Well that'll go nicely with all the muck these toys have got smeared over themselves. Did their parents never teach them to wipe..?

Ok, a brief report.
Here we go!
Flywheels (Skytread) - Looks amazing, very fitting homage. No individual bot modes, but that's ok. A lot of QC issues being reported with one of the hip swivels not moving, including one of mine. Going to try taking it apart and see what can be done.
Hound - Looks good, nice dark green matching the G1 figure. Good selection of addons, shoulder weapon, spare wheel and normal weapon. Simple transformation, quite intuitive. Would recommend.
Sideswipe - Easily my favourite. Looks AWESOME. Another simple transformation but well, he just looks so good. Buy him.

Will be opening the smol bois today. I wish they were the same size as the original Micromasters, but it's going to be OK.

Going to try taking it apart and see what can be do. hips seem fine on mine. My issue was difficulty getting it into tank mode - did you run into trouble there? - which led to me taking a knife to the inside of the leg. It's much happier now! www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/siege-deluxe-skytread.1162368/page-11#post-16296528 |

Some interesting photos from one of the latest Japanese toy mags showing how big the Micromasters and Battlemasters are   |

Will have at it with ye olde knife, when I find it. |

I'm a bit sad that the plastic looks like the stuff used for those blind bag toys. I guess it's a size thing. |

Hmmm. If it is a toy which requires knifing I shall avoid it!

I'm sure we'll see 'clean' repaints at some point. That sounds logical but I don't know where it would happen these days. Through what channel? It's a lot of toys to reissue without them even being proper repaints. |
