No cam right now, but I picked him up day before yesterday and his nosecone had broken off from his body. Hadn't been moved from his spot on the shelf since I got him. Seeing a few other places where I'm expecting him to crumble as well.

Seriously? Pics please. This is scary, he's a great figure.

Ya its just the minicons and not the commanders or limbs. It would look somthing like this:

Drill mcon as legs
Rocket luancher mcon as torso
Engine mcon as upper bodie and legs
Ax mcon as canon arm
Huffers mcon as arm
The green light mcon as shoulder gun

Here's the video, it was a naming contest courtesy of Peaugh:

If the imbed doesn't work, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_c427HNbI

He talks about the contest for the majority of it, but skip to near the end and he shows how to combine them. Neato!

Alternity Seekers can stand to attention. Previously I could only get them to stand in a pose as they kept toppling backwards until I realised they have to ankle joints on each leg: the swivel joint for transformation and the ball joint. Push the swivel joint as far back as possible and they can stand properly.

Same story for WFC Prime: forwards for alt mode, backwards for stable robot mode.

(this happened c. 2005) When I first got Chase and Searchlight I thought they were regular G1 cars. When I was pulling back on them as if I was backing them up I thought the wheels were jammed. I let go for a microsecond and then lifted him up. The car moved a second and then the wheels kept spinning. And only then did I know the Throttlebots had pull back motors. I was such a newb >_<

DOTM Voyager Megatron's hood ornament can break off really easily if you aren't paying attention while you transform.

The minicon ports on PCC Caliburst stretch across DOTM Laserbeaks mechtech ports on the wings to center on his back while the leg ports on PCC minicon pinpoint stretch across the feet mechtech ports in the back while in gunship mode. Slap Chainclaw on the front underneath the cockpit and he becomes a heavily armed gunship.

Keep in mind, those arms on Pinpoint are not his original, i did a swap with Chopster(I think) the gun arms are so much nicer than the exhaust.

That is super-cool! In my house, Laserbeak will be a large aerial vehicle, in scale with Legends/Legions. I'm getting 2, at least, because I love his MT weapons. That's a great idea you had, thanks!

I just found that one of the missile launchers on 2007 movie 1974 Bumblebee has a small tab which allows it to clip onto the other launcher makeing the weapon double barreled.

I´ve owned him for 4 years since 2007 and it wasn't mentioned in the instructions.

I owned Human alliance Mudflap and for about a year i did not know that there is a button on his head and if you press it, His mouth opens!

It's more to lock the launchers together in vehicle mode, but whatever,

Yeah, I hadn't thought of using it that way!

Cyberverse Blackout's little Scoropnok can perch on his left arm. The posts to connect his arms in vehicle mode line up perfectly with two little holes on the underside of Scorponok's shoulders.

Blackout's arm has to be straight or it won't work, but it does look rather adorable.

just found out that Classics/Henkei/United Megatron can use the energy mace that was included with TF Collection #6 Megatron

nothing amazing, but it seems Generations Blurr can stand on one leg really easily with the other leg not touching the ground, so you can put him in some cool run poses.

Pretty obvious, since they all use 5mm pegs, but WFC Optimus can hold mechtech weapons. They're great for people who want to bulk him out a bit.

On my shelf he's currently holding his own rifle, Classics Jetfires gun, Classics Sideswipes little blaster thingy, RTS Tracks' missile launcher, Classics Prime's double barrelled rifle and DOTM Sideswipes mechtech gun. AUTOBOTS WIN THE MATCH indeed.
