Here are a few pics. Here is how the gun should sit inside the hand notch. Here are a couple shots of getting the legs positioned so that the feet are flat.

Hey Thanks Coldiron. I didn't try to move the feet parts that much once they were plugged in. I'll give it a try. Gold

Thanks for the tip, I should of known that the indentation inside the fist was made for a better fitting gun. I just didn't know that the handle was folded up. Now it fits like a charm. Here are my contributions, and BTW, thanks Coldiron for doing this. Now my Superion is complete. I just wish that Hasbro did a better job with the Superion itself. Mines is just too Floppy, or maybe because I am used to having tight joint from the Takara versions. Here is where he will reside until I get a bigger place with more shelf space.

Thanks for sharing guys. All have been shipped but one, and I am just waiting to hear back from Fate.
Keep sharing pics, if you like and if you are happy with your order please feel free to leave feedback in the feedback forum.
I will keep you all posted if I am going to do another one of these group buys. FP is sort of hard to deal with, so if I do another one, I will likely do the Hot Rod armor (pending how awesome the production shots are). They have not even really announced them to the vendors. I doubt I will touch the City commander armors since those have become fairly plentiful and likely most people who wanted them have them.
I still have two left, so I will likely put one on ebay this week.

Arrived here also. Thanks again coldiron.
On a related note, I checked Target.com, and they list the Superion as "available" at most locations near me. I checked one store tonight, (bad pickins near the weekend of course), and they now have a Target "exclusive" combiner box set of Bruticus Maximus, in very similar colors to the old school one. Has horrendous appendages still also. Any plan on Fansproject putting out an upgrade for this too? I'll have to borrow my brother's Energon Bruticus set to see if any possible parts from the Superion upgrade will work anywhere on it....

I have not heard news of them making a kit for Bruticus. I have also wondered if the Superion kit could be made to work with it. I was looking at pics of it, and its limbs are quite bad, maybe so bad that they might not bother.

I've seen pics of the arm portions and hands attached to the helicopters, but not quite the same way as with Superion. I'm going to try sticking mine on TFCC Nexus Prime tomorrow and see how they look just for fun. If it's worth it I'll take pics.

I have been scoping out other toys in my collection that the kit might fit, but so far no go.

Thanks for the heads up, I picked up Bruty today at my local Target. Pretty excited for Vortex (one of the helicopters), his colors remind me of G1 Highbrow.

That's really cool. Is that all bits from the TF club?

Yep, that's the whole thing. It's a pretty neat set once it's combined, but I do wish they were a bit more consistent in the colors of the individual parts. The story is that (SPOILER) Nexus Maximus is one of the 13 original Primes (despite not sharing the name) and was split up into 5 parts by Primus (end SPOILER) So you'd expect some color consistency, but what can you do?

Bump. I still have the two left. I figured I would give RJ guys another chance to grab them before I list them on ebay.
