If you have a silver Sharpie, and the patience/steady hand to poke it into a tight space, that Matrix looks really good colored.

the handle on MP rodimus's trailer cannon can be pulled out to give more clearance to fit roddy's fingers better

I didn't realize the Kreons peg size was roughly the same as legends..... not my Legends Optimus Prime has a more G-1 Look than before with Kreon Optimus Primes Gun.

Is that the Dollar store release? I'm asking because that version uses the GDO version (GDO Motorbreath) with the retooled hands.

I'm not sure JelZe...... I can honestly tell you I bought him in Florida about 2 years ago, but I can't remember what the store was called. I am very sure though it is the exact same mold, however not sure of the hand mold.

A sure way to tell is looking behind the head. If it has a peg hole, it's the GDO mold.

Ok, so after looking it has the peg on the top and came with the red sword. In the pic below it would be the one on the right. (not my pic btw)

messing about with Classics G2/tank Megatron and realised that the peg that holds his...thing on his arm is 5mm...so it'll fit Microns!

I just keep being blown away by ROTF Leader Optimus Prime. I just got him and I keep discovering a bunch of small slots that pieces can peg into, keeping the figure very tight with nothing dangling. Especialyl with that backpack of his which has a bunch of tiny ports.

Also, I just realized that Leader Starscream from HFTD can wrap his "neck" kibble over the wings in the back to secure them.

I just noticed on AoE Crosshairs that his elbows are supposed to bend backwards until they click into place for his transformation. Doing that makes everything fit together so much better in his alt mode.

Guys, better check your simpler AoE figures if you have them! Remember that Japanese clear Prime repaint that had that pin in the foot? The One Step and Power Attacker figures seem to have them as well according to Spada. What is up with that?

I don't have a clue what you're talking about! What does the pin do?

FoC Shockwave has an "ED-209" mode!

You have 30 seconds to comply!

I just realised that you can actually store one of AOE Slug's two swords under his belly in Dino mode.

IIRC, the One Step Changer and Power Attacker figures are meant to ride the big one-step "Stomp and Chomp" Grimlock figure coming out in the fall, and that it'll be able to tell whether the figure riding him is Autobot or Decepticon and make different noises accordingly. If I had to guess, the toe tags are his way of telling friend from foe.

I have a Power Attacker Swoop, but no other simplified figures, so I'm not ready to do much speculating at this point... But are all the pins in the robot mode's right foot?

I found that there is a crevice that they can slide into in each of the hind legs. It doesn't even impede the movement (such that it is) for those legs. I will post a picture later.

Yes, same spot as in the clear RtS Legends Prime repaint.

Because of MP-11, I discovered that my MP-03G have tiny flaps that lift from over the thrusters in jet mode. I only had my MP-03 for ever...

if you fold movie 1 voyager ironhide's smokestacks to where they line up with the hinge his windheild is on, he looks less weird.

If you swing AoE Strafe's wings up and forward, he can immitate Brimstome/Terra Shaver from Cybertron/Galaxy Force.

So the tfwiki says Evasion mode Prime has an undocumented feature. He should be able to store his weapon in robotmode, but I can't figure it out and can't seem to find a picture of it.

Anyone know how to do this?

News Credits: 4 · Thu Jun 19, 2014 1:02 pm

Maybe like this, it doesn't tab or plug into anything though.

Speaking of Strafe...

So that's what the pegs on the crossbow are for!

You an fold up the hood/headlight arrangement on TFP Smokescreen/Prowl to fit under his shoulder panels. Restricts elbow articulation, but gives either one more definition.
