Okay, so I got the Wheeljack 2, and Hoist sets today. Wheeljack's new wing things prove one thing- there's no reason for the original ones to be so undersized and weird. These still form into a good spoiler (would prefer them not be clear. That part's really weird. Especially in car mode) He looks much improved in robot mode with those. The rest however, much more meh. The shoulder cannon really doesn't feel to be an improvement over the original. And it doesn't mount on the vehicle. I could live without the wrenches that don't go anywhere, either. Basically, I'd personally be happier with just the gun and wings, for a cheaper price. Hoist, leaves me feeling much the same. The gap fillers feel superfluous and a waist of plastic and money. I would rather have just the cannon hand replacement, and a new larger set of wings. He looks a loooot better with the new wrist cannon. However it doesn't fit in vehicle, and it doesn't attach anywhere on the truck. So like Wheeljack's shoulder cannon and wrenches, it just gets set aside. If they're worth it depends entirely on how much Wheeljack's wings and Hoist's wrist cannon bothers you.

Very clever but I'd be a bit worried about weakening the shoulder joint because it isn't meant to do that. Do his arms come off that easily?

Elastic band powered Autobot City missile launcher! It just needs to be about three times bigger. They've only done this as 3D printer plans for download, but this is what 3P companies should be doing for us. I'd buy this if I could.

Yup. I would buy it!

That is exactly what this needs. I really hope the UK reseller for his stuff gets this, I'd love a set.

GET IN.
Having that. And it's nice to hear they're getting his other recent releases too. The G Works site is a bit sparse on the recent Nonnef stuff but if they're getting it all in, I'm all over that.

Pity the gap in the white one's mouth would be too small to seat 5mm pegs.

A cat that transforms into roadkill and *still* looks better than Siege Ravage.

Sadly, yes. Ravage has been poorly done to since Classics (the one that -oddly- came with Hound).

Possibly the strangest 3P addon ever... but essential for Llama's devy?

Cool. Now I need to work out what the right colour combination is for G1 toy.

Post by Pinwig on Jun 21, 2020 20:51:03 GMT
Right so in terms of colour combinations we're talking about the colour of Roller, the colour of the support bars that swing out from underneath the trailer on the original Prime and the colour of the consoles inside the trailer. So if you're going for G1 toy accuracy, all three of those are blue, right?
