My voyager class 2007 megatron is having a problem with one of the wing hinges which hold the wing tips. In the jet form from top view its the left wing and in robot mode it´s the one on the right as where seen from the front.

The hinge which keeps the the wing tip dangles crazily like the devil is at work :evil:

If it tries to stay completely downwards or slanted downwards in jet mode. But if its stretched outwards in a stright line or face upwards in jet mode it stays firm.

I´ve tried tightening/reapplying the screws around this plastic part area but it didn´t work. And I haven´t seen any cracks in the hinge support but i can provide photo of the exact area if it can help, just notify me on that and i´ll provide a image.

Any suggestions ??

if you could provide an image that ould help me try to figure it out

As far as strange disfigurements in toys go my Animated Cybertron form optimus is wierd. the hood/shield in vehicle mode is fine at the front end but near the back I have to spread it out for it to fit on. if i don't it pops right off. hasbro should work on that

Floppy hinge? Clear nail varnish.

Are there any other things you can use, i dont have any access to clear nail varnish in my home. And i´m an icelandic resident so i dont know if any store has stuff like clear varnish. i´ve heard somewhere by Jin Saotome on this board that glue can be used as well if carefully.

Has anyone had success with that technique.
