You can unscrew HFTD Ironhide's attached weapon and move it out, it's loose without the screw but it looks better when displayed.

From another thread, I discovered leader Sentinel Prime has a robot mode MechTech feature. If you put his shield into the blaster mode, put one MechTech peg into the port on his right shoulder (the one that activates sound effects) and put another peg into the port on the side of his arm (well, by first raising the arm up and turning the side with the port up) the gun fits perfectly on his arm and shoulder. Also, if you press the grey button that normally makes siren noises, it instead makes a blaster noise, and it will continue "firing" as long as you hold it down. Also, if you press the button on his chest, he now says "Good to see you alive, Optimus" and "What has happened to the Allspark?". Of course, the electronics work with any MechTech weapon, too, and the blaster can also plug into his left arm and shoulder, but no new electronics will be unlocked.

Also, I discovered both DOTM deluxe Bumblebee and Sideswipe have ports under their hood for shoulder cannons in robot mode, and Bumblebee also has two small hidden guns under his car roof.

Yeah I noticed that on Sideswipe the other day. I don't have Bumblebee though, not yet anyway.

Also, his mouth moves upon button press, so you can sorta puppet him saying the words..if... you wanted to be kinda creepy around company.

I take it you've never transformed him then

Yeah I know that you have to move it in the insructions, what I was getting at was the fact that his head can move up and down

I think it's just so that he can open and close his mouth.

Okay evedently everybody already knows this, sorry! :oops:

I discovered that DOTM Deluxe Starscreams MECHTECH weapons can be fitted into Movieverse Voyager Ratchet's weaponhole on his left hand. and Vice/versa (though it looks stupid).

NOTE I don't know, but I suppose all MT weapons can be fitted to Ratchet. Screamer IS my only MECHTECH and DOTM so far.

Generations Thunderwing has leg thigh swivels. I know some of you probably know this, but I didn't until I got the figure, and searched online to find out that if I put a little force, they actually do swivel.

That's okay, it's things YOU never realized, not things no one else realized. :grin:

I recently got the DotM Target Exclusive repaint of the RotF Starscream mold (my first time owning the mold) and after playing with him for a while I realized his front landing gear is twice as long as I thought. What I thought was the wheel is actually another joint which allows you to rotate another portion of the landing gear down.

I point this out because it seems easily missed and the Seibertron galleries of both RotF and Nebular SS both miss it as well.

That on the side of dotm shockwave's gun there are holes where you can keep the mechtech weapon open

News Credits: 4 · by **_I_Am_Megatron_** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 10:39 pm

Again the holes on the side thing. I don't get it, you mean the hole that the bottom clips into?

The one that clips his grey mechtech button onto the cannon to lock the cannon

I Just realized HFTD's seaspray's shoulder flap can fold back.

Before

After

This clears up loads of friction between the arms and jetpacks :lol:

When you transform dotm laserbeak into vehicle mode when youre putting the neck in the bodie the part on silver piece can pushed down hard enuogh it will click into place.

Also dotm crankcase can have wheels for feet like sideswipe.

by **Godzillabot Primal** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:45 am

Some of the PCC five-pack drones can pose a little bit

All of the Rallybots have possible Minicon points and the blue one has a possible fin-thingy :???:

The Dinobot Dimetrodon (even though Dimetrodon actually is not a dinosaur :-x

) tail can move

All the Combaticons weaponry can rotate, except for the huge missile launcher (which I think is compensating for something :lol:

)

Not sure if anybody mentioned it or not (sorry, reaallly loooong thread going on here :))

, but most Beast Wars figures (particularly Hasbro versions) have parts that glow under a black light, usually their eyes for beast and/or robot mode and sometimes more. The big orange "Beast Wars" word/logo on the packaging also glows
