I got Dark of the Moon Roadbuster and his arms are really loose, how do I tighten ball joints? Is there a way? and how do I tighten friction joints, the roof of Crankcase is really loose and floppy
SHOCKWAVE IS COMING!!

Coats of clear nail polish (or any durable paint) should do the trick. Keep putting coats of it on until the ball joint is nice and tight.

There's no absolute fix to it that requires any handywork tools. Just coat the ball joint with clear nail polish, sturdy paint, or play doh. No just kidding about the play doh.
I haven't fixed a ball joint, what I usually do is just push my thumb on the ball joint really hard and it sometimes snaps in more. But this doesn't happen all the time. There were just a lucky few times this happened with me. Good luck.

Oh you already fixed it. Sorry, ignore my post.
I still have one thing to say.
Can my sister borrow your nail polish?

FWIW, super glue works if you can't get nail polish.

Take a small piece of paper towel, crumble it up and place it in the socket the ball goes into, then attach the ball joint and the paper towel should add more "mass" to the ball and make the joint more stiff
Looks like Prime got into the energon goodies jar

I prefer super glue, nail polish tends to come off easier.

I have for years ,like some of the others said used Super Glue ,it works great ,by the way .One time though clear tape placed just right worked .That is on my 20th anniversary Optimus Prime's leg where it connects to the body .
One day it just came off ,and the glue would not work cause how it is not really a ball joint .Just thought that might help .But yeah use the glue .
TILL ALL ARE CUTE
