The targetmaster pinpointer can make a front gun for Skyhammer. Thats somthing that fits this thread.
Then I just showed off how Tailpipe can sorta take gun placement position behind Landsharks tow arm...

I just discovered that the gun for G1 Blaster can peg into one of the four screw holes on his back.

The butt of his rifle sticks out over his shoulder when looked at from the front. I put it on an angle.

It looks like his gun is in a back holster. Looks cool plus it's a place to store the gun.

Yeah, I kinda thought about it when I got it, but hey. It even took me a while to transform ROTF Voyager Ratchet and Deluxe Soundwave correctly.

I'm guessing that's why Mechie Bumblebee's hands are so tight. So it could actually hold his plasma cannon.

Could be old news.

While I was tightening classics Inferno's arms last time, I found out the panels on each forearm can rotate. And after rotating, the fist can be seen from the side not blocking by the panel. Didn't bother to find and look if it was mentioned in the instruction but quite happy with my find.

I have to add you can only do that with the Inferno version of the mold, and not Grapple's. Grapple's forearms are a solid piece.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

I just realized that DOTM Roadbuster's wheels on his hip rotate down in robot mode.

Also never realized War for Cybertron Megatron's backpack "clicks" into place. I've had it for months and never figured it out.

It sits flush against his back... such that when you get it finally there, it makes a sorta click from the friction from the top of the shoulders and the edge of the back panel piece.
