(If this thread has been made like a million times then don't reply). I want to know how do you make the fusion cannon? because it doesn't say in the intructions and in the movie megatron gallery there's the fusion cannon but not connected to the other pod. how do you do that?

Dude I posted a topic like this a while ago but no one replied. -.- the point is that Hasbro lied, the entirety of the fusion cannon is on the left arm already, and it doesnt extend or combine like it did in the movie.

It doesn't extend, but it does combine.

Flip the hands in, like you would for vehicle mode.
Snap wrists together, arms will now be attached.
Flip cannon halfway, open the weapon.
Flip cannon's base into place, slide cannon (slides on it's base/hinge) into center of connection.

There you have it.

Ah, well apparently that is the gimmick for the fusion cannon. The problem is that the spring inside that is too strong and it snaps back into place. So you need to replace the spring in that one. How you activate it I don't know, cuz i dont have megs, but if you have a weaker spring in the left arm pod you can keep the gimmick sticking out.

Simple fix. (only takes about 15 minutes from disassembly, the switch, and back to assembled...)

Pull the spring out of the cannon, and put it in the right forearm. Now, not only will his grappling hook/claw fire, his cannon will also open and stay open. It's gear driven anyway, the spring in the cannon was a stupid move on Hasbro's part.
