I got Shockwave myself, as I way prefer this purple & the pink hands (well, hand & gun lol).

I noticed while transforming him that there's a screw on the back of his head, so when I get home tonight, I'll be attempting to swap the lightpiping in from the Siege version. I wish there was an easy way to swap the chest windshield, but it doesn't look like it would be easy, if possible at all, so I'll unfortunately be skipping that.

Success!

Looking at the sides & inside of the chests with lighted magnifying glasses, and I still can't figure out how to swap the windshields without breaking something, so they'll just have to stay as they are, oh well.

Also, with this repaint, I JUST discovered the flip out fins on the alt mode tower...yeah, I never knew that was part of the transformation, despite it clearly being in THESE instructions, lmfao. AND I didn't know the gun "hand" had swivel articulation, either...I never claimed to be smart, people. 😅

Bbts just put up a preorder for an upgrade kit that adds pieces for Tigerhawk and Silverbolt that fix the problems that both figures have for a decent price. Just a heads up. I ordered them cause they fix the glaring issues I had with both figures. And they look really good.

I don't really want Tigerhawk, and while I didn't have a problem with Silverbolt, the new wings do look way cooler. 😕 

Tigerhawk is fantastic besides a couple of the small things. But this pack, this fixes most of them, the small feet being the biggest one, and the open faced wings being a close second. And the Silverbolt parts are awesome. This is exactly what I wanted when I bought him and saw his shortcomings. These parts are excellent and well worth it imo, as long as they're as good as they look in person. He could be damn near perfect now.

My Tigerhawk reticence didn't have anything to do with any QC issues, but rather the design just doesn't do it for me. I have no nostalgia for the character, so if I don't think any of the modes are all that cool-looking, I don't really have any reason to get it. 😕 

I get that. I loved both of the characters that make up Tigerhawk, and think his run on the show was way too short. Plus I also love both of the animals that make him up, probably why I like the characters so much, and I love the design. I was somewhat disappointed with a few things on this new one but this pack fixes a couple of those. The only other issue I don't like too much is the tan instead of white on some pieces, but it's not the biggest problem I thought. Beast Wars is also one of my all time fave shows, not just TF shows but shows in general. So I'll buy almost anything from it.

Thanks! That does look pretty good. Surprised it doesn’t cost more for all the stuff you get. Usually those upgrades are a little pricier than I prefer.

Yea I was surprised at it too. I don't think I would've bit if it were too much more. But I definitely would've for maybe $5 or so. Not gonna tell bbts that though lol.

Got charged without warning for the GoBots 3pk. Among the many other Hasbro items coming in stock these weeks.

The latest 4pk showed up today including Prime U Cliffjumper (based on Chase), Tarantulas, Squeezeplay, and Tarn. Tarn feels very redundant offering nothing new from the previous version. Squeezeplay feels as dated as most of the Titan Masters figures feel these days. And flimsy. Cliff is cool though. Don’t care about the Beast Wars figure.

Snagged T1 Oppy yday at Target, he's pretty sweet overall; although his shoulder area is a bit gappy and shows too much internal engineering than 'robot', imho.  I read a review of the movie yday that's a bit too gushy for me to believe, but I generally dig Cybertronian altmodes and this one works for me quite a bit.

I'm not sure if this is where it needs to go, but the Knight Rider TF looks cool. Not sure it's worth $50, but I preordered it anyway. It's up on BBTS.
