wow. I love the wash, makes it look like alot more effort was put into the paint job than the original. Makes me wish they had done something like that on all of the Cybertron series, so they would look more like they do in the stock pictures.

Okay. So this is the one things that's friving me crazy. Megatron's Fusion Cannon. It's mounted on the underside of his arm, when it should be the side. It just doesn't look right. So here's my question. Any thoughts on rotating either the cannon or the hand? I think it would be a simple matter to switch the hand out with another one that has the rod hinge on the side. Thoughts?

This bugs me as well. Due to the transformation, I think moving the cannon to the side would not work too well. However, I have thought of cutting the fist off and gluing it back on sideways. The cannon would still be on the bottom though when you compare the elbow. Whatever you do though, you got to do it on both arms so they match.

Don't own him yet, but heres a thought, make swivel hinges both at the wrist and directly below the elbow. This way he could turn his hand so the gun is on the side and still bend at the elbow.

you can't put a swivel below the elbow. the sides of the forearm wouldn't allow the elbow to bend. you can already swivel above the elbow to put the cannon in the right position if his elbow is straight.

Actually, I think it would take some modding, but you could trim away his fore arms around the wrists. Then change the hands so they're swivle wrists.

I'm trying to remember. Was there an Energon/Cybertron toy that had hindged swivle wrists?

I wish there was a way to move the cannon itself to the side, but I think that's fairly beyond impossible and still have it functional.

I also wish he was a real nurf gun, but that's just me. :p

Minor mod I did: I took a fine tipped metalic silver permanent marker to the yellow in the crest of Prime's head. Looks a ton better.

Plan to do: I'm gonna strip the white off of Bumblebee, and then probably add some black trim to break up all that yellow.
