They've been out of stock for ages. Interesting. I think though with these that the track piece widths are Omega sized ones and not the same width as the ramp pieces that the deluxe bases have? So they won't actually expand the 'base' with roads, just make Omega's track bigger. The picture above is also misleading because it shows two sets. The £45 set essentially has ten squares and eight 45 degree angles. There's two sets in the picture stuck together. the track pieces supplied are this size:  |

Warm up for doing the Prime trailer: A couple of shoulder launchers for Wheeljack. 1. The parts come on sprues. Cut and trim.  2. Rather awkwardly without any instructions at all work out what goes where (each launcher comes with a left and right shoulder mount because it's easier to put both on the same sprue, so it took a while to work out there was a spare piece).  3. Push all pieces together. These aren't 3D printed, they're injection moulded so they fit very snugly together without any issues. Not going to come apart. The peg is actually on a hinge, so the launchers can be rotated up when attached to Wheeljack.  4. End result is a more heavily armoured G1 style Wheeljack. I'm tempted now to get the other kit that gives him bigger wings. Big improvement for the figure.   |

Nonnef Earthrise Prime Trailer Upgrade Kit Before & After PicturesTook an hour or so to assemble all of this - the biggest part is building Roller from all the bits. It's an amazing kit - really improves what is a terribly cheap looking trailer. I'm quite happy with the trailer now, although I think I'll get the toyhax labels to give it a finishing touch. It's only when you put it next to the original that you realise it's still nothing compared to that. So: 1. The Parts  2. Roller complete - just a case of pushing the parts together  3. Assembling Roller's fuel cable  4. Roller compared to the G1 original  5. Repair bay arm before & after, again just push on.  6. Repair bay before & after, blue pieces peg into 5mm holes.  7. Ramp before & after  8. Trailer before & after. Loosen the screws holding the wheels on and fit in the blue rims, re-tighten screws. The swing out support props just slot into a 5mm hole.  9. Adding the rear lights  10. Whole trailer before & after  11. Complete  12. Compared to G1

Last night I found a file online for a G1 Scoponok gun that was upscaled for a titan that I printed off. A few flaws with the print but it still looks awesome.

Fans are obsessed with gaps.
The giant guns look good.

I think the idea with gap fillers is that they don't stop transformation, they just fill waffles and holes, which might be why Prowl didn't get any because there's not a lot you could do in those gaps without messing with the transform.

He's really missing that.
