And that chin has got damn near no clearance to the chest, so there's no "chin up" posing ability

- bit worried about his gun the same way as the BAT 2-pack Kingdom Sideswipe's -> it's red plastic painted grey/gunmetal, with the hand port and the tip left red to avoid paint scratching - but the side bits that allow pegging onto (side of the hips) are painted over, worried if I actually do that then the gun's paint may shear off (unacceptable for his limited venues to acquire a copy)

- damn those lil bitty "forearm spikes" are tiny as hell - wonder how many people will accidentally throw theirs out? make sure u open up that lil paper wrap that's taped to the inner cardboard

- is it weird that I almost kind of like the Botcon2016 face better? it's a Funpub head so of course it looks a bit super-sculpey, but there's something about this new one's head, I dunno - think the eyes might be too long? seems like they stretch back into the sides of the helmet a lil bit more than they should, maybe
This one's got a grin, but Botcon2016 has got the "sleaze" if I could pin it down in a word

No complaints at all about flying chicken mode tho, it's ALL about that ptero-mug

My .com Terrorsaur was quoted to arrive tomorrow, and it actually arrived today! So u might be luckier than that
FINALLY.. after such a long wait.... mine arrived today.

My impression compared to yours.. robot head is a ball joint but it could have used more clearance, so it's got limited range but I can move the head a bit up or down.

The "bird" head could have use a bit more articulation, especially as it just hangs there in the back.

The gun, time will tell for the paint...

The fins, I don't find them that small so no trouble for me (but I might be used to figures with small parts) and I really don't know how someone could miss them (but I know someone did) as you have to flip the holder cardboard to untie him and the little paper thing is just impossible to miss.

I'm good with the face, so that's a non issue.

Mine had the familiar lose balljoints at the feet (already corrected) but the biggest annoyance I have are the very poorly done mushroom pegs for the wings, they barely freaking hold... time to do/find a fix I guess. Such a stupid thing to do.. just a tiny thicker "lip" would have make it a solid snap.. like something as small as 0.2 mm more would have been a huge difference.

"Bird" more looks like a red toaster with wings from under... but hey, it's a fun figure aside that wings issue.

Maybe like, a mm? Turning his head is a question of "which portion of his upper chest do u want his chin resting on"

There's a reason nobody has posed his bot mode flying, he can't look up

True that it's crazy limited, and the worst part is that they glued it on, the head in a two piece that can't be popped off to trim.

I think someone did it, but they must have been lucky that their head separated, or very highly skills.

But in the meanwhile, you can tilt his head up by pushing the dino-head assembly open a bit and rotating the head section back... that's no different than many other figures.
I'd be tempted to take my dremel to it if he wasn't such a hard to get figure.

Haha, credit where it's due, that IS possible

I was gonna say like Siege Megs mold, but that floating neck platform's a different beast altogether

If you mean the floppy head thing due to no support and the part holding in place only by friction, I did a fix on mine...

I glued a small piece of plastic to act like a support/lip that holds the "neck piece" in place but can easily be pushed in as needed for transformation.

Took a few attempts to readjust and get it at the perfect location and the glue did rough up the sides, but it's inside so 100% unnoticeable.

Re: Amazon.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

For those who got Terrorsaur, anyone else missing the arm spikes? They were not attached to the figure and it looks like there is two spots on the cardboard, but no parts or string/plastic that would have attached them.
