This is probably one of those things that everyone already knows about and I simply missed it.

I just pulled my original ultra class Optimus Primal out of storage and found out he has little switches on his upper arms that change how his chest-beating gimmick works. I always thought they were simply some odd design choice, but I guess they actually had a function!

I havent seen a video review to say it yet but CW Leader Class Megatron has a molded spark chamber:


Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Megatron Gallery

MP Tracks has one, too:

I didn't know that. It's a shame it just makes him dance like a Cockney.

No kidding! Lol

I never realized Combiner Wars Dragstrip's spoiler can be folded up to make a smaller leg

I've found that Superion is the CW combiner that can hold the most armaments mine currently holds Menasor's blade on his back with Defensor's rifle storing on his legs and both his own and Maximus Convoy's rifles in hand (Maximus Convoy is what I'm calling the CW Optimus Maximus/Ultra Prime combiner because both of those names sound stupid to me) also Hot Spot can do the base mode and Alpha Bravo can store the propellor blades in two slots on his back

How did you even do that without bending the plastic like crazy? o_O;

Simple I popped off the rotor blades and slid them in

I can't remember if I've posted this to here or not (and if I have, please, by all means tell me) but I've had Generation Legends Starscream since he came out, and I didn't realize until just recently that his boosters/feet split in half ( so the booster half is separated from the foot half). I thought you just had to balance him on his back wings. When I found out, I thought I had broken him.

P.S. We have MST3K emojis??!?!?!?!?!?!? What?????? How did I miss this memo?

anyone know scorn could do this? kinda bw megatron

Here's a better pic of this that I've been meaning to do for some time now this turret mode spurred from random screwing around after seeing a review of a 3rd party mp Galvatron where the reviewer said the world needs more Galvatron and well there you go

I never realized Perceptor had a tank mode

Yeah, and it rolls beautifully!

Yep and G1 Megatron's accessories are designed to have a seat for a Microman to sit on too. Though you could put Revoltech or Actionmaster Megatron on it too for fun I guess.

I used the tank mode quite a lot with Magnificus and also when comparing the mould to the KFC toys versions.

Wait. What? KFC make toys now? I thought they were into delicious fried chicken.

It's the only way I can get near the thing for a while...
Sigh...

I just found out that FT Soar has extra flip out heels in dino mode.

Hey guys! Mindmaster showed me this and I took some pics of my Swindle to show this off. You can plug Swindle, and by extent Hound's gun, into his shoulder area where his backpack is! It slots in using the 2 little tabs on the end into that area right beside the hinge. It's a little bit tight, but you can sand it down to fit better, but I didn't and it still works awesome. This gives you a shoulder cannon for both, and helps make Hound look more accurate!

Nice one. You just made me want Hound.

Yay! he looks like a character that we can enjoy too

I'm skipping the combaticons but I'll be sure to get Houd. Especially with that reveal!
