It was too easy.

Who the hell are they?

It was kinda hard NOT to activate his spring-loaded feature! It was always popping out! I removed the springs...just made it floppy.
Anyhow, that's tailpipe and pinpointer. Their on the top of my HA Basics want list

They are very cool, don't be dicouraged by his mega-goggles.

Seconded. I love how the targetmaster can ride Tailpipe's bike mode, and then Tailpipe can ride a bigger bike like 2007 Movie Arcee.

Mine are extremely tight. I also just found WFC Cliff has Primes double blade setup. I feel dumber and dumber.

I love how they both have vaguely erotic names.

Love your sig!

Here's a little question for you guys: How many of you know that Sidearm Sideswipe's feet can twist in a full circle?

And it looks like they were meant to be turned 180 degrees (or half of a circle) as the angle of his legs flows seemlessly down to his feet that way.

I thought everyone already knew? It's part of his transformation, leave them the other way, and he just looks strange... The armor panels over the fronts of his feet are what gave it away for me. The only variation of that mold I own is the wal mart blue one though
twist them that way and pull his little spikes in and his feet are perfection.

I just like the wheels more on the inside of the legs, so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

I did not know that! Does Ryan have it the right way in the gallery? I should go take a look...

It actually looks more movie accurate with the wheels inwards and the toe tucked behind Looks like he is only balancing on his wheels, and he's still pretty stable this way.

Human alliance roadbuster's human can't balance on his back mounted gun worth a damn, but it's all good, you can pull one of his shoulder seats down and have the little guy holding the rocket launcher instead!

Who knew that G1 Squeezeplay, like all Headmasters, has a hatch in which you can place the Headmaster when the TF is in alt mode? Well, I knew, but the person who I bought mine from obviously didn't... I received it today, complete with instructions, gun, tail and Lokos the Headmaster. And when I opened up the (actually very well hidden) hatch, what do I find... A second perfect Lokos Headmaster figure!
Previous owner must have gone to some trouble 'replacing' the head which in actual fact was just hidden very well indeed! I also wonder how long the second Lokos figure was locked up in Squeezeplay's body. Years? Who knows...

That must have been one very gassy hatch.

GEN Scourge has little C-Clip bars on his plane modes "Armpits"

Tailpipe has a pretty cool walker mode



and 2007 dreadwing comes with his own display stand built in (Seibertron galleries show it used in robot mode, but not jet mode)


He can even tilt to a certain degree without falling over

Yeah, i only got in to TFs during that time.. BUT i still managed to get my hands on Classics 1.0... due to a Asian restock. Which included reisusse Soundwave!

A really minor note, but on the orange power shovel arm Steamhammer has, you have two black pieces sticking up: one making up the actual arm, the other just idling there on a spring. You can actually tuck the smaller piece under the longer one so that it stays in place. The result? Not only does it make the arm a bit more stable, but the entire shoulder looks far better and more symmetrical with the other one.

The Fallen's arms CONNECT to his body, like in the film and CGI Renders!

Iv'e known this for quite some time, I just forgot to mention it. Nobody else mentioned it either, and it's easily missed, so I hope people find this useful!
Oh, and even this version's face is removable, there's just no skull underneath.

Yeah, Cryote-I mean the Blue Fallen can do that as well
