MATRIX WORKSHOP M-91 Weapon Upgrade Kit For SS86 Snarl Sword Gun Shoulder missile review

Image
  Aloha folks, I am back with the final Dinobot upgrade and the final post of the year of 2025. So without further delay, here is Matrix Workshop M-91 weapon upgrade for Snarl. Lets get started! Dinobot mode So this kit comes with an extra sword, rifle, and shoulder missile; more like Tricep missile. In Dino mode, there isn't much places to store his weapons. I'm not sure why but its weird that MW did not include a 5mm tab on the side of his sword handle like how Slag had. So you can only store it vertically which also doesn't hold in place that well. His triceps become the hips in this mode so that is the only storage solution on this mode along with his back 5mm port. Use your imagination.  Robot mode.   So now Snarl can wield dual swords. The sword MW gives here fits his hands better than Sludge. It's also longer than the Hasbro one. So poor Sludge getting the weak legs from Hasbro and a hard to clasp weaponry from MW. It's nice he was finally includ...

Matrix Workshop M-76 Sword, Weapon, Eye upgrade for SS 86 Sludge

 Aloha Folks, I am back with a Christmas special I guess. Haha. I decided to do this shoot for the Holidays otherwise it be another couple days before I can do my next one. Today is the upgrades for Sludge from folks who gave you the Matrix workshop upgrades for Slag . This one is M-76 . Without further delay, lets get started. As one of my TF buddies said, it was a split second this scene happened, and it forever was etched into our memories. If you are still oblivious to what I am saying, this is the scene where one of the animators decided to animate Sludge's eyes popping looney tunes style when Devastator pounds Sludge on his back in the 86 film . You can tell that I had loads of fun on this upgrade. For something that feels like a bonus to this set, it was nailed perfectly. The upgrade used here fits and snaps on fine to Sludge's Dino head. With this set is also a rocket warhead for his original factory gun. It also comes with a rifle and a sword. In the Dino mode,...

Matrix Workshop M-59 Backpack sword Weapon Tail Upgrade Kit For SS86 Slag Review

Aloha folks, I am back with another TF upgrade review: Matrix Workshop M-59 Backpack sword Weapon Tail Upgrade Kit For SS86 Slag. Once again found on Ebay as my vision to upgrade all the Dinobots to make sure they all have at least a gun and a sword. Without further delay, let's get started! Content wise: The package consists of a sword, another gun/rocket launcher type weapon, a tail filler, and a mini backpack to store your weapons.  In Dino mode, the sword is pretty much weight and adds no real value in this mode besides placement for storage. The tail filler shines the best in this category because now you can use the mini back pack to house weapons on his back. It's nicely done. If it's your forte, you can use the tail as a weapon as well. And then the hilarious thing is you can plug his other weapons into his tail area. Including the sword though there is no peg for it so it fits very loosely.   Now this is where the weapons make a difference. Starti...

3D DIY! 3D DIY G1 Gun Weapon Upgrade Kit For Studio Series SS86 Swoop Review

Image
  Super Swoop Got this off Ebay. I was upgrading all my Dinobots with either missing swords or guns. In this case, Swoops gun. Without delay, here is 3D DIY G1 Gun for Swoop.    The gun fits in Swoop decently. It isn't a total fit for it is a little loose. You can pretty much peg it where ever the 5mm port. It's nicely painted and its a great fit for Swoop. Most other figures can utilize this weapon too. I said most because some like SS Ironhide gets it stuck on the tip of the gun handle. Optimus can grapple it well. Trial and error if that is your forte.  Alt mode     You can peg it where you usually peg his swords. The best place, or should had been, was behind his head. You need to swerve it a little in order for you to peg it. The example is shown on the 3rd pic in this category. Otherwise, just peg it where ever his 5mm port is.  Conclusion You can use his missiles for his gun but I like how it looks on his wings without you having to ...
