Alt to Bot or Bot to Alt

Postby Bonecrusher27 » Fri Oct 19, 2007 9:47 am

It's always occurred to me everytime I tranform a figure from alt to bot mode, it's a hell of a lot easier than vice versa. I figure it's because with alt to bot, you're basically opening up, loosening, etc. Whereas with bot to alt, you're closing up, tightening, making more compact etc.

Since my experience pales in comparison to those of you who have hundreds, even thousands of figures, I was wondering if there's ever been a case in your experiences where the opposite held true? In other words, transforming the toy from bot to alt was actually easier than the other way round?

For me, it's usually the same for both.

Except for the alternators/binaltech figures.

It's all easy sailing to mey, no problems either way.
But whatever works, works.

alt to bot is hella harder. you gotta make sure everythings even... especially the steering effect... its just harder to lock stuff into place rather then pulling out.

That's what I observed. But I have only a tiny collection so wondered if there ever was a case where the opposite was true.
