What numbers where?

Post by Philip Ayres on Sept 12, 2023 7:22:47 GMT
See the photo above. You're looking in the longer slot on the side.
The numbers indicate the shape of the piece: 1 & 4 are identical as are 2 & 3
So you want a 1&2 or 1&3 or 2&4 or 3&4
Beyond the numbers the difference in the pieces is very subtle but 1 & 4 are a mirror of 2 & 3. Look at the raised piece on the "toe" at the front

2 & 3 here. So my two are the same?

Post by Philip Ayres on Sept 12, 2023 11:19:09 GMT
Yes. This is a mismatched pair of 1 & 4 which are identical: Pins and I have this . This is a mismatched pair of 2 & 3 which are identical: TomWe has this This is a matched pair (1 & 2 or 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 or 3 & 4) which are not identical: they are mirror images which complement each other: The difference is very very subtle and may not matter a jot to you. But I've seen it and now it's bugging me

Bombshell here today. I really don't like his head - it's been badly thought out. The head has been a problem on all three Transforming Bombshells and the non Transforming Action Master tfwiki.net/wiki/Bombshell_(G1)#ToysHe probably needs a longer, double jointed Insect Horn to really get round the problem of letting the stinger point straight over his head in robot mode

Ah Bombshell. My first and the best Insecticon. I've always loved this trio, I think the uniform style and colour appeals. But when it comes to G1 Bombshell, massive nostalgia waves.

Post by Shockprowl on Sept 14, 2023 21:45:03 GMT
Same. Except my nostal-wagon was Shrapnel.
The uniform look is compelling, yet they're such different characters with interesting personalities and abilities.
AND MY LEGACY BOMBSHELL IS ON THE WAY!!!!!!!

Yes, yes I will! Or I will die in the attempt.
My only question is, what will Big Phil do with this information?

So we've managed to ascertain that Shockers has a correct pair but everyone else doesn't!
