Also can clip on weapons.

Isn't that DOTM Sideswipe's gun? Why does it say Spacecase?

ahhh, your right. I think it's cause spacecase was on my desk infront of the computer. "Damn decepticon putting subliminal messages in my head"

Are you sure it wasn’t Mindwipe?

DOTM Sandstorm has a battle suit mode

oh yeah, heard about that, but have yet to see a picture.(subtle hint)

Sorry, I tried to find one on Google but they didn't have it

Instructions

Have the figure in bot mode
fold down chair/chestplate
fold both frames one the sides of the chest down
fold the entire framework on the back down so that the head is covered and the three frame bars snap together
it will have a big dune buggy style cockpit
and insert the human and badda boom you're done

Unfortunately i dont have it but with a picture as an aid i get the gist of it...
however, did find these cool pics of a combined battle suit/tank mode with thunderhead:
battle suit
tank-thing
"Sandstorm's MechTech peg fits into Thunderhead's gun slot." apparently

Nifty!

Well, I'm sorry. you see I don't have Thunderhead and so I never could combine them

Titanium Ultra Magnus's chest opens to reveal a perfectly matrix-shaped compartment. Does anyone know if there's a matrix that fits into it?

Also I found another thing Cybertron Shortround does: post-modernism! I read his bio the other day and as far as I know he's the only Transformer ever who collects TF figures! Extra weird, given he's a figure-only character...

try Cybertron Optimus Prime or the battle in space two pack matrix (which might I add, cannot be held by either of them)

Might this one work do you think? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRANSFORMERS- ... 4aae1ba8d1

it's hard to tell as there's no size comparison, but going by the level of detail it looks like it might be the same size as the Battle In Space one.
Man, I was never interested in that 2 pack, but now I want it just for the matrix! And it's a pretty cool Cyclonus too actually.

It is, I think, the most G1 accurete version released in the US

What? His bio doesn't say anything about collecting. It just says he's a nerd.

Have a look at it again on the Transformers or Hasbro website. It might be the extra bit of information you get after entering the cyber key code, I'm not sure. But it's definitely there. It is. I'm not crazy...

It's indeed part of his unlocked Cyber Key content, meant to reference G2 Defensor and G2 Menasor.

All this time with leader class animated bulkhead and I was constantly wondering why his arm pegs wouldn't go into his body peg holes.
after he had been broken, shredded up, and used for parts, I was fiddling with (what was left of) what I considered a dissapointingly floppy figure, and his chest popped up, allowing for his arms to pop in perfectly.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
Anyway, moral of the story, Bulkhead's arm mod is better left un-done....

RailRacer's weaponry can be stored on his back, as well as form over the shoulder style weapons.

Also, this whole "Cyclonus" Blade thing? It breaks the figure to my knowledge. Id'e like to see picks that back up that theory though.

Please tell us where, the stupid hands won’t hold them

TELL ME!!!!

Chill dude, everything is going to be okay! Lol

Railracer's guns can peg into the smaller figures' hands when they're folded against his back in combined mode.

I'm not sure if there's some kibble rearranging involved, I pretty much just loosely follow the instructions and arrange the kibble however it looks best to me.

OK!!!!!!
BTW, to make him hold his guns, insert the thumb into the square hole in the gun.

And thank you too!!!

No worries. And I learned something new too, I didn't know there was a secure way for him to hold the guns.

on armada cyclonus, or at least on mine, it is possible to yank the rotor blade off, leaving I belive just a pinning peg, and then the rotor blade can attatch oto any minicon port.

Thanks again, they now look way cooler, then sitting next to them on the self

I finally relized yesterday, that ROTF Breakdown/RTS Oil Pan mold has ball jointed wrists, so you can have him look cool by having him: Scratch behind his head and look confused, clasp his hands evily, make it look like he is singing in an opera, (while I use the first two for display, I still haven't found a use for the last one )

The bottom of his hands have c-clips, juuust in case you didn't know or read it before.

Hey cool! I never noticed!

you can make a Guiltaur with WFC Prime

Place Animated Swindle's arm cannon or other big gun, into Prime's left arm hole

fit DOTM Laserbeak's guns into the holes on his back kibble

put the Energon Omnicon Strongarm mold axe into his hand and then fold the hand down, so that it looks kinda like G1 Prime's enrgy axe

and maybe if you're picky, put a different head on
