on motivational counselling and the number of times I have to say motivation makes me sound like Vergil. Maybe I'll pepper in some powers in there while I'm at it.
After the kerfuffle with the inactive Shopee store and a minor hiccup with the website I ordered from, my Magnus shoulder kit finally shipped. Went with Tommyparkstore which seems to be a reputable store and so far, their customer support is great.
Stings a little that it cost twice as much as...
Only real knock I have is the clip that attaches the wing halves together. It stays in place happily most of the time but occasionally randomly disconnects. The clips for the kibble in pants mode are also a bit scary but they seem fine so far.
That’s still more stuff to cram into robots. The Energon Autobots reused their regular legs as their pants modes, as opposed to having to find something to do with super robot legs into the other four modes. Also, if the Energon Autobots are your example of Hasbro input on their aesthetics, then...
It's using the Marvel head from that Shockwave comic version release. I think it's painted normally considering his nose is silver too, just that the eyes are deeply recessed and being shadowed.

Immortal Hulk had Thor pin Hulk to the ground with the hammer on his chest. Hulk just got got up and left the hammer with a chunk of his thorax on the ground. I can’t imagine it’d be very different except that it’d be a much smaller chunk for Unicron to leave behind.
Tried taking out the pins in Magnus’ shoulders to see how feasible the kit would be. Not too bad. Broke the pin punch kit i bought for the purpose but the job got done. Needed my own hammer since the watch hammer was useless and pliers to pull the loose pin out. I suggest removing the torso...
The bison looks like a Steeljaw or Ramhorn retool. Make a new sprue with a new head and weapons and that’s it. You can even retool Ravage into the sabertooth tiger with a new head and weapons and pit it on the same sprue. Package it with a Magnificus retool of Perceptor because Hasbro loves...
