Nonnef Transformer upgrades for Siege Hound, Sideswipe, Red Alert, and Earthrise WheelJack.

 

Something always felt off about some of these characters that Hastak released. They were missing something basically. Let's find out what it is and let's get started!



Hound





What Nonnef did here was reproduced the G1 imagery of Hound's shoulder missile and his Holo gun.
For reference: look here:


I really love his missile.

Sideswipe






















Sideswipe no longer needs to take off his shoulder cannon to use as a gun. Nonnef supplies you a shoulder cannon that can be leveled to various degrees and a extra rifle. 


Red Alert













Ditto for Red Alert on the shoulder cannon shortage issue.  Now Red Alert has an array of weapons to fire at his disposal.

WheelJack






Extra accessory if you prefer to mount WJ's shoulder cannon to his left shoulder.




You can stick it to the left shoulder if you choose to stick the right shoulder cannon assembly piece but you can see it's a tight fit for him. He can freely move his head if you put it on the other side. Vice versa if you choose to change out the assembly piece, but you have to keep popping the base open which I didn't want to due to wear and tear over time. But for accuracy purposes, it will stay on the right. My only complaint is that I wish the wrenches were adjustable. The Generations version had this feature which allowed WJ to store his weapons more properly. His spoiler allows him to have longer shoulder wings which is a nice touch. I just putted his original spoiler in the back of his legs. 


Perhaps, the most improved in this category. The original WJ design showcased smaller shoulder wings/spoiler and mini shoulder cannon gun. Now he has longer wings, bigger shoulder cannon, an extra smaller gun/repair weapon, and 2 wrenches. 

Here is his reference:


Alt mode:













Now these guys are ready to go all out! Hound wins in this category in storing the most weapons wherever you have a 5mm port. WJ has the best redesign though this disables him from storing more weapons. But Hound did him a favor and carried his gun. Funny thing was that I found out you can store his wrenches as exhaust ports. Use your imagination here.

Alternating weapons and final words











Use your imagination again. Overall, a vast improvement over the nearly barebones accessories Hastak gave us. To sum this up, the quality of the custom weapons are great though it took me some time to put some of the pieces together. The characters with their extra weapons look much cooler and are more fun to play around with. Enjoy. You won't be disappointed by the upgrades if you choose to get them.
