Hi all,

A couple PMOP mods for better articulation (pardon my banana):



He can now move his arms at the shoulders, and his legs at the waist and knees separately. I did the arm mod a while back, it's pretty easy. Just take off the arm by removing the 2 screws and the elbow pin, cut off the plastic stud for the bottomg screw attaching the arm, and re-assemble, leaving off the bottom screw. You'll have to shorten the elbow pin or find another way to hinge the elbow, I have yet to finish that part.

The legs I spent an hour on today and it was a pain, but worth it. I won't go into details yet, but you need to pull off a back wheel and a front one, no picnic let me tell you. the rear wheel removal lets you take apart the foot. Once you do, cut off the plastic boss that joins that foot to the central part between the feet, the trailer hitch. The take the legs off from the hips and get a long thin screw that will tie both upper legs to the central pivot. Reassemble all. I still need to finish the backs of the thighs, the one-piece panel that used to join them needs to be cut into 2.

Comments please!

This is Awesome! Now PM Optimus isn't rooted to the ground like his G1 self
