sorry, let's try this:

That awesome D-Max! Definitely going to be how I display Swindle if he ever gets to be in robot mode. At work right now, but can you tell me if you can put the handfootgun into the side slot? Or, if you flip the gun upside down, can the handfootgun peg on top of it?

Sorry, there isn't clearance to use the gun handle in the hole on the fist. And the hole in the gun is on the side, so, there are clearance issues there too. Nice idea, though!

Unfortunately the hole in the side of the gun can only be placed to either side, not on top or underneath. thus you can only peg the HFG into the side and there is not enough clearance to be able to mount that thing there. I personally prefer to keep it underslung under his arm. It looks cool.

Dang. Oh well.

Just a heads up on this one, not all Swindles have the weapon tooled to work this way. It is actually a remold. Hound should have it though.

I'm pretty sure it is a running change. I did notice a reviewer who's Swindle did not have that yet mine did.

That's weird. I got the first batch to come in at BBTS...

I will have to check mine when I get home, but I am pretty sure my Swindle doesn't have the little pieces that are required to do this.

EDIT: He does have them! Only problem is that the fit is so tight that the first time I put the gun there I was afraid it would break one of the parts. Then, when removing the gun, it must have damaged the hole, because putting the gun in there now is very easy, but it isn't held in very tight. The outside hole doesn't really attach to the gun anymore. Still very cool, and I will be doing this with Hound as well.

Cool, thanks for the repost.

Not a problem! I guess I got one of those special Swindles that had it, as apparently there are a ton out there that do not

For clarity, this is Swindle's new gun mold with side pegs, to allow shoulder mounting. It's the same as Hound's.

I never realized MP1 Optimus had a moving mouthplate until I read the article on tfwiki

I don't have an Offroad to combine as well, but I'd suspect Rookstrike Alpha Bravo is a worthy combiner of Combiner Wars

How the heck did you manage that?

It looks like rook was turned into a parts former to fit onto alpha bravo

I'll post more pics later on, its backpack is stable, but the feet don't connect

It doesn't fit perfectly, just kinda sits there sort of held in (but not very well) by pressure, but you can shove Trailbreaker's hand foot gun behind his head and into the kibble hanging there to sort of give him his traditional emitter. It's a bit (okay, wayyyy) bigger than it should be, and as I said hardly stable, but you can do it.

I don't have a pic, but it's not rocket science to figure out if you have the figure.

Okay now I have pics. Actually it seems to fit in there pretty good at the moment. Won't fall out from just handling the figure or shaking it, though obviously it's still not completely secure. (But still way more secure than, say, Blackjack and Rodimus are as chestpieces without some sort of modding or 3rd party solution).

You can combine all 7 Aerialbots actually.

No pics?

Got any pictures of that? I just sort of hung Alpha Bravo off the back.

Combiner Wars Brawl can become a Classic's version of Gobot's Destroyer if you wish, with no modding:

As requested. Yes he hangs on the back, but it's a little more cohesive






Wouldn't think it, but he's pretty secure!

The comments that come to mind are numerous, and mostly inappropriate.

Other than...
