>>6765667Some other stuff worth talking about before I start blogging about the combined mode.
Blacker's a little backpack heavy with most of the buggy's hood and windshield just hanging there along with the rear tires, but it doesn't get in the way much. I don't really like how the hood doesn't tab into a secure position though. It doesn't really move around any more than wobbling, but it makes him feel slightly less solid to handle.
That arm shield is pretty solid on him too. It attaches securely to a hinge so it can move around a lot and it's kind of surprising how little it limits his articulation, like you can get his arms in almost any position while the shield is on. You can also attach the foot pieces as arm shields on the legbots, but it's not even close to as solid. It pretty much just hangs on by a tiny tiny tab, falling off if you look at it weird, and getting in the way of arm articulation. I'll be happy to leave the combiner feet as loose combiner kibble with the hands, but Blacker's arm shield is really great.
