Is my Blazemaster a dud?

[Team Jetfire]

I opened Blazemaster and whilst transforming him noticed that the front landing gear is a little off. upon further investigation it looks like there is a square hole that the front landing gear should go into.

this is what I am talking about:



I read a few reports of him being a little off. Any others have this issue?

Mine did stick a bit but with some carefully directed pressure I was able to get it to snap in place. I was on pins and needles while I was doing it though!

[Megamould]

Same here. I've found Blazemaster to be a nightmare in general, I still don't think I've figured out how to properly transform him.

I dunno...he grew on me, I really like him but to answer your question mine doesn't fit in there either so I think it's a global issue with the mold, nothing a little dremel shaving on the sides can't fix.

I really like the transformation I just which he had some more stable pegging.

[Team Jetfire]

Hmm...Too bad really. I tried to force it, but it just doesn't look like it can fit.

I read it as:

"Is my Blazemaster a dude?"

And then I lol'd

[Pulverise2]

just got mien today having the same problem it is really supposed to peg in therE? the instructions don't say anything about it, but damn this one is the hardest tf ive ever had to transform, i don't think he'll be going in to his copter mode for a while, took me a while before i got the back piece to peg in the right way.

[Team Jetfire]

I really want to like this guy, but the lack of stability really bugs me. Oh well, at least the vehical mode is aces.

[GMfan]

There's a few things one can mod on him to make him more stable but not much. I'll probably paint his head like it looks on the package though (gold with silver "face") but it won't fix him moldwise :P

Better off as a display piece, his second blade for me doesn't even peg in well on his right arm so that needs to have some clear coat brushed around it. I'll give him props for being the first news chopper Transformer.

Kay, so you put the blades in his "hands", and then WHAMMO, giant shuriken rotor weapon.

Will go snap a pic.
