Got my opaque hands for Shockwave, I decided to only change one hand and leave the barrel since it adds contrast. I also slapped on a smaller sticker on the shoulder and got rid of the bigger one I was using.   |

I received mine too. IMO, they are too much light pink colored. metallic gray would have been better. Colored version of Toyworld Orion (Pax) surfaced today :  Nice and sharped. Wheels are hidden in cabin and legs. Did you noticed front wheels can turn ? ! |

I'm really digging that "Pax" in vehicle mode. It looks like one of those semis you see in Japan or in other parts of Asia. Reminds me of the times when I watched that movie "Black Rain" starring Michael Douglas. There were a lot of trucks that looked like that in Japan at the time.

Yep, I am waiting scale comparison of this one...
Design is really compact, well shaped and dynamic.
Here is a video of 3rd party panels presentation at TFCON :

There is a optional under arm replacement but you lose the LED feature though. I skipped that but did get the optional solid colored hands.

Speaking of Shockwave, MMC is releasing their own version :  This is a different scale : 6.5 inches tall for bot mode |

Yup robot mode looks good and at 6.5" should go with Classics and Generations collectors.

A bit late to the game, but just got my hands on the FWI-3 Jet Power Upgrade Kit for my Movie Buster Prime. Sure all the TF Movie hype had long died out by now, and I was at a point figuring out what TF figures to keep in my display cabinet as space are running tight. I couldn't make up my mind to keep Movie stuff in it or not (at least a select few), though the Buster Prime does look quite nice. So while google around, I came across this 3rd party FWI-3 Kit, which are just add on parts with the focus on accuracy rather than having the entire Jetfire as Prime's backpack. Looks stunning, but still maintain the toy aesthetics without being too stylized. The result is pretty amazing, with the combined figure being stable enough (but your Prime needs to have pretty tight ratchets & ankle ball joints to sustain the added slight back heavy weight, and need to angle the legs certain way to offset the weight). Many of the panels are articulated, so you can move them around as you see fit. Gun grips nice & firm on Prime's hand. The assembly holds on pretty well too, without much articulation restrictions. Now, I can say Buster Prime truly deserves a spot in my cabinet (even when it takes up more space now). For $59.99 plus shipping, this set is well worth it. Plastic quality & paint app is decent (but not top grade), but the construction is quite sturdy on areas that need to be. Hope you guys like it.
