I found that Deluxe Movie Drift has a place to store both his swords and his daggers on his rear-most panel. The daggers, obviously, plug into the holes use the hexagons on the side of the crossguard. The swords have two holes about a third of the way down the blade that match two rectangular pegs on bottom of the same panel the daggers plug into.

AoE Galvatron's backpack can be used as an actual backpack.

I bought the Reveal the Shield 2 pack with repaints of Classics Rodimus and Cyclonus.

It also came with a little metal Matrix.

I didn't think much of it, but I was playing around and found it actually fits perfectly inside the chest of G1 Optimus Prime.

Well, as said in the Toy Haul Thread before, Me and Will went to the flea market to hunt down some TFs. There was a big drill-thing

from the Cybertron line. Will didn't like it so I grabbed it instead. Sure, his transformation is basically him lying down on his stomach but still, his bot mode was awesome enough. He had his cyberkey but a broken tab for his claw. I knew it was from the Giant Planet so he must have a minicon., No minicon in sight. So, I basically haggled his price down to 12$ (from 14$).

Once at the bus stop, I fiddled whit it. I randomly discovered that his chest can open like some cockpit... and there he was, the minicon in all of his glory! I laughed and cheered as if I won the lottery Jackpot! Also, the minicon was perfect!

So, at home, I checked out who this TF was. Cybertron Menasor, 100% complete, in near perfect condition! For just around 10$!

That was a find that was WAY better than expected! :KREMZEEK:

Oh yeah, that was a cool feature. I really wish I hadn't broken him :BANG_HEAD:

. I guess it was the whole drills-are-kewl thing and his head sculpt that grabbed me

Once again, not a 'Things your Transformers can do..' but whilst browsing news features and forum posts, when there are spoliers which are greyed out, I always thought that I needed to log in to reveal the spoiler?

Of course I dont, I just need to highlight the text with the mouse which reveals the text!! 8-}

I need a cup of tea!

Damnit, now I really wish I hadn't lost my Evasion Mode Prime's gun. :sad:

You can fold beast hunters Megatron into a pretty convincing Sharkticon Gnaw. He now fits into my Classics shelf!

Yeah, for real. I'd love to see that.

Double post. Sorry.

Mon Jul 14, 2014 4:58 pm

I bought this guy on clearance specifically to see if I could figure out a way to get him into a passable Gnaw for my Classics shelf. It's not perfect but it works for me!

Honest to god, not until a few minutes ago did I realize you can rotate Fall of Cybertron Optimus Prime's smokestacks so that they face behind his vehicle mode and act as jet boosters rather than smokestacks.

I'm sure everyone and their dog figured this out already, but I didn't realize it til few minutes ago.

Animated voyager Starscream... His foreams have tidbits that can separate to make a EMP charger or something. The only way I discovered this is because I recently got a scrap one and I was fiddling with it to see what can detach by itself.

IIRC, the One Step Changer and Power Attacker figures are meant to ride the big one-step "Stomp and Chomp" Grimlock figure coming out in the fall, and that it'll be able to tell whether the figure riding him is Autobot or Decepticon and make different noises accordingly. If I had to guess, the toe tags are his way of telling friend from foe.

I have a Power Attacker Swoop, but no other simplified figures, so I'm not ready to do much speculating at this point... But are all the pins in the robot mode's right foot?

The Autobots all have a pin in their right foot, while Decepticons (and Lockdown) have it in their left foot.

I just realized that the "shoulder armor" parts on FE Arcee can be flipped back for a slightly more screen-accurate look! I know they're supposed to be "wings" on her back, but still, it looks nicer now.

Care to share some pics? I have a TFA voyager Starscream as well, and I can't wait to try out the EMP charger thing!

What you need to do is to slide the null rays foward. The "EMP charger" will then deploy. He have this gimmick on both arms.

Once again, after years of owning this toy, I only discovered this feature using a scrap voyager Animated Screamers to build THIS CUSTOM.

Did you know that the Classics and (original) MP Seekers can all fit the same weapons? So you can put MP Skywarps' guns on the arms of Classics Skywarp?
I just learned this this morning.

Voyager movie Grimlock's bizarre dino ears can be folded down, to make him look more like an actual T-Rex instead of some dino-dragon thing.

Sun Jul 20, 2014 2:55 pm

If you have both decos of bh voyager predaking he can have a makeshift elucidator and dark repulsor. Bonus points if you know the reference. The only problem is he can't store both.

You can fold up AOE Grimlocks ass/jaw up his back. There is a bit of scraping with some bits on the dino neck on his hip joints, but OMG he looks better without it sitting there. Plus his mace now stores beautifully!

Voyager AOE Hound's weird handguard things are glued in, but only loosely. With a bit of effort, you can slide them down his hand and off. They are able to be put back, and undoing the glue seems not to affect how tightly the piece is attached to the hand when on.

Thanks for the pic! Tried it out and he looks absolutely awesome!

BTW, that Pyroflash custom is probably the best re-purposing of a 2007 voyager Starscream toy I've ever seen.

You are an absolute evil genius, Kanrabat! I don't know how you come up with these ideas.
