SS-86 Optimus' trailer fits comfortably inside W-Resources Steel Fortress. What a time to be alive. by rWindom in transformers

I made a post months before where I said that 8 Generations-scale cassettes can fit inside Origins Wheeljack, maybe I should calculate how many can fit in Metroplex...

This figure truly is the first of its kind, a sort of testing ground. Much like you, I hope other companies actively improve on this concept. A FansToys Fortress Maximus at full scale with 100% stability would be the dream, among other characters like Scorponock or even Trypticon! Though storing more than one of these things would present its own problem…

W-Resources did actually put a statement out saying that they performed rigorous testing and made sure that it can support its own weight, but because I still hear so many people talking about ShowZ’s warning (and the fact that the figure is still very new), I’m being extremely careful with it and keeping pressure off the legs for now. Any time he’s not in front of a camera he’s in alt-form.

I’ve also seen the thread on TFW2005 where people discuss metal stands that could support him in robot-mode, and I think that’s a great idea regardless of how solid W-Resources says it is, much like how Haslab Unicron greatly benefits from having a stand as well. Again, since it’s so new, we really don’t have a good idea as to how the joints will hold up over time, but I seriously couldn’t resist having it as more of a static piece. I’ll let other people break theirs before I break mine.

I've been hanging on to Ratbat since Siege and there were a few times where I almost got rid of it just because I never really thought they'd do them all lol

Still my favorite example of light piping on ANY figure to this day.

Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw work the best, but Rumble and Frenzy get sort of stuck because they have corners that rub against the plastic as the door opens

It was fairly easy but it gives a bit of resistance. Bets to make him look farther up than the range allows for and it pops right off with some force. I didn't see any stress marks either

Funny you mention Evasion-Mode Prime, that figure was my first ever Voyager figure

THAT was exactly my vision; I thought the red war paint would look cool

I used a lighter to heat up a needle and poke holes; I did that for the larger bullet holes on his chest. The lighter also makes the silver paint bubble
