I can't be the only one who wants to see Rook using the PE hands as properly articulated power fists with the miniguns on his shoulders, right?

[Cobotron]

I really dig Rook's configuration! Is it a mod or can you simply move the arms around like this and compress the front section down to make him a bit slimmer?

I don't think that's a mod. I could see how that's possible. Looks good!

I would look at that.

Voila

Sorry, its sideways for some reason. Click on it, and it should be right side up.

Ima lookin', and Ima likin'!

Unfortunately, the lighting in my room is bad, and I couldn't put him in any cool poses because they weighed him down too much. In fact, the only reason he was actually standing is because I had him resting against the wall.

I'm diggin' it. That looks properly imposing.

That's what Rook arm does.

I often have little to no interest in 3rd party add-ons. But I am tempted to just get that set to deck Rook out.

Alpha Bravo wishes he was that tough. WHO'S THE BEST NEWCOMER NOW HUH ALPHA BRAVO?

Imagine an Energon-style combiner where Rook and Bravo Powerlinx together. Screw Optimus Maximus, there's the ultimate combiner right there.

Here is a quick video for a fix to CW Brawl's waist. I don't have this figure to try this on but here it is.

A quick Mod for Combiner Wars Brawl to fix his horribly designed waist. No cutting required and he still transforms perfectly without any issues.

Coincidentally, I just found this a couple minutes ago, but it didn't really work all that well.

That's just ... that makes my belly look small!

My friend also pointed out that this reminded him of G1 Battletrap:

oooo there's potential there!

Can anyone with the figure confirm whether this affects any of the modes/transformations?

I don't have the figure but of course it will. At least leg and vehicle mode. Arm mode shouldn't be affected.

Technically, if the waist part is symmetrical, it may not - which was the point of my question

But it won't look like a normal tank in vehicle mode. The rear half of the tank tracks would be upside down. Same in leg mode.

There is a waist swivel, so the treads are fine in tank mode. I just tried it, and as weird as it may seem, my Brawl tabs in better in tank mode after this modification than it did before. I may keep it.

Now, if it can just not look like Brawl's junk is part of a limited number set in bot mode....

Since we're on the topic of modding, is there any way to attach Blades in chopper mode to Defensor's back?

Hrm....you have a very interesting question there. With the ladder on the back, there are all kinds of small openings to wedge parts in, but the bottom of blades is so smooth. (Okay, did that sound dirty, or is it just me?)

On the other hand, there are Hot Spot's duel cannons that peg in on the back, with a side 5mm peg too. I'm thinking there could be a way to use Blades's hands to hold on to the cannons, and peg the cannons into the back. I'll try it and see if I can post a picture. I need to mount Groove on CW Defensor and take a pic anyhow...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I may consider that mod when I get Brawl. hopefully someone will confirm the functionality of it. and Rook is the best figure of this line, and I am pretty sure all but a few of you would disagree with that!
