Yeap, this is the boxed version of Kabaya kits I bought from Genting, and happily get to work on this piece... Initially liked the Gundam-like plastic, but later realised that it may be more difficult to work on with, especially fitting in of pins, etc. broke one such pin.... The swivel joints are merely the simplest of pin and hole, held tightly by friction alone... some other kits have ball-joints, but not know how they fare, will know when assemble... Basically these kits are simplified, and may not look too much like the original versions...
Anyway, assemble Energon Prowl and realised that the arms are moulded as one piece can only swing lateral and can't lift arm to aim gun forward... so use some polystyrene sheet and Tamiya pin to make it swivelable..
Next, added a piece of face mask to hide the face when viewing the vehicle mode from bottom side...
So here's the vehicle mode... did not apply stickers...
Bot mode... very small head, suspect is from another TF... anyway, looks quite good... height to head is about 9.5cm... Weird kit to have the gun holes at bottom of fists... S0, drill holes on the top of fists to allow gun to fit in...
...neat piece, took a long time to do, the instructions cannot make it... hahaha... oh, and yes, colour the wheels black with a black marker...
