Here is Krok in his straight out of the box vanilla form.

It's partsformery, but super easy and completely reverse-able. Unscrew his rear croc legs from the inside of his bot legs. I put the screws back in so I wouldn't lose them. The screw can even be left in when we transform him back to beast mode. It adds a hair of height, but that's kinda needed with his rear legs.

From here we have two options.

Double reverse.

Take the two rear croc legs and move them to the reverse bot legs and slide them back on, having the beast legs fill in the hollow bot legs. The places where the beast legs slot/peg in still work. And you get this.

Single reverse.

Just pull the beast leg off, twist it a bit on the ball joint and slide it back on the same leg. Not quite as clean of a look.

The benefit here being the screw hole is farther back on the outside of the bot leg, but the beast leg doesn't fill the gap well enough and is a bit more awkward.

And that's it, A simple and reverse-able way to clean up the beast kibble from Skullsmasher or Krok.

Hm, interesting that it slides right in so easily. That and the oversized KO's leg modification makes me wonder if this was originally intended.

I didn't know there was an OS KO version (not surprising). Wow what a difference a couple pieces of plastic make. Surely a few flaps would have fit in the original's budget? At a minimum they could have used hard plastic on the back flap :-?

The legs do fit back there so well it almost seems like there was a cut feature.

Yeah, it's a shame it wasn't done officially.

Either way Krok looks even better like this

There is a Shapeways part (somewhere, can't remember the name alas) that allows the legs to fold into the shins without partsforming, if you're interested.
