LOL, did someone say gaybot?  But yeah, even the G1 Road Rage didn't look very feminine...

anyone damaged their MP Starsaber?
I stressed the plastic at the back when trying to flip up the back cover... the manual says flip i didn't even use much strength, but you need to pull the cover out abit only can flip.
No distortion or damage just can see 2 small points turn from dark blue to light blue. Anyway to fix it other than touch up the paint?
Also does the arm joint stiff enough to support the Large Blade & Shield, the upper joint seems softer while lower joint can support but can't do 90deg with the Large Blade.
And the Medium bot seems the head doesn't go 100% up with the minibot, only can go up to 95%, i think the minibot abit too short.
Also is the he in scale with other MPs, the minibot seems much smaller than Spike & Daniel...
For some reason, i want the G1 Starsaber more than MP...

I doubt there's anyway to fix it just be careful otherwise you will risk breaking it off entirely.

Never tried this myself, but from what I've read, the key to getting rid of stress marks is heat.
Some people use a hair dryer to get rid of minor ones.
For more serious marks can try a lighter - but obviously need to keep the flame some distance away from the plastic, or it'll just melt.

I honestly never found the difficulty with it that every one seem to have. It never takes me more than 20 mins or so to mess around with him in-between modes

He's actually nt as bad as people seem to make him out to be.. once u know where everything goes, there shouldnt be a problem only difficulty i had was taking him apart to transform them for photos since seller packed them in combined mode.. after that, everything made sense and transforming him and photoshooting didnt take more than an hour though its worth mentioning that diesel is one of the most complex TF i have ever come across

TFC so far im quite satisfied with Hercules.... probably Defensor wouldnt be too bad.... Ares I have my reserve since MMC is obviously the better one out there.

TFC Uranos is the toy among all my toys... that I curse everytime I combine him or take him apart to mess around.. it has a weird ratchet that doesn't click equally on both sides.. (for some reason) .. It has an either all stance.. like it's either a super wide A-stance or a forced smaller A-stance due to the width of the calves as opposed to the waist.. :/ Yep owning both I would say I prefer comb iner wars superion overall.. HOwever I wish for another 3rd company to make a larger scaled Superion. Maybe Warbotron will attempt it..

Speaking of 3P combiners, I finally bought and assembled MMC Feral Rex last night.  One problem nobody tells you about Feral Rex is it's like dating a really hot model. Now I find it hard to be excited about any other combiners on the market :/ Even Warbotron is clearly inferior to this guy. The quality is just too good.

Yep in terms of plastic quality and overall "nice"-ness.. Feral Rex is my bench mark.. When people ask me how is the plastic quality I will tell them.. Not as good as Feral Rex.. or Nearly as good as..

But thankfully the plastic is so good that you're rarely worried about breaking anything. This post has been edited by omichael: Apr 27 2015, 12:46 PM
