Feel like I'm late on the bandwagon, yet there aren't many posts here?
"At last, my arms are complete again!"
So Blackout's hands are the real highlight of the set. Individually articulated fingers and a rotating wrist is sooooo much better than the stock muppeteer set.
The other stuff is neat, too. Love the color matching!
I prefer practicality of the original's tail rotor being the hand-buzzsaw over the weird (but screen accurate) mini-main-rotor. Plus, I think to store it requires unfolding the entire copter tail in robot mode, so it's easier just keeping it on the arm as it is, although this means Blackout can't use the two guns. Good thing they're universally compatible!
"Here you go, Starscream. You can stop mooching Highbrow's guns."
"Who now?"
Sentinel Prime gets some cool toys, too! Deviates from the stock colors, though I'm not really complaining there.
Damn, what a difference! To think I wasn't even interested in the new swords at first.
And of course…
I gotta say, while I bought this set mostly for Blackout's hands, I think Sentinel got the better set. Copter-Con has one really cool thing and a bunch of amusing extras, while Traitor Prime's are all amazing improvements.
Also, parts I can't use with anything. Meh.

I'm using the shield from this kit but not the rest of the stuff for sentinel, since I've had a 3D printed upgrade kit for a while. It's a nice looking and well-designed shield.

Just got this set and its really nice.
I am having issues with the ankle parts for Bee. Are they supposed to grab into anything? They don't seem to and just fall out

You do have to remove the hands for transformation but theirs a way to store them. I don’t mind personally cuz I don’t transform my Blackout often & I don’t mind Parts Forming.

Yeah, PM me. I'm really only interested in the Blackout stuff.

This set is currently sitting in my POL at BBTS, but I'm waiting to ship it until at least one other DNA Studio Series set drops. The DOTM Optimus Prime kit, which was announced / dated earlier, still hasn't dropped.
RIDRuination
I’ll be getting my set tomorrow so I’ll let people know I guess if no one answers by then
mikeszekely
I'm curious to know, too, because I'm really only interested in this set for the hands and that's a deal breaker.
Shmoptimus Prime
Do you HAVE to remove blackout’s hands for transformation? Cause if so then the shockwave labs hands will stay cause those don’t have to be removed.
Roanstalker
Thanks a lot!
Sentinel
I simply cannot listen to this guy. I watched one of his other videos last night and I’m convinced he’s completely coked out of his mind with how unbelievably fast he talks with absolutely no pauses between sentences. It’s painful.
neevnav
Yup they and all the accessories store really nicely in alt mode. Hand 1 is under the rotor, hand 2 right below.

Does blackout's hands store anywhere?
jamarmiller
LOL sorry, just not a fan of the movies.
Shmoptimus Prime
Bro. He's the first Transformer EVER to appear in live action! Put some respect on his name.

anyone interested in BB and the helicopter guys stuff pM me, willing to sell for a reasonable cost, I only bought this for Primes stuff, I am in Japan though so the international shipping might not be worth the effort ????
Shmoptimus Prime
Some people have this set already WTF! BBTS is so slow. TCP already has it in stock as well as Showz I believe.
