>>6607838Alright, so more on Braver here. He's both tighter than Laster in not so good ways, and looser than Laster in good ways. Having a real problem with his arm panels to get the hands out. They're both stressed on the inside (probably from the factory), and the one on his left arm is really tight. I might try to get some graphite lube in there, because thats really the problem one. And as I mentioned before, one of his locking tabs was almost completely broken off right from the box, so they probably just put him together at the factory a little fucked up. I glued it for now, but I don't think it'll be a major problem if it breaks off, he seems like he'll be alright. We'll see once I get him back to car mode.
Now, for the stuff thats better than Laster. Leg transformation is much better overall. His parts for transformation seem much better toleranced. I had to lube the shit out of stuff that was super tight and squeaky all over the place for Laster for his transformation. It's not like that with this guy, everything so far is moving pretty smooth. You don't have as crazy good foot articulation as a result of the slight changes made to his leg transformation, but it's much easier to get everything in place. All his joints feel good, as good as Laster's, so I think TFC is finally rounding the bend from "meh" company to "solid", between these guys and all of the people praising Poseidon. We'll see how it all holds up when Blacker comes around though.
I can't seem to get his black spoiler bits to lock in though, but it doesn't really matter. They don't hold anything down, and they still go across the knee just fine even if they're not actually tabbed in. So I dunno what their problem is.
