Third Party company DNA Design have just update their Facebook account with images of their next upgrade kits: DK-13 for Siege Galaxy Optimus Prime and DK-14 for Siege Ultra Magnus.
Both sets offer you a new battle axe and hammer together with a new pair of longer and more detailed legs for the inner robot (colored to match each figure). Once installed, you get a taller combined mode for your collection display. The DK-13 kit for Galaxy Optimus Prime includes an extra pair of cannon fillers. The new weapons can be stored inside the cannons.
Are these upgrade kits what you were looking for? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

I know right? Is weird

I could swear it was in stock at BBTS as recently as a couple weeks ago, I think? I checked semi-recently while waiting for that clear Core class Prime to drop. The listing's still on their site but doesn't come up when searching for whatever reason.
Did all retailers actually get it in? Bombusbee and baba's site list it as a preorder. I STILL have a preorder at TCP that's never been fulfilled.

I hope when the Nova Prime set comes out they reissue it

It definitely did
Jmaster99
Is it me, or did DK-14S just become impossible to find?

Yeah, I'm not prepared to drop another $60+ on a white repaint of Galaxy Convoy with stubby little cherub wings unless I am sure that there's going to be a worthwhile upgrade for the legs and crow wings.

I assume if they did they’d also make new wings, which is likely taking time to develop. Here’s hoping!

Don't suppose there's any news as to whether they'll re-release the DK-13 set in Nova Prime colors? Actually like the new retool but man the hollow guns are a nuisance. Heck if they added bigger wings that would be a boon too. I also find it amusing the box art has extended legs compared to the chunky boy he comes as stock.

I don’t have Siege Soundwave

I used the folding rifle from the Siege Soundwave mold to form the handle, used various other things at the end to make it look like a scepter or hammer.

“Not bad so far”
“Indeed, let’s see how they handle in Alt mode”

“Ok, alt mode works, now for the real test, full armored mode”

“Oh yeah, this was definitely worth the wait!”
“Indeed, but what about those weapons that came with them?”
“Hmmm…”

Just FINALLY bought Kingdom Ultra Magnus’s DNA upgrade kit (TFSource) so now I just need to find the hammer accessory from Prime Ultra Magnus to go with him since the weapons included are too small

Yes. Only you.

I know there’s the supposed SS86 Commander Class Magnus coming but I still want to try and get the DNA kit for my Kingdom version, plus the hammer from the first Prime Voyager Magnus because the one that comes with the kit is too small

So, has anyone tried out any of these sets on their Tenseg Optimus?
Kudos on feeding Cobra Commander to Mojo!

DNA Design snuck in a reissue when they put out a kit for Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus, and I got in on it.
And holy shit! I can't believed I gone years without getting the kit for Galaxy Optimus Prime.
That extra inch in the knees is a world of difference. And The gap covers also for the canons.. chef's kiss! I don't think my picture really shows how much a massive improvement it is, but I promise you it is!
Absolute recommend! 10/10
