What numbers where?

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

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.

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?

I got Shadow Striker today, and I don't have a very high opinion of her.
She's weird, and not in a good way. The only TF I can think of that has worse shoulders is T30 Blitzwing
They're rooted to her back kibble, and not her torso. Similar to Kingdom Rattrap, but they don't work nearly as well.
On top of that, they sit further back than her head.
(Her's aren't engineered even remotely like Blitzwing's, it's just I compare them because I maintain he has the worst shoulders of them all.)
She stays together very solidly in robot, but to get her in vehicle mode, is a pegging nightmare.
On the plus side, she has an interesting transformation, I just wish it worked better.
