Well this is my first post here and I decided to show off my way of "fixing" CW Rodimus' Wing.

Here is Rodimus from the front:

And here he is with the wing on:

Now how did I do it?
I did what Hasbro should have done in the first place:

Why could they not add two little holes to make the wing stay in place? As you can see the modifications don't hinder the alt mode:

I marked the locations and used a small drill bit to drill 2 sets of small holes and the used a mini file to shape them.

So what to you guys think?

That's an excellent fix - and welcome to the boards, too!

You should have a chat with shajaki and carytheone, the latter did a different fix for the same issue here: combiner-wars-rodimus-now-with-more-hot-rod-t104727.php

have you considered removing the shaft too, since you don't really need it in robot mode now and it prevents the wings from angling into the slots in vehicle mode?

I'd keep the handle, Roddy needs his vehicle cannon

I've considered removing the shaft. Just haven't decided yet.

Nice job on the mod Hitokirikai. Roddems looks really great with the fin that low. I've always felt my mod put it too high.
