Some exciting new 3rd party news courtesy of our sponsors. We now have preorders for the next two Unofficial Stunticon figures, CA-11 Last Chance and CA-12 Down Force (aka Dead End and Dragstrip). Not only do we get some nice, new images for these two but they are scheduled for release in June and July respectively. Also shown for the first time from Fansproject’s unofficial Stunticons is our first clear look at their version of MotorMaster in vehicle and robot mode courtesy of Fansproject’s website. No preorder is listed for this version of Motor Master, labeled as Crossfire 03-M3, but he is estimated for a September release
Lastly, along with the new preorders for CA-11 and CA-12 are preorders for Maketoy’s Chaos Paladin figure. Which is the long awaited 3rd party The Fallen figure.
You can lock in your preorders for these figures below:
CA-11 Last Chance – BBTS – TFsource

I've been moving my collection into a few Blaliden displays over the last week or so. Last night I moved both Intimidators. I have to say, the G2 version sucks. Every joint is loose, the cars barely stay on the legs. Since its so loose, he barely stands on the glass shelves as they failed to add the non-slip strips on the feet this time. I've had to wedge him in between other bots to make him stand. It really is a shame after waiting so long to get him.
Below is an old photo from a different display case.

I hope they continue the alternate version for Quantron.

The design it's still way ahead of it's time.
I can also see the legacy commander Motormaster taking some cues and inspiration from it (albeit by simplifying some of it)
Electro Rush
I transformed Diesel into robot mode last night for the first time in maybe 7-8 years, damn thing is still a solidly built figure, albiet kinda fiddly in spots, particularly those shoulders. Need to get a group shot with the other bots transformed alongside the Legacy Stunticons.
Kaynowa
Any chance anyone is willing to sell the full rifle assembly for Diesel/combined mode? It's all I'm missing from my set. Or perhaps someone could point me to some 3d print files for the parts by chance?
Stykthyn
I have the chest and bicep fillers. If you have the dragstrip upgrades in interested. Pm me pics and prices
Kaynowa
I'd be happy to trade mine around though I'll warn it isn't entirely complete. Looks like there's supposed to be a flip out "handle" for the chest gap filler to make the shield a little bigger, and I only have the molded black variants for things like the bicep and the chest fillers
Stykthyn
My figures have held up well. Trailer tabs not so much

I broke one of the shoulders on one of my Diesel way back in the day. Not sure if it was the plastic quality or my hamfistedness. And on one of my breakdowns, the tabs that hold the gun in alt mode broke when removing the gun. Those were the only issues I had. FP sent me a new arm to fix diesel, and I was able to glue the tabs back on breakdown and trim them down so it wouldn't happen again.
rendsora
One or two tabs have broke on mine.
ThrustJan
I ve read that some old 3rd parties are suffering age for the plastic quality,have your Diesel and other Stunticons still the same strong plastic?
Stykthyn
Sorry. I had a reply going and the browser closed. The drag strip parts are stupid rare. I've the entire kit minus his bits. I'm hoping one day they get remade
Kaynowa
Did you mean to reply to me? It's blank

So I got this guy second hand the other day but he was missing a few parts because he had that one upgrade kit from a couple TFW users. If anyone here has that kit and would be willing to sell the hardware for drag strip and motormaster, namely DS's headlights and feet, and the wrist joints for Menasor, I'd be happy to take them off their hands. Also the full combined mode gun ensemble, that was missing too for some reason

I hoped so much they would do the release of the final member Petrol, I absolutely adore the color scheme of this set! Maybe I will grab one full set while it´s discounted, I´m still worried about the possible quality issues (mold degradation?). I heard the same about the re-release of the Fansproject Saurus, so I bought the first release with the full weapon set for each member and tight combiner limbs.

If anyone is interested in buying the g1-colorway of this set, I have one in great condition without boxes or manuals, dm me/shoot me a dm on discord if you're interested.

I sanded the heck out of the waist pieces on my G1 version, so they wouldn't "catch" on the sharp edges all around when rotating. And also fiddled around inside too, to make it not so stiff. And lubed it.

Received Petrol from A3U yesterday.
Fretburn
The centre waist hinge was trash on the original release.
I opened it up and removed the part. Waist rotation is so tight that part was never needed.
