What are the officially endorsed fold outs? I'm tempted to just buy some pink glitter and fill up 1 or 2 cubes with it. I like to have at least 1 or 2 empty cubes though.
Cheers. Sadly, photoshop filters are about the limit of my digital artistic ability. The main issue with the feet has been more that the diecast was biting into the plastic knob of the foot pivot, causing stiff or incomplete transformation. Not sure what the root cause of the problem is but I suspect maybe a poor finish on the inner side of the diecast? Could also be bad assembly practise causing the initial problem, which then degrades further with use.

The fold up energon cube insert that TT released (image on the first page of the thread) doesn't look too bad, in my opinion, provided care is taken in assembling and inserting it. To be honest, many of the photos and videos I've seen have made a bit of a hatchet job of it. Careful cutting and precise folding are all that's required. Here's a pretty good example: link. Looks about the same as the G1 version. Sure, they could have included a 'holographic' effect version in the box, but then everyone would complain because they were afraid to cut up the original sheet! Clear or tinted cube, shiny or print-at-home inserts... they were never going to be able to please everyone.

Interesting about the tech specs, not being able to read Japanese has its disadvantages. Probably too much to hope for some sort of crazy appreciation in value if it gets corrected in any future re-releases!
