DOTM Sentinel Prime: Improvement?

Hi. This may be in the wrong forum. I didn't know whether to post this in the Custom Figures forum or the Toys Forum, but I thought, for people who have (or are planning to get) DOTM Sentinel Prime, that I could give a suggestion to make him look better.

If you have seen pics of Sentinel Prime, you know that there is a hose on his back. Well theres a quick fix for that. If you turn it the opposite way you can arrange it to be over his shoulder, which makes it look like a shoulder cannon. Now he does not have a "tail." of such. And the red door pannels on his shoulder can fold onto his backpack.

As far as the shield is concerned, I don't know if any of you have this problem, but Sentinel just wont grip his shield tight enough, which makes it flop around. If you want some good display action, and if you are not fond of the "X" look of his shield, if notice there is a hole on the side of his arm. Simply peg the shield into that hole. I suggest pegging it with the bottom peg. If you notice there are 3 pegs beside it's handle. Use the singular one on the bottom. If you want to have it in "X" form you can put it like that, but you'll have to get one of the plastic pieces around the shoulder. It hides his hand a little bit though.

Tell me how this improvement works for you, or if you have any better ways to improve this figure. I accept all ideas. Please move this thread if it is in the wrong forum. Thanks :D. Pictures coming soon.

Yeah, you aint lying about his shield flopping around in his hand. Those are some great suggestions but I find pluging the shield into the arm hinders the articulation too much. However it might display well.

Ooh just thought of another improvment. The black tabs behind his legs but also behind the gray top, you can split those and put them slightly to the back of his legs, so the wheels dont spin around as much.
