Could you take some pictures, please?

Hmm? Mine popped right off. Interesting discovery Caelus!Hellscream9999 wrote:Lunatic Prime wrote:Caelus wrote:Bizarre discovery of this morning - Cog's tank treads are adjustable.

Yeah, I tried on mine and they wouldn't budge, doesn't seem like they're meant to come off

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

It may be they aren't supposed to come off (after all, they don't use 5mm or 3mm ports), but it's odd they'd put 7 holes on something attached to 3 pegs. My only other thought is that they might intend to reuse the tread piece in other figures where the treads might be placed differently.

Here's 1 guess on the 7 holes vs 3 pegs, I wonder if they use the same tread part for Brunt, but they attach using the center 3 holes instead of the 3 holes on one side or the other for Cog.
Edit: After a further look, that notch means there is a left tread and a right one, so the mystery continues, but I still suspect they may re-use this for Brunt and that is why the extra holes are there.

The treads on Brunt's thighs look very similar to the ones on Cog's lower legs, but they don't look like the same piece to me.

Apart from shockwave?
