I didn't realise that you can remove the scope and barrel on the tiny Megatron that comes with MP Optimus. Ffffffffffffff...

I didn't realize until getting the Blurr remold that Drift has a hinge on his back where you clip the sword in. It does absolutely nothing(and is hard to move without usings Blurr's rifle), but hey it's a hinge and not just a clip.

The hinge allows you to pivot the sword/rifle back so it doesn't get in the way of the legs. It's also double-hinged, so it pulls outwards from the back.

The result gives you some mechanical bits to look at thru the chest windows, instead of the front bumper of a truck. How nice, except that I've had this guy for about 5 years and I just realized this.

I think the instructions say to rotate it so the chrome side is hidden but I prefer the look of the chrome parts through the window. The other side looks too dull.

Me too, plus the screws on that side look bad.

You won't be sorry... haha. Wreck-gar is very happy with the arrangment. Can't wait for bike Arcee to add more variations. Her spider skirt goes over the back of wreck-gar's bike mode too, sorta modifying him.. and conjoining them.

I realized how freaking awesome WFC Prime looks holding Drift's short swords tonight. I was playing around with arming him up with all the extra guns I could find and thought I'd give it a shot to see if he could hold the swords with his fists folded in. The results wowed me.






And that he can hold the ion blaster from the IGear Faith Leader Prime that was meant for the classics Prime.

Whose nullrays are those. They are Dirge's or do you have one of the older dirges/thundercrackers?

I was experimenting with putting TF's weapons in other TF's hands, and discoevered how incredibly awesome WFC soundwave looks with one of Universe Optimus Primal's swords.

They are from the new Generations TC. He finally arrived today from BBTS and his blue happens to be pretty close to WFC Prime.

oh wow...lucky you, with your shiny new TC. I actually am a little jealous, and I dont even want the three seekers lol

I've never owned anything from this mold before. I gotta say... I like it, a lot, and I wish I'd bought two now.





I still love the swords look on Prime. He looks like a psycho-bot Jason Voorhees sneaking up on TC.

"GIVE ME YOUR FACE! And those null rays, too, those look kinda cool..."

I just found out the Sword on BW Neo Longracks arm is removable. I was wondering why the sword had a handle. I thought it was attached by a hinge.

All you had to say. I love the small weapons from that mold, Drifts small swords and Blurr's pistols. In fact, I liberated them from my son's Drift and Blurr for use in my display.

I got Generations Whelljack today and I found out his wrnches clip in the the back off his legs for storage

i discovered after a while of trying that rts percys gun can not come off
i also discovered that clipping wreck-gars axe-thingy into his hand gives his hand stress marks
i now just slide the end exhaust bit in
oh yea nd i also dicovered that i can't find a way for perceptors back/arm/bonnet piece to lock or clip in in robo modo

That if you swap Generations red alert's parts with classics sideswipe's parts, you get two really good looking figures. I'm late.

THIS. Exact same here.

Though for RTS Wreck-Gars spike thingy you can clip it onto the silver discs on 'Ceptors forearms, though that may cause the chrome to chip over time.

United/RTS Tracks' legs pull out a little more than I thought, which makes him appear less short and stumpy.

My friend owns a TFA Jazz figure and he and I discovered that his hand panels have to be rotated 180 degrees. I also discovered that you can turn this little piece on his chest down so that the car-front would be correctly down.

First week I had my Voyager ROTF Ratchet I mistransformed him slightly. So his windshields ended up on his wheels sides. And all that time I couldn't figure out why his cabine's roof was so moveable.

And not so much of a discovery: I posed my Deluxe ROTF Soundwaves panels so that they formed kind-of forward-swept-wings

I just realized Generations Scourge has a rear landing gear but it such a pain in the arse to get out.

They can have sex!

Fixed.

I just discovered the other day that G1 Swoops arms extend. I was always too afraid to try.
