hold on im lost here...when i got exgraver and he was in vehicle mode ive never used these grey pull out things on his forarms to connect them to anything. I cant even see were the pegs would even connect into.

Ill take a pic to show people because i cant see a use for them in vehicle or robot mode

Swindle01 - the small grey tabs on TFC Exgravers arms are for use in vehicle mode. Pull the tabs out from the arms and use the pegs on the end of them to secure the holes from the hinge in the middle of the tracks/legs.

They help to keep the tracks level with the underside of the vehicle - without them, the vehicle 'brick' just kinda sits on the tracks.

Hope this helps?

Also - love this thread. Without it, I'd never have known about Prowl (& repaints) feet, Hot Rod's crotch or WFC Soundwave's boom box. Thanks to all contributors!

PRiD Arcee looks GREAT with HftD Brawn's guns. To bad the guns arent blue...

RTS Fallback (Brawn redeco) had black guns, maybe they go better?

I'll have to get mine out sometime and check. Arcee's gun is great, but way bigger than it should be!

It slots perfectly onto Deluxe two pack classics Prime's hands

Yeah, well I dont have the repaint, and I loved G1 Brawn so the choice was obvious. Brawn is 31 flavors of awesome.

soon as I saw those guns I knew they'd go great with an Arcee of some sort. Fallback should be easy to pick up cheap, since he was filler in one of the RTS waves with G1 characters. I only picked him up because he was cheap but quite like him, in all his kibbley glory. The face, and colours inspired me to rename him Fallout.

If you have both Movie Trilogy Optimus Prime with Trailer AND Super Go-Bots Staks Transport (w/ Trailer), you can switch the trailers. They are interchangeable.

"Fallback" will always be named Outback in my collection

Just discovered the the RTS / United Windcharger's legs compact when in robot mode. The wheel/side of the car can be inserted by pushing it into the core part of his leg, for a more leaner look. Nice touch.

I've got to get a Windcharger!!

BTW, nice new sig

I just saw that Bot Shots can do this, whatever it is:


Also, they kinda look like combiner legs:

I can hear the kitbashers clambering already.

But a botshots combiner would be unfair. He'd be able to activate every attribute at once, making him invulnerable!


DO IT!

OMG I want this to happen somehow.

Or it might just destroy itself!

All the cars look the same... Pick 4 for the rest of the Stunticons.

I feel like it wouldn't be *too* difficult, if you wouldn't mind the bot shots being basically inert. Just slap some power-core points and connectors on your limbs and torso (or use a PCC torso...though bot shots would make rather stumpy limbs xD).

Classics Bumblebee and Cliffjumper compact alot farther in robot mode than I originally thought, making them look MUCH skinnier from the side. If you pull the trailer hitch all the way up/out, the waist fits flush in the slot that the trailer peg was in. I just realized this. It fills in alot of the waist that was hallow before. I like it alot better now

Especially after someone else posted it in this thread!

I dont recall, especially since ive read every page to further my transformation experience Of course, it's been quite a while since ive read through it, and I REALLY dont want to do it again...

i dont blame ya! have some other poor sucker do it

I had to transform my Bumblebee to see what I was missing. Then realised I wasn't missing anything. I'd been transforming him fully this whole time. Hadn't really looked at that part much before though, and now I do, I've realised that the trailer hitch forms a little devil tail on him. The warnings were there all along, and we missed it! The tail, the horns! We didn't stop him, and now he's taken over the shelves, and turned them into a firey pit of evil yellow!
