Oh wow, that is so annoying how it just falls out like that. I keep worrying I'm gonna lose mine every time I transform OP.

I'm still missing Movie 1 Blackout's front wheel... Oh well, not that it's noticeable in either mode.

Voyager Megatron's black whatchamacallits can be removed for a cleaner truck and robot mode

It doesn't even touch the ground in helicopter mode!

Thats also true for other figures in hte Dark of the Moon line,like Ratchet.

Is it my imagination or are there a lot of people who seem unable to grasp the concept of standard 5mmm pegs and holes?

And they've been standard (for the most part) for 10 years!

DOTM Cyberverse Commander Blackout has a small peg in front of his propellor where Skorponok can store in robot mode when he's not a pistol. It takes some effort to do, but it makes it sad that the Legion class is more screen accurate than the voyager.

PRID Arcee's cannon fits very well over Deluxe two pack Optimus Prime's fist (Seriously, it is cool)

As I started typing this, I checked the gallery, and realised it's already known.
But I want to type something anyway.

RtS/United G2 Optimus Prime has a matrix molded on the inside panels which end up behind the windscreen in robot mode. I thought it was a really nice touch!

It's very hard to see on the RtS version thanks to the orange translucent plastic on black. I don't know how much easier it is to see on the United version.
On the bright side, SG Ultra Magnus uses colorless clear plastic so the (Reconfiguration) Matrix should be plain visible.

It wasnt the fact that they are 5mm peg holes. it's the fact that, If you look at Roadbuster's hands, they don't look like they can hold anything.

I'm sure I can't be the first to have noticed this, but I'll mention it anyway. I'm sure everyone that's familiar with Nitro BB is aware of the giant hollowness between his back and his backpack kibble. Well, I was fiddling with it and there's this tab on the hinge that connects the thruster-part to the top of the car. This tab will sit in a groove in the back of his pelvis quite nicely. It's right underneath of the screw-hole.

The result is a backpack that sits considerably closer to his back. There's still some hollowness, but it's greatly reduced. He does end up with a Warpath-esque flap behind his head, where the mechtech port on the altmode hood is.

So I haven't see any pics of this being done online, but on Prime: Soundwave, the feet seems to bother a lot of people, and the best solution until now, for me, has been to make the tip of the drone mode form a second contact point as support for the ankle. But instead of making the tip the contact point, you can rotate the uav hood piece upwards as far as it will go, and then bring the whole assembly arm rotated down so that the support contact point is flat (much flatter anyway than before) and you actually have kibble that isn't atrocious. Just looks like he has a large footprint and therefore a player .

I don't follow. Any chance of a photo?

you got it.... in about a few hours. hehe.
In the meantime, this is the first part of changing:

Once in that position on the feet, just rotate the connecting back piece down. See how the front of the drone has a bottom flat side? thats the side you want making contact with the ground.

Sorry to rain on your parade. But I already outlined the enhanced feet. (But yours explains it much better )

Found a way to allow any colored variation of the 2007 movie starscream mold to have realistic replicas of the G1 Seekers standard weapon a null ray.


But this trick is unique, i did with few Lego Brick. And it works well in both modes.

You'll need(you'll need twice the described ammount if you intend to use this on more than one 2007 jet voyager class starscream mold)

2x of this piece

4x of these black pegs

and lastly 2 of these angle connectors(they are needed to lock the pieces in place to your Seeker infantry as instructed)

-NOTE- Repeat twice for both arms


1- Grab your the intended transformer, (in my case i only had 2007 movie thundercracker) unfold the triangular missile rack and make sure to empty them if any missiles are in there.

2- First take the two long pieces of black pipes and attach one 3 cm long pegs, in each end on both pipes.

3- Grab one gun and attach it in the hole which is closest to the arm and elbow assembly of the transformer(if done incorrectly the full assembled version will flop around)
Once you have it the right hole... grab one of the angled pieces and connect it to the remaining end of the peg sticking out of the missile rack but make sure to fit it tightly.

Repeat twice for both arms


Also for decoration it works wonders if you add missiles in the remaining holes in the missile holders...and if you have movie 2007 swindle(orange car drone) or any variations of him you can take his arms and plug them into the tight space between the missile cannons at the end of his arms to give your seeker fists.

I might make pictures of my thundercracker later,but im too lazy to get my camera right now.

Just tried this out last night.
Using the smaller pegs that PCC mini-con Chainclaw has you can use him on Legends Animated Bumblebee. thus you can use Chainclaw as an extension port for additional mini-cons (too many will make him tip over though)

That doesn't look too bad, I might give it a try.

I found a way for you utilize your Crossfire Flameblast and Warcry figure with the combined form

The recipie for the Battle Gaia combination

1 Movie Reverb (For those of you lucky enough to have one)
1 Classics Brawl
1 Energon Barricade
1 Crossfire CA-02 Flameblast
1 Crossfire CA-01 Warcry
1 Crossfire 02B Combat Unit Munitioner set minus main figure.

Assemble the toy as would normally and you'll have yourself a third party Battle Gaia.

I don't own any of the toys. It just occured to me that the colors just worked. I can try to digibash a photo, but no promises
