The Energon Pub

I wanted my gestalts to have the ability to bend at the elbows and have their hands facing the right way, so this is what I did:

First, I cut off the small tab on the foot of Kickback, as designated in these pics by red:

I then got to work changing the rotational parameters of the "wings" on wideload:

All this allowed the arm to be posed as such:

Then I got to work on Wideload. I decided the helicopters energon hand would be better for use on this one.

I shorted the end plug, and thinned the side plug:

This allowed the side peg to be fitted into the hole that is coloured yellow here:

This meant i could pose the arm like this:

So, when attached to Constructicon maximus, it looks like this, with full elbow movement

That is an awesome mod! Minimal work with maximum result, keep up the great work!

Interesting. Those tanks always make a big mess of kibble. half of it becomes not-arm. annoys me that the guns can't face forward unless he raises his entire upper-arm, or moves the wings into a position that limit his elbow articulation.
I think for the crane's new hand, if he's Devastator, he could do with fists but... that's a much larger mod.
