CoC - Bots

I picked up a box of Reductors not too long ago and I thought Id share the un-boxing of them with you.  So lets see what we've got...

First off we get two bags.  One that has all the bases in them and another one that contains all the parts for the models.  So lets rip those bags open to see what goodies we get.

Inside the bag there are a bunch of torsos/legs and heads and oh look another bag!  Unfortunately, I appear to have gotten one of my grunt heads lost sometime during the packaging process because I only got 8 heads.  However, I did get 3 leader heads since it looks like they package the heads in fours (1 leader + 3 grunts) and don't bother to remove the extra leader heads.  Unfortunately, the leader heads differ quite a bit for me to simply use one of the extra heads as a replacement for the lost grunts head.  Though I'm not too worried seeing as I'll be buying another box and am planning to magnetize the models.  So lets see what that last bag holds...

As expected, these models are also made up of a bunch of parts, which, seems to be typical for the Convergence of Cyriss.  Though, what did surprise me is that some of the arms are actually two pieces!  This can be seen on the model that is on the right.  It's blade arm only goes up to its forearm and then the shoulder part is a separate piece.  I'm not really sure why they needed to break those arms into two pieces when they were able to make some of the other arms as a single piece.  So be prepared for quite a bit of assembly and clean up work on the models, since I'm sure you can see from the pictures that the models have quite a lot of flash/mold lines that will need to be removed.

I will of course post some pictures once Ive got them cleaned and painted though I don't think that I'll get around to that anytime soon.  Until then you'll just have to imagine what the final model will look like once its painted.  I will be following the colour scheme that I used for the Angels, that is, mainly black with small portions  painted red (the face plates and shoulder pads).

Until next time...
