It's basically already open, might as well build it :) Personally, I got my droid carrier from a 3rd source, as I wasn't able to afford the minimum buy, but it's a lovely set!
Jip heb the original ones Well is my hotrod from the target master serie Its the same only a hole to put a target master on the engine. Oke yours hotrod is the target master one. Its have a hole in the engine
The hole's there either way. You could put one of his original photon lasers in there. Targetmaster Hot Rod was retooled with bigger holes (I think 5mm ports) for Firebolt's gun mode. Ditto that for Kup, Blurr, Cyclonus, and Scourge with their Targetmaster versions.
Yes only the holes Bigger engine hole. Really you can only see it of you set both. But you correct you have not the target master but the original one Hard to see with no guns . My toys are in a box set away
You know these third party Transformers that have been created are amazing and I wish I had them growing up. But the original Transformers are still AWESOME. All the combiners: The Constructicons, the Stunticons(my favorite), the Arielbots, The Combaticons, The Protectobots, The Predacons, The Terrorcons and The Technobots are all #1.
The tread shouldn't have space like that. The legs have to be put on at the exact spot in the instructions or else they wont work. Nothing you cant fix though, it is a really cool build when its running.
As should be expected of a build this big, and complex, that even has moving parts... Its a very difficult build. Your kids having failed to put it together 100% correctly on their own is such a bizzare thing to spend nearly 5 minutes to complaining about.
