Yeah, this is the second "Generations" re-imagining; this one has a really solid set of joints and overall balance/centre of gravity, so the playability/shelf pose-ability is dialed up to 11.

Just what the Ratchet ordered! Thanks.

I'll have to look harder next time, then; I couldn't find it! I was using the a la carte "JTI" videos, and only some of his SS86 Constructicon videos have "to combined mode" steps.

HasTak Studio Series '86. They come in all different price points... probably a pain for folks that tried to get 'em without ordering online or whatever!

Boredom doesn't stand a chance!
