Third party group Voodoo Robots has revealed a TFcon Charlotte exclusive figure based on their Animus mold. Revealed on Voodoo Robots Facebook page is a Diaclone homage based on the Onebox Cherry Vanette (what would become Ironhide in a red color for the Transformers line) named Courage Potion. This release is very accurate to the Diaclone release, from the figure itself to the packaging it comes in.
This will see a limited release at TFcon Charlotte this week at the Renderform and Friends booth and will reportedly be priced at $125.
Continue on after the jump to discuss the reveal!

Barrel of gun points to the sky while the butt of the handle goes in.

I tried it but couldn't figure out what orientation to have the silver gun in, in order to get it to tab in there on my Salus.

Okay, I dug up this picture on the voodoo robots Facebook page. I had tried opening this hinged part many times before. This time I was determined and used a very small flat head screw driver to get it up. Even then it was difficult.
It works decently for the silver gun, but not as well for the black gun.

Does anyone have a picture of HOW this gun tabs into the back, on any of the voodoo robots toys?

I love the ratchet version, I did the mod for the hip joint and thigh. I wish their ironhide would come out.

This may be a silly question I've not checked into it yet – but is it possible to simply disable the ratchet in some way like cover it flip it or removed the spring / tooth ? it might be simpler than finding the right sized bolt would be. or even replace the ratchet with something else like a few stacked discs of plastic.

I did the A-stance mod. I'm much happier with this guy now.

I sent you a pm. At least I think I did. I'm not sure, I'm new to this place.

I'm selling a stealth Animus for $90 pm if interested.

Easy fix and totally changes this mold's poseability. Did it on my Salus/Ratchet.
Gotta' say that when my Voodoo Salus is standing next to my MP27 Ironhide I PREFER the Voodoo mold in bot mode. I'll be selling my official soon and filling his spot with Voodoo's Animus…

Did you check out the mod over in the Voodoo Ratchet thread here? 2 12m M2 bolts and some nuts and about 5 minutes of your time gets rid of that A stance ratchet action and turns him into a friction joint. VERY worth your time and takes it from good to amazing.
The new one will be fixed but might be worth looking at for your diaclone version.
