Are Gen. Roadbuster's forearms supposed to turn?

Postby Duke of Luns » Thu Dec 18, 2014 1:02 am

Hey Seibtrono's, I just got Generations Roadbuster, and after some examination I noticed that his forearm(or whatever you call that spot right below his shoulder) is attached by a circular peg, looks like it could turn, yet it does not want to turn. I tried a little bit, and it just came out of the socket(thank you safety feature).

I'm guessing it's not supposed to turn, and I see no evidence of it in the Seibertron galleries, but I figured I'd ask just in case it's just a stiff joint. And I don't want to accidently break it.

Mine turns. Whether or not it's supposed to turn i don't know. I don't see any stress marks or any indication it is going to break.

Yup. The parts connected to his upper shoulders. They both twist.

Thanks for the responses guys. :D I used a little more force and got them turning proper. Guess they were just super tight.
