So simple, yet I never thought about doing that. Good find.

I saw a customised version of this, just thought i'd like to share Lugnut's scorpion mode, wich, I guess if you did this with atomic Lugnut, it'd be a good Animated Scorpinok, with a bit of work mind you.

FP notKickback can hold G1 Shrapnel's gun. None of the other nonInsecticons can and it's the only weapon I've found that any of them can hold.

Not taking credit for the discovery, (WarzoneBeta found it) But you can flip down Soundwave's nosecone kibble on his legs and form stronger heels

That's not a thing everyone does...? xD I just assumed that was how it was supposed to be.

I guess I'll try that, but won't that make his heels look huge?

Small price for added stability

Awesome. I'm trying that ASAP.

Mine's seemingly stable enough, but it's worth a try!

The Wreck-Gar shield is totally awesome, I've been doing that for awhile now.

I haven't found stability to be an issue and I think the huge heels looks a bit odd on such a slim character.

How did you do that? Does the whole assembly come off?

The ball joint in the suspension is there for a reason

After trying it, I agree!

Well mine must be weird

PRID Arcee's cannon can slot over almost any Classics figure and look wonderfully flush

Now all we need is a Jack Darby in HA size. Of course, robot mode would be terribly out of scale...

So yeah, HFTD Brawn has hammers on his arms, and gun storage! Who knew?

PRID Soundwave has incredibly tiny landing gear.

Also, Laserbeak can be configured into a claw weapon by putting him over Soundwave's hand backwards.

Gotta try that! Also if you take Alpha-Q's cannon, it fits very well in PRID Arcee's hands and you can get downright badass poses

I was gonna make a separate thead for this, but that was before I knew about this.

My big gripe with Prime Wheeljack is that he's got no guns. I can see Wheeljack being given a pair of swoprds, and surely the Wreckers would want another intelligent mind building them a bigger stick, but Wheeljack has no guns!

Die Autobot!

I tried a few differnet placements with Generations Jack's gun, and the edge of the Prime swords will fit in a 3mm clip, but I just didn't like the way that hung on his vehicle mode. And then one night, I said to myself "Self, his roof canopy opens up, what if...

What the...?

I could set the gun into there?

Crap. Run!

And it turns out, that Wheeljack will do me one better. See, there's actually enough plastic, and room for wedging in the crux of his sunroof/shoulder fins that the 3mm clip will snugly wrap around it.

Do note, that in order to hinge up those fins, ou do need to undo the seem formed by Wheeljack's hatchback shoulders, and this will partially dslodge the seam formed by his window forearms. The missle launcher gun, providing that the hinge on the gun itse;f is stiff enough, will freely pose on that little plastic nub,

enabling him to sprout an anti-aircraft missile,

Autobots aren't allowed to BE that well armed!

Or pull a James Bond

So now, I suspect all of you will be rushing out ad arming your Wheeljacks to the Teeth. Have fun!

That's for stealing my alt mode...

Cool! *Get out of chair to grab both wheeljack fig's*

NOt sure if this has been brought up, DOTM Guzzle can hold his cannon as a mace weapon

It notches in and is pretty snug.

Impressive, however in looking at mine, I'd be afraid of taking it off the turret lug too many times, if you stress -warp that plastic too much, it may not snugly fit back on that joint after a while. Proceed with caution?

Takes a while to get them attached though; some patience required.

So very much worth it though! I was thinking just the other day, "I wonder if/what they'll do with any of Soundwave's other partners?" Those are Perfect Effect Frenzy and Rumble, right?

On another note, I really hope they release Generations Frenzy and Rumble at some point.
