Hi all, just recently bought the G2 colors of Bruticus/Combaticons, didn't like some of the bots don't have proper paintjobs as shown in the box, so i made a few touchups to make them look a bit more nicer.

Had to paint Onslaught's entire head to match the original prototype colors. Painted his dual cannons to black, and painted Bruticus' giant skirt. I improve Vortex and Swindle by adding colors to their mouths.

Swindle's feet had been painted. Vortex's blade guns had been painted. Blastoff has minor touchups, basically on the guns and the giant Bruticus hands.

The only figure that didn't need any improvements were Brawl's. He's perfect as he is.

Hope you guys enjoy viewing these images!

Honestly, the quality for this trailerforce xovergen isn't really that great. Joints tend to slide off their limbs, hands can't grip the guns firmly, loose wrist ball joints, the hips ratchet joints are so tight that i'm just afraid of spreading the legs apart as it feels like sooner or later i'm going to break it, the hinge peg for the leg guns are very loose, the pegs for the gauntlets are too short so it tend to fall off quite easily too, instruction manual for the transformation is all in black and white and the images are so small that you barely make it out which is which, ankle joints are a bit loose too. Kinda alright if i don't touch the stupid thing, which is also kinda makes me regrettable in purchasing it since i thought the reviews for these were quite decent but apparently they're not that great.

how much for xovergen? not suprising the quality are horrible. they shouldn't charge so much for crappy products.

Got it for RM 450, yes, i'm not really impressed by their low QC, you can feel that the plastic is quite unlike MakeToys' Green Giant or TFC's Iron Army figures. Everything's so loose and unstable, i only transformed to the trailer once and revert back to the robot mode, coz i just can't take risk on spreading the left hip joint anymore

I read in the other forums that you will have to loosen the screw behind the thighs. I have seen my friend doing that and it became looser and moves better.

You should try that.

As for the plastic quality, I put it same level as FP stuffs. It is really not that bad.

I already tried using the screwdriver to loosen up the screws on the hip joint this morning, but it's still too tight. I believe it's the ratchet inside that's not properly made

so its quality is like KO?

The plastic quality feels...cheaper to what i compared with my MakeToys Green Giant or even the TFC's Iron Army figures.

I hate the tfc limbs connector..the big peg tend to come looser in time...and may result for falling limbs..

maketoys connector feels much2 better and the limbs especially the legs wont feel like wobbling when you pick it up..no tanggling feeling

Mine started to feel a bit woobly on scrapper's giant knee joint after the 3rd transformation, but it's still alright for me

The series was before the 90s and was released on 1988, just 1 year after the end for the US run Transformers series at 1987. And it was still in the G1 era

original series name is called Transformers: Super-God Masterforce

The series include characters from the Pretenders, Junior Headmasters, Powermasters brothers of Dreadwing and Darkwing, brought along with the Seacons/Piranacon

It was first aired in RTM 1 at 10:00 AM on Sundays, and was dubbed in English. I used to watch this and finished the entire season (and the Star Saber series continues from there where Optimus gets killed...again...then turned into the mute Victory Leo)

Last night, i tried fixing my Xovergen's trailerforce hip joints again by unscrewing the screws again. It takes about 3-4 turns of unscrewing to loosen the joints (rather than 2 from the video reviews i had seen in youtube).

Now the trailer can transform without any problems, but now the figure poses another problem. The shoulder/ankle ball joints, everytime you try to move them, you also shave off the shoulder/ankle's plastic, making the ball joints loosen up.
