>>10516935>Wait, the matrix is removable?Yep. The center is actually completely clear, but looks reddish pink because it's attached to a red 5mm peg. Technically, you can swap it out for the traditional G1 Matrix, which also uses a 5mm peg to clip in, but I haven't tested it to see if his chest will close with it in there.
>>10516979>so if it's just bare silver plastic with a circular indent or something, then the door is shut! as it should be during normal operation.Oh, I know that - but that's never stopped Spark Crystals from being a thing, and it's one of the old gimmicks I liked. Either way, here's the (closed) door to his Spark chamber, safe and sound.
>>10517070>god these gen 2 universe minicons sucked assThe robot mode is terrible, but I love the little dragon mode, so I almost never transform them. They're perfectly fine staying as little dragons forever.
>>10517082>Is it the black technic pin or is it something else?Well, yes and no - I'm using the grey technic pin because I have no free black ones, so the connections tend to be a bit looser (the grey ones don't have the friction bits on them that the black ones do). However, they seem to work securely enough on Optimus and Megatron here - it's Starscream and Hotshot who were giving me issues before. I'm still not sure why the Armada guys didn't get proper Minicon pegs, but Animated Bulkhead somehow did.
>>10517093I got mine a few weeks ago, and honestly...I wasn't impressed. What the hell was up with that tail placement?
