After the upgrade of the Tread's chest I could place the Legioss' arms in the space at the front of the Tread and the plastic piece that locks the Tread in place also allows to lock the Legioss very firmly : there's a "tab" thing on the upgrade piece that locks the Legioss' legs. It was locked so tightly that it could be turned upside down and even shaked without fear, once it's locked the Legioss will remain firmly attached to the Tread. I also have a Toynami combo and it's nowhere as secured as CM's, at least when the Legioss is connected in fighter mode. Hi, I just got my set of these and I think it’s great really.

It sounds like Tread now locks firmly in place, but what about Legioss? Does it still flop around?

I suppose I could just experiment once I get it in hand and gave a closer look at the way the hip functions, but an idea of what I'm getting into before hand would be awesome.

I also have taken some pictures to update my comparisons for the Betas/Treads and am planning on updating the Beta reviews (or making a new post) when I have all the remaining Toynami Betas. In the meantime I'll post here if I can track down where I found that modified CMs Legioss toy but at this point it's pretty likely I won't be able to find it. If someone else has it I hope they'll post it here for you. On my to do list is going back through and updating my original Toynami Alpha reviews since their pretty old and moldy at this point.

I've done some research around the web but I can't seem to find any pics or details on just how much the range of motion can be improved. I was hoping that maybe you had a few more details or even links to some completed mod's. Thanks for the review, there were some great shots of both sets.

It has prompted me to order one set, probably from the same seller where you got yours from on eBay. IMHO, there are no better sets for the Legioss and Tread out yet, since even the new Toynami release (their new alpha fighter variant) is still seem to be plagued with issues...

Not a terribly bad price either, something like $175 shipped but it was from a Hong Kong seller and the box had some dings if you care about such things. I got mine from eBay.

The ability to achieve that look may be the only reason I ever pursue this collectable. -- Because looking at the fighters linked up I can still see (upgrade or not) that this is mostly a piece of poo that is not well thought out and extremely over-priced. The orange Beta pods jutting up and the Legioss arm fins hanging out ensure I would never even change them into this mode . . . GREAT job on emulating the famous pose they based this upgrade around.
