Oh man. Apart from the "skin tight" leg fittings I'm afraid of, this set is amazing! Brilliant!
Thanks to Kyle for setting this us and making our lives just that little bit richer :)
Yippeee...
G1 parts from Demonac after dropping off the OTFC Seacons and Movie Metallic Ratchet to him:
- Missile Launcher of Anti-Aircraft Base
- Air Raid's gun (slightly broken)
I got Animated Lugnut last night on special at Kmart... so glad I got that toy on sale as it's just a big epic fail, especially the weapon gimmick. I cut my thumb open trying to open it (didn't succeed). Some blood and 2 band aids later... (-_-)
+1 he's the first one that i have been really dissapointed especially in the paint department, here's hoping for a leader class :DQuote:

Tober: Yeah, that worked. Thanks. :)
The instructions shows the weapon in Lugnut's hands but it doesn't say that you have to keep it there to activate it in the wording. :/
The auto-morph gimmick on mine is also dodgy... one side of the cockpit/nose very easily flops open in plane mode. :(
With Lugnut, I initially was trying to get the two cockpit pieces to grip each other. However, this is the wrong approach. The arms that swing them back into place catch the hidden clip that releases them with the automorph. I found that by applying pressure here, I get the gratifying click and the cockpit holds togetherQuote:

EDIT:
Also, just pushing harder on the one side that is loose (as shown) seems to also engage the click:

My City Commander turned up today. Thanks again Kyle!

Or perhaps you were just the victim of poor QC. That for me was one of the reasons why Animated was really disappointing me for a while. A few exchanges later, things weren't so bad for certain figures.
Kelvin, I'm so surprised by your small haul. I was expecting something big from you like always and excitedly clicked on the thread to not find anything as big as your usual amazing hauls. But oh well, I'm sure you have something coming. ;)
Scored Universe Blades and Dropshot today....
and the Nice Kmart Man gave me yesterdays sale price :)
STL, what modification thread?
:( I only meant to +1 my opinion that Lugnut rocks. :o I don't think there's a thread for Lugnut. Only for TFAMegatron/Universe Powerglide/TFA BlitzwingQuote:

he must be attempting to pull open the weapon without realising it has to be attached on the hands.Quote:

i prefer Brain....
Got these TFs over the week.
- Henkei seekers thanks to Jay for asking Overdrive for me and thankfully they had 1 TC and a few SW left.
- Roll-out prime from Big W for $40 only, cheapest TF ever for it's size. Not opening yet though cause I think the one I have on Target layby has better paint job and markings, so am gonna swap for that.
- Extra Animated Jazz to open.
- And was lucky enough to pick up Blades and Dropshot before the Kmart sale ended.

Definitely love the Universe's packaging, they are so easy to arrange and layout. Same goes for Animated as well.

Finally got an Alternator Mirage today....
Finally found a Premium Jazz, after so many times i have seen it and saying to myself "ehh.. i get it some other time", and later regretting the missed chance.
Alright... so here's some pics of the CC with the other Universe classics ..
