Ok Pascal, here you go, i assume we've all seen the packaging, so we'll skip right to the parts, sorry, some of the pics are blurry

Superion gains a lot of poseability in his legs and feet, looses a bit on the shoulder area if set up the way it says on the box

hands are articulated the same way as alts, index separate and the others together

the feet are articulated to move side to side and the middle bar on the sole of the foot swivels as well as having a support built into the center of the foot so it doesn't either fall open or collapse in on itself

For Silverbolt the bottoms of the feet become booster jets in bot mode and jet mode, and the fists hide inside them as seen in the shot of the him from the back.

Superion's gun mounts in the two rear-most screw holes in the legs and the handle is also transformable to fit in either superion's or silverbolt's hand

For the A-10's there is the sides of the feet that attach on the wings as shown and they both have dual barreled guns with the clear blue removable covers

In jet mode the four foot sides make up a radar dish that is mounted on the dual barreled guns on the front of the jet

For robot mode on the other jets, there is dual small lasers that come off the forearms of superion, the forearm sides get attached to the shins, also makes the small wings look smaller in robot mode which i like

in jet mode the panels stay attached to the shins, and the pistols mount on them

final notes:
Pros:
makes superion much more imposing
added points of articulation
visor for the eyes, improves face vastly
articulated hands
G1 accurate rifle
very clean fitting, clicks together like it was meant to be there
paint apps are very crisp and clean

Cons:
plastic is very thin on the arm panels, could break if handled roughly
if following the instructions, loose shoulder articulation (peaugh's method of combination helps this)
kinda fiddly to get it all on and attached

the pros vastly outweigh the cons, and the was the only reason i bought superion in the first place

overall i wouldn't hesitate to buy this kit, 9/10

Excellent review man, making me want this add-on even more....but debating between this and the G3 trailer at the moment

Thanks, now that's a review! And now I regret cancelling my preorder for the set... ouch!

Good stuff! I just picked up Superion and will be purchasing the add on kit shortly (and yes, the kit's the only reason I got him in the first place)

luckily both came in the same box today :D
both are really nice, my prime is now what i would consider complete or more than complete, without the add on kit, superion is really lame, but even the alternate transformations make him decent

out of both, i couldn't tell you which to choose, the trailer takes more shelf space if that is an issue, ;)

i think tfsource still has them, but automation doesn't and bbts is out for another month i think

woo, those increase my chance to purchase the set. Index Finger, detailed foot and playable part really sold me.

the pics of the feet are both from the same foot, trying to show it's poseability, the set is definitely worth it, i was on the fence for it, but i know from experience not to wait for their stuff, so i got it anyways, glad i did

I have no real regrets buying it also.

BEWARE - IKEA has better instructions.
