I got an incomplete energon Rapid run last year off Craigslist and just yesterday discovered he has a head. :HEADHURTS:

Same with his side-switch gimmick.

Apparently my airachnid can shape shift :grin:

FOC Starscream's "fins" can come off the top, and if it does, you can place his combined weapons there. There's even a hole on top of the combined weapon where you can put the fins.

Here's a list of things I never noticed about some Transformers when I first got them. These features were discovered many months after buying them, sometimes even years!

1.) Movie 07 Deluxe Barricade's foot spikes.
2.) Movie 07 Voyager Blackout's front landing gear.
3.) Animated Leader Megatron's front landing gear (Can't believe I had missed something so obvious).
4.) Cybertron Ultra Wingsaber's guns and swords can actually be pegged into the sides of his arms.
5.) Cybertron Supreme Starscream's blaster sound effect that's triggered by pressing a button on the top of one of the air vent things to the side of his head.
6.) ROTF Deluxe Arcee and Chromia's 'combiner' ports.

Not anything big, but it's in the spirit of the last post.
Beast Hunters Smokescreen's brakes are molded in, it's definitely a nice touch.

WFC BB's thighs have panels that you can fold out, adding detail.

It recently hit me, the deluxe BH Predacon designs are actually homages to the RID Predacons (albeit now they're all dragons of some sort).

Lazerback is Slapper.
Ripclaw is Gas Skunk (though the colors are obviously way off).
Skystalker is Dark Scream.

This actually makes me like the new guys a lot more, lol.

Yeah I REALLY don't see it, you'll have to explain that one. :-?

I'm not talking maybe-BH Bulkhead-is-a-snake maybe-kinda see it. I'm talking I just don't even know where you came up with that.

Lazerback and Skystalker have...vaugely similar color schemes I guess... But their personalities are all completely backwards, so I'm at a total loss.

Yeah, I'm not seeing that one either. Can you give us a bit more info as to how they resemble each other.

And even then, who would be Skybite? Dreadwing?
IMO the only homage is Predaking, as he homages Cybertron Scourge.

Isn't it just a pair of wheels on his gun? There's no concealed gear, is there?

This one's hard to notice, but the cockpit has front landing gear that can only be deployed when the gun is detached.

My niece was messing around with Dotm deluxe bumblebee and noticed he had c clips on his arms, I never noticed it on mine until she pointed it out.

Yes, I went and found it. How weird, maybe it's left over from a previous design because it's really obvious there's a bit missing if you take away the gun, and his nose points down at a silly angle.

I never thought I'd discover one of these since other people usually discover the secrets of most of the toys I want before I even get them, but I found one. Cyberverse Prowl's lightbar is removable, and has a short 3mm peg. This leaves a peghole on top of Prowl you can plug things into, and means you can pass the lightbar around to any of your other Cyberverse toys who want to play cop.

That looks awesome.

Speaking of unofficial combinations, there's Energon Abominus (who I just need another Cruellock and 2 more Divebombs to complete!)

I'm still surprised by how many people (including and especially REVIEWERS!) don't realize that. I found that out after a total of thirty seconds of having it in hand. :lol:

In all fairness, I just got him today and also discovered that fairly quickly. Maybe not thirty seconds, but within a few seconds of getting him in vehicle mode.

Huh I wasn't aware of that either, thanks.

Yes, somewhere back in the first few pages someone's only post was something like "my cars have people parts inside!".
