there are some TFs i have that came with no guns or crappy guns that i have either given them a custom gun or a gun from another TF or another action figure. i have a generations warpath and im getting a DOTM sandstorm just for his gun to give to warpath. i made guns for classics bumblebee, my custom classics beachcomber and countless movie figures. so what combinations do you guys have? share some pics of the TFs that you weaponized

i would love to see what weapons you gave em

I have certain figures that have two guns. In such a case, I'll let the figure without a gun "borrow" the other figure's second gun. However, certain figures like Warpath, IMO, don't really need a gun. The guy has shoulder mounted missiles and a freaking tank cannon sticking out of his chest. Really, why does he even need a gun? Other figures, like Classics Bumblebee, really look bad without some type of fire arm. If I'm not satisfied with a substitute gun, I just leave them in alt mode.

But really, there aren't that many figures out there that DON'T have a gun. Actually, I think classics BB and the majority of Legends class figures are the only Transformers that I can think of (off hand) that don't have some type of weaponry (arm mounted weapons, weaponized hands, Cannons, shoulder missiles, guns, swords, knives, etc.).

i guess a TF HAS to have a hand held gun. its a pet peeve for me i guess. but HFTD hailstorm is a no no. he needs no hand held gun. but i gave ROTF sideways a gun, and his repaint, i have ROTF grindor and TFTM blackout guns, scout classes i gave guns if they did not have em.

i figure they don't need to hold a gun at all times. police and military although armed aren't walking around with their guns out if they're not expecting to engage an enemy. i actually find it more annoying that most figures don't have a place to stow their guns when in robot mode

Warpath is a gun.

But Sandstorm is a great TF, so go ahead and get this guy anyway.

The one guy I want to find a gun for it RTS Prime. I don't mind if they have a sword but they have to have a gun. And he has odd hands. I've tried most of my guns and nothing fits. Any ideas?

I've been using DOTM Topspin's roof guns as a pair of handguns.

I actually get cheapo knockoffs and use their guns. Thanks to that freaky $1 Prime knockoff a while back, I have a BUNCH of Optimus Prime guns and axe type weapons with the right size pegs... but that DOES cause problems.

"Cliffjumper! What in the WORLD are you doing with MY gun?"

"Umm... mine wasn't big enough, Prime?"

I just give um guns from G1 predaking. i leave that in combined mode and it results in 8 extra guns :lol:

I hardly ever buy TFs with no guns. When I open Warpath I'd like to see if I can make a combinable weapon from his side mounted thingies.

Sometimes figures have too many guns (IMPOSSIBLE! I hear you cry) like deluxe Classics Megatron. His gun went to Cliffjumper.

I love this, a TF is only as good as the gun it's packin'. Yes there are acceptions like Drift. His blades all around sucked including his limpdick long sword. So now he weilds the Takara Energon sword that was Kicker's and it's perfect for United Drift.

I do a lot of crazy **** so I ordered the Devil Horns Custom kit for CJ for the guns alone cuz I knew they would work for someone. Wheeljack IMO needed a gun so the pistol in the kit worked perfect since both WJ and Tracks cannot just hold any gun. I think it sux for a TF to have open hands, they will never know the feel of pulling the trigger knocking off a few

or

....'nuff said! :VEHI:

If anyone needs a BFG for their deluxe, voyager and LC DOTM figure, Definitively get HA Basic Whirl! he turns into some type of hand held chin gun or howitzer, LC Sen Prime is holding him now with shield in hand. Looks good.

I have more than enough weapons and weapon sets I've accumulated over the years. The amount of Classics Prime guns I've accumulated is kind of crazy.

The only ones in my collection who I feel REALLY need guns but don't have them are Classics BB and Cliffjumper. Bee is still in his packaging, but Cliffjumper now has both DOTM Skyhammer and DOTM deluxe BB's mechtech weapons.

Classics Mirage occasionally "borrows" my 1/144 FG Gundam 00 Dynames' sniper rifle.
