Wait, is waist snapping a thing? This is the first I've heard of it, and I'd like to know what I need to look out for. Mine is the second release, fwiw

I went to separate the super mode top from the trailer, and it took the top of the waist with it. The piece still sits on top, and it twists still, but it's not super secure. I don't remember if it used to ratchet, but it's a loose swivel nowView attachment 30158083

Sorry for a pseudo necro bump, but the dreaded waist snap finally happened on my trailer  

Not the end of the world, but it sucks. I was disassembling super mode to put the trailer in storage.

I think I could superglue it? I'm also just gonna get jetfire anyhow, so the fresh pair of legs would work.

Mine is either a first or second run. I had to get the core bot left leg sheared off right out of the box, and FH replaced it. A few years later, I'm not sure if they would replace this

Any news yet how to order the new SG version?

What timing.

What timing indeed! I'm gonna be bothering FH forever after Jetfire and the Requiem team release for Spacewarp.

I like how they just called him purple naval commander instead of giving him a new name.

That makes sense, thanks.

What ones appeared over time?

I don't know the details, but 3 months ago when Emgo316 reviewed Galva-Tyranno he mentioned that his 1st run Naval Commander was "falling apart" and FansHobby had sent him a new one.

TransformNRoll

Yes they fixed most, if not all the issues from the first run of Naval Commander

Great. I knew about the breaking waist connection for the super mode, but apparently more problems cropped up over time? Anyway, I'm glad they've been ironed out.

Say, I was looking up a few transformation videos to refresh my memory, and I ran across some mentions of the original version of this guy falling apart. I have the Powerlinx version, have they fixed whatever the problems were by then?

Omgoddess I had no idea she even existed! I really hope that one day they make an offical toy of her.

Just read her bio and I adore her.

I usually check TFWiki for alternate decos for projects that interest me in case there's a deco that I might like more.

I did know of Astrotrain from when I was a teen and Armada was first airing, but I only learned of Spacewarp in the last few years, or maybe when I first started using TFW, nearing a decade ago! xD

Really special, because IIRC they've said that they won't release the cab robot on its own.

But if this had been just the cab robot, I would get it. I never cared about Armada Prime combining with its trailer, because I liked the core robot so much. Plus you already have the combined mode with Jetfire.

It's the one reason that I didn't get the Powerlinx deco from this mould.

Yeah, I don't like the trailer pants but I do like Jet Convoy, so it would be nice to not have to spend money and set aside space for a trailer that I do not want.

Still, unfortunate that FansHobby has said that, but the finale deco is the best reason to make an exception, I think.

Curium

Of course if she is going to come with all her mini-cons she would have to wait until FH gets to their third weapon team.

For sure, but Jetfire still seems like a ways off, anyway, and it's totally possible that we may see the Astro Blaster at tomorrow's 3P Panel to follow the already announced Star Saber and Cosmotector.
