I got that right in place straight away.
Although I was worried by a couple of reviews I've seen around..

All clicks into place with my Perceptor!

yup.
it doesn't lock in, except for when it does lock in to the head slider, and is really hard to un-lock in...out...whatever.
can be helpful to be adjustable for poses, though.

okay, well if you push teh gray head slider all the way up, (Which is quite hard) and accordian the back it should stay in place

that's what i mean.
it locks in place great, and works and looks well, but (for me at least) is a pain to get out when you want vehicle mode again.
but i can never do the arms properly for vehicle mode anyway, so i guess that doesn't really matter :lol:

Can anybody explain how combine Cybertron Soundwave's barrel guns?

News Credits: 11 · by **kirbenvost** » Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:34 pm

I've never heard of them combining... you're talking about the stealth plane Voyager Soundwave from Galaxy Force/Cybertron?

Yup, I've seen picture in the past but never paid attention to them untill I got him in the mail

so, i found out why there are two peg holes oh RTS/generations wreck-gar molds leg/seat.

the crotch of the mold is used for a secure seat.

also i found out that the generations thinderwing mold has a ball joint in his head, it just cant be used but if it modified it can be used.

by **Doubledealer93** » Sat Dec 03, 2011 1:29 am

with the mod done this is the end result. very worth it. you can do this by making the plastic level around the ball joint/neck.
sky shadow/ black shadow is bad ass with a moveable head.

@doubledealer, there is also (i believe, i haven't got two to try it out with) a slot for the peg on the inside of one of the legs on wreck-gar.
and yes, black shadow/thunderwing does look awesome with that mod

why does my mind read sentences how it does...
but yeah, i had my suspicions about the feature when i saw the first pictures, and i think when takara did those three-packs of see-throughs and a junkion, someone's vidoe review showed it off, but now that there is a large-scale release, more people will be able to discover it
....hasblo/brekshire, if you don't sell me junky-man and black/sky shadow over here then i will be pissed.

Just bought Special Ops Jazz today. Just wondering if he has any hidden uses or unusual quirks that the instructions don't mention, i mean aside from the hidden ability to attach the speakers to his gun?

His spoiler can tilt, his gun can still fit under his car-bra in bot mode,

The instructions already mentioned these facts.

Really? huh, I didn't notice them

by **Autobot-Hellstriker** » Sat Dec 03, 2011 10:35 pm

The instructions already mention where the gun becomes a engine under his "bra" and it's easy to assume it'll already be possible in robot mode since nothing indicates that some part of him snaps in there instead.

And i already fiddled with spoiler before logging online.

The only weird thing i've discovered is that i can make him look like he's doing a "back wheelie" trick by pulling out his grey boots and heels and stand them spread out underneath the car. :lol:

Not really something something can do, but I got my Armada Supercon Optimus Prime in the mail today, and Over-Run's vehicle mode is not at all unlike Prime Starscream's.

I Was taking apart my ROTF Jolt, so I could cut and file that plastic block behind his head right? And it turns out he's got a mechalive gear feature VERY Similar to ROTF Voyager megatron's in his chest, it's just not very visible, but that's why he has a transparent chest!

It's because when Optimus died the second time in the Marvel comics (after kamikaze diving into Unicron with the Matrix) his mangled body was shown to have a speaker grill under his faceplate. Here's a better pic. I have yet to hear whether or not MP-10 has it too.

Maybe he wondered why they bothered hiding the face under the grill as it's so hard to uncover.

As MP-10 doesn't have a moving mouthpiece I'd be even more surprised if they put the face there.

I'm thinking it was part of the original design, I mean, look at crankcase's seats inside. A clear indicator for translucent windows correct? I Wonder how many other TFs have these? There should be a thread about that.

You think the mouthpiece was supposed to be removable originally?

Sorry it took so long to reply! 8-}

yes I do!
Think Cybertron/Galaxy force/ Animated Voyager optimus prime. I'm guessing there are alot of these "Mis-constructions about, we just need to keep looking....
