Things your Transformers can do that you never realised

Postby RogueDeathangel » Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:06 am

For example, I have had Energon Treadshot/Sky Shadow for 5 or 6 years now... and I never knew that the "wings" on his robot mode shoulders could rotate...
And it took me over a year to realise that the Universe Micromaster Combiners kibble could combine into a vehicle.

Maybe I need to read instructions more often... :lol:

I have an old, broken Optimal Optimus, and I never knew he had his robot head in his cannon.

Man, I've had a bunch of these 'duh' moments... there's only one I can think of right now though. For the first 3 months, I had no idea Alternity Bumble's shin/knee parts lock in for robot mode. Makes him just a smidge taller and sturdier.

I had Cybertron Leader Optimus Prime's backpack/cannon thing upside down on him, on DISPLAY(!), for about two years.

I discovered that G1 Primes Smoke Stacks can break just by looking at them. Very unimpressive.

Energon Ironhides actual legs aren't the combination-mode legs, although I still display him so.

Well, that's if the instructions even bother to list all the options. I know that some recent figures have features that weren't mention at all, not to mention the unintentional ones that fans have "discovered". For instance, RoTF Mindwipe can actually combine with his drone in robot mode, despite never being designed to do so. Also I never knew about Alternators Sliverstreak's heels.

The wings on Energon Prowl's vehicle mode can be pulled out:

Makes his spoiler look much better.

Also, for some reason I see a lot of pic of ROTF Sideways transformed wrong(including Seib's galleries, and the Hasbro official pics). There are triangular pieces on his chest that flip up and allow you to peg his backpack behind his head.

That's why you get the metal replacement stacks (especially if you bought the reissue Prime with the stubby stacks, like me). :KREMZEEK:
