I broke down and purchased this upgrade.
I bought the Unite Warriors Devastator (for the different paint scheme) and this X2 upgrade set must have been designed BEFORE Takara's release... As the secondary connector to Long Haul (Devastator's side torso) does NOT plug unto his fist. I did see an upgrade to the upgrade, but that's just to late. And realy? We have to buy an additional upgrade kit to the upgrade kit? It should be given away free of charge. But hey, who am I but a lowly consumer. I'll just rotate the plug so it sits inside LH's massive wheel...
The shoulder extension is very well designed and highly articulated. I LOVE the forward rotation and extra 4 pegs for the bulldozer and excavator treads. Well done!
The Mixmaster cab face is perfect.
The forearms are huge and sparcely painted. They have a back panel and are very nice. But like everyone is saying, the Hasbro / Takara elbow joints are simply not strong enough to support the weight.
The hands are wonderful. And even have bits painted, but the thumbs may have to be modded. I just couldn't understand why my Cloud 9 Quakeblast (which is half the size) has ball jointed AND pin jointed thumbs. Yet these DO NOT.
Thanks to the fans, they have carved out a slot for the ball joint stalk to rotate into. I'll check mine and see if I have the skill to do the mod.
The knee plates are fine. Hip skirts are OK.
The shoulder ratchets are very nice. And the inclusion of a secondary set (which sit lower) is a nice addition. I like the higher shoulders. But maybee if you keep the original Hasbro/ Takara forearms it would look more compact?
Quality and construction (no pun intended) are good. With excellent pant applications. Box is basic but nice with cardboard slots and foam on the top and bottom, while all parts are sealed in tiny plastic bags. No paint scuffs on my set.
Score: 6/10
