Agreed.
I kinda wanted him, but his feet are so tiny :-(

Is that supposed to be a bug mode for him or somthing? And whats the deal with airplane food?

As for ROTF Bludgeon:
If you happen to have a Resistance video game Steelhead figure, his rifle can be placed in Bludgeons fist, but it won't stay tight unless you turn the fist as if transforming it into the forearm (don't worry, it still looks cool

)

Also, I took 2 toothpicks and taped them together, stuck some black tape to the top of one, and placed a

sticker on it like a flag. The amount of girth it provides allows you to fit it into the wakasashi sheath hidden inside the turret, and sticks up nicely in robot mode. Might go somewhere on vehicle mode but I'm not sure yet.

WHAT-evurrr

If you mean the fact that a car is riding a motorcycle, well, I pretty much don't consider oil slick an earth-mode bike. Hes just a cybertronian bike who took on some earth aesthetic since it pleased him. :grin:

OK, that works for me!

I finally pulled my BotCon 2011 Stunticons out of the box the other day, and until I transformed Motormaster I never knew that mold's legs extend. There's even a step in the directions for Prime, and I just skipped over it or something. So for the last year, my Animated Prime was a midget. Without the extension, he's barely taller than WFC Prime. After I transformed Motormaster I stood the 2 next to each other and thought "WTF? It's the same mold!" Then I realized the mistake.

Also, until I transformed Dead End, I never knew Animated Jazz's nun-chucks flip back on his arm in robot mode.

Yeap

, but so far, I like the way Animated Blackarachnia looks on Wreckgar most... its just sexy

WFC Bumblebee also looks pretty good riding.

found a quick and easy way to fix leader Ironhide's head:

1. twist the head to break the glue connection, now it will turn. this shouldn't break anything, but attempt at your own risk!

2. the head now being loose, can be removed by pulling it toward the chest and sliding it out of the channel it sits in. be careful not to sever the wires lest disable the voice feature!

3. engage the faceplate by pushing the lever on the back of Ironhide's noggin. re-insert the head into its seating with the faceplate hooked under the lip of the front of his chest.

Viola! the head is now pose-able, and doesn't look like crap!

It took me over a year to realise that Cybertron Shortround's arms could open up into lobster claws - much cooler than waving around what look like a couple of bits of pipe, which was what he'd been doing up until then...

Yesterday I was transforming Classics Bumblebee and you can take his spoiler off! It gives him a rounder look in vehicle mode

Yeah, a lot of people with both Classics Bee and Classics Cliffjumper would remove Bee's spoiler but leave it on CJ, just for a little more difference.

Wow, I never knew that! Time to give mine some hands/claws. I always thought the noodle bits were supposed to be his hands and just required imagination.

Whoa, I had no idea about classics Bee's spoiler.

I learned about RTS Wreck-Gar's automorph feature in the right leg after breaking mine. Luckily I was able to find another one. I also learned that the wheel on his shoulder is designed to swivel downwards like a shield. It's mentioned in the instructions but for some reason all the stock images and even the final frame of the instructions leave that step out.

DotM voyager Megatron's black grill clips into a hole on the head-facing side of the shoulders.

I can't believe none of you guys didn't knock the spoiler off while trying to attach the jet pack. It happens nearly every time for me!

by **Godzillabot Primal** » Tue Jul 26, 2011 12:08 pm

Wow! Looks like I found something that most of the others didn't!

Well I am very glad that I could reveal something that most of you had yet discovered

PS: Not a gimmick, but if you use Recon Ironhide's long range sniper rifle on TFU Hound...its pretty awesome
