Movie Ironhide transformation problems

Postby Bobrock » Mon May 21, 2007 1:32 pm

If you have this figure yet, did you have a hard time getting the hip pegs to snap into place in robot mode? I've tried several times and finally just gave up and posed him with them kinda unsnapped and balancing. Let me know if you went through this and how to resolve it. On mine it looks like they're misaligned by 1/32 of an inch or less. It's driving me nuts.

Actually, he won't sit flush. That's part of his design.

There's a blue post that connects the torso to the pelvis area, and on that blue post is two holes (one on each side.)

If you look at the pelvis, you'll see two small posts that will fit in those holes.

Then there's a single tab on the topside of that blue post, which just barely snaps into a hole on the underside of the chest/torso part. However, it's not a deep connection, and he sits on the peg with a slight gap. (He's supposed to. Gives him that hunchbacked look.)

If it's not doing either of those, you might want to slightly and carefully widen the holes on that blue post a bit, so the pelvis snaps in easier. However, if you widen it too much, he won't hold together and flop around.

Hope this helps!

Did you rotate the lower half of his body? I had the same problem until I turned the lower half around, now it fits perfectly.

The rotating thing threw me off for a minute it but then I got that part. This is the actual posts (all three) that don't fit into the holes on mine. The two small black ones and the larger blue one in the hip/pelvis area.

Make double sure about this. Eying it up doesn't cut it (I tried) it could literally be just a step missed or something.

If it still isn't corrected, as I said before, ever so slightly widen the holes to accommodate the posts.
