Grabbed a loose G2 Swindle at BotCon that seems like one side was dropped in some soda and wasn't thoroughly washed off, and now the wheels are stuck. Any advice on cleaning out the axles?

Hi!

I have a couple of G1 Blades figures, and I'm trying to do a rotor blade swap. Does anyone have any advice for removing the pin that holds the rotors in?

Sorry if this isn't the right spot for this post.

Thanks!

I recently got Prime First Edition Cliffjumper, and one of the pins in his legs (the one that the window panel folds in on right at his knee) is not quite the right shape, so the plastic around it making up the joint is cracked.

How do I safely fix the joint so that the pin will still rotate?

I am having the exact same problem with my RTS Wreck-Gar, on one of his handlebars.

I have the 20th DVD Prime also BUT my Prime fall a good 3-4 feet of a top self and the a Front headlight piece broke off do you know where to find a good head light piece can be found ?

Halp I was transforming my First Edition Prime Bumblebee and the groove where the right bumper plugs into in robot mode snapped off. I tried to super glue it back on but the broken piece is so thin that if I apply minimal pressure it just falls off again.

Any advice?

Try dipping a q-tip in some warm water with a little bit of soap. It may take a while, but that ought to do the trick. Just wipe off the excess and let it air dry.

I'm not sure what to do about the FE CJ joint. I know that I wasn't patient enough with my RTS Wreck-Gar and I eventually broke one of the handle bars. Since then I have been doing my best to handle my figures with more care. Maybe some slight glue could help?

My first post in this thread, so here goes...

I am sure many of you own a KO of the Fansproject City Commander/Shadow Commander which has the annoying loose shoulders and/or arms!

Can anyone be kind enough to direct me to a part of this thread or alt website where I can find various ways of modding/fixing the KO armour to prevent the parts from falling off?

I own both the original and KO version of the Classics Optimus Prime/Nemesis/Magnus figures, so alternate ways to fix the KO problems would be appreciated.

Are some of the KO armours worse than others despite coming from the same mold or are they all the same?

Hope the many fans of these versions will be able to guide me in the right direction with fixing these (what would be) great pieces of 3rd party (KO) add ons!

Thanks folk!

I just glued a small amount of epoxy resin into the insides of the shoulder armour, at the front, and then to the inside of the forearms, at the top. I put on some glue, waited for 30 minutes and then test-fitted, and built up with more glue as necessary. The good thing with epoxy resin is it remains slightly malleable for a day or so, so you can squeeze it into the desired shape. Once you are happy, remove the armour and let it set over a few days.

The other good thing is that the epoxy resin should come off in one piece if you decide to remove it. I use Araldite.

Hello, I am new to this forum, and have been looking for advice on how to fix my G1 Bluestreak. He has loose legs that, when he is in robot mode, slide down and make him short. Looks kind of silly. Any way to fix this? The feet are fine, and his legs stay upright. Just slides down as if you were converting him back to car mode. Thanks in advance.
