Battle Blades bee's legs swing back and away from his lower torso on swiveling extended plastic bits. Just grab by the thigh and pull back, its wierd.
Thundertron can hold his sword in his mouth in lion mode.

Re: Things your Transformers can do that you never realised
It really annoys me that I had just found out that Cybertron Leader class Optimus Prime's knees can be shifted outwards when going into robot mode, after owning the figure for 7 years, and never noticing that. Thank you ssjautobot. You have filled in a hole in my life that I didn't know needed filling.

Huh. I didn't know that either. I must try it immediately. Nice catch.

Huh, that's probably a great use for those! Shame I don't have any.
After only one try and scared to death, I will never pull those arms off and put them back on over and over again. So I use Kreon humans' body (from other sets) for combiners since those humans are absolutely useless.

I thought I knew about this but upon looking at mine it seems I did not! I think it looks better without that shift though.

I've just been playing with Cybertron OP and found that the wheels over his hips can fold up. I suppose it's to allow him more hip movement but it gets in the way of his arms.

I don't really see any purpose with folding up those wheels. Maybe it's a part of the flight mode, but it just looks silly.

Pretty sure it's just to allow his legs to move from outwards from the hip.

Speaking of Cybertron OP, it was a while before I realized that his chest panels are supposed to be open in alt mode to make the side windows and cover up those empty spaces. That figure is full of surprises isn't it?

Since I was watching the TV show before I got the figure, I already knew they could do that, since I saw them in the show.

I just realised my RotF Mixmaster has a poseable middle finger.
And that Hasbro's "Battle Mode" may actually be incorrect (and shows a possible assembly error to boot), and that TakaraTomy's not only looks different, but also is arguably the correct one as it incorporates some otherwise unused pegs and holes (and uses the assembled toy as is).
Anybody have a copy of the TakaraTomy instructions for the guy?

Re: Things your Transformers can do that you never realised
I just became aware of how BM Mega Cheetor's action feature can appear in his robot mode. However due to the child friendly nature of the boards, I probably should avoid going into specifics.

Cybertron Vector Prime's right arm makes a sound effect when you lift it up. I already knew this, but I didn't know that the sound changes when you plug in the cyber key.

All very correct, and... yes apparently! Tfwiki appears to be wrong about one thing, the instructions still exist online.

As it's the only pair of wheels that fold up and they get in the way of the guns I'd say it has nothing to do with flight mode.

Dammit, Onslaught broke my few year no-broken-tfs streak.
Based on my own personal childhood experience I'd be tempted to call that a G1 homage.
EDIT: Yeah, so, I just did my annual catch up on this thread, hence quoting a post from weeks ago. I'm still surprised this thread is going after I started it so many moons ago!

Well, tried the "battle mode" and truth be told, it looks more like garbled afterthought of a mess. I'll be keeping my G1-colored Mixmaster aka Ol'Lefty in robot mode.

In other RotF Constructicon news, I just found out Voyager Demolishor has "finger" joints in his shovel. Thing is, the joint is really tight and utterly useless overall. But they're there...

Thanks to the glory of the 5mm, peg, Generations Thundercracker's (and i'd assume any Classics Seeker mold you may have) null rays can be used on Generations/FoC Starscream.

SICK BURN.
Although, yeah, I'm actually more shocked when TFs DON'T use the 5mm peg. It's pretty much the standard for mainline deluxes/voyagers and has been for a damn long time.

Pretty much? No, it's the straight out standard and has been for years. Bin/Alt and Alternity are the only line that don't use them, but Bin/Alt predates the idea I think.
