My 20th anniversary Optimus Prime just got knocked off of the shelf I display him from. Both feet snapped (plastic broke on both). Very upset right now he was my prized piece. Any suggestions, any one know where Ratchet is at????

For a second there, I honestly thought you needed a Classics/Henkei Ratchet :lol:

Anyway, if you could take some pictuers of the damage with all the parts included, I may be able to find a solution.

sending pics also i mean i know crazy glue would hold but as i'm sure you know "ITS NOT THE SAME" LOL

I hear you. It's really unfortunate this happened to your prized figure. Crazy/super glue would work but even then, it would be best to see if any other alternatives can be taken in order to remedy the situation. I'll await the pics

I hope that other members are reading this thread so that they can provide some more input regarding this. The more ideas/tips, the better.

Depending on the break it may be possible to glue it back together in a non-noticeable way.

Pics are required.

If you're truly averted to crazy glue, it may be an idea to pop over to tfw and see if anyone has a junker MP Prime who can sell you some replacement parts for yours. Replacement parts ftw.

^ This would be the best option. The only other way would be to sand a little around the surface and edges very slightly right before applying the glue.

Thanks for the input guys, I'm gonna try the "double foot cg surgery" today, I'll post to let you know how it went. but I think I'm going to wind up having to break down and get a new one, put this one into vehicle form and park him so noone can see his feet/tail lights

The surgery was mostly a success!!!! The crazy glue worked but, I know in my heart that its not 100%. So some crazy glue,jewlers screwdriver, vaseline, a few curse words, and 1 newport 100 he is back together and on display. thanks Jazz, Zod, and City
