I was fooling around with them and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to set them up like the movie with longarm towing bumblebee? Anyone find a way to do it? :-?

BB was chained to Longarm's bed, if I recall correctly.

Yes,
It is hard to explain maybe someone could take a picture of how to do it. My sister borrowed my camera so I can't At the moment.

if you have the hole to fit around the hook you have it. That's how mine hooks.

Why not custom-made a sort of "skid plate" with wheels? The sort of thing tow trucks use to carry the front part of the car.

I think you should disconnect the upper body from the lower body (or just pull the legs out and put them aside) and then hook bb on. i think that a good way is to hook the hook to bb's chest.

You can hook up the 70s Camaro BB to Longarm.

I'm not sure about the Concept Camaro BB though.

I don't think the tow hook was used at all, but I'll have to watch that part again. Also, recall that BB still had stumps of legs above the knees, just his lower legs were missing.

The legs on BB that comes w/ the Final Battle set looks pretty accurate. (It appears to be an all-new BB mold, looks like the Robot Replicas a little tho.) Can't quite tell how it's meant to sit on Longarm's bed, tho. I took the lower legs off my RR BB and just prop him up, leanign against the hook. Some very fine necklace chain would add a nice detail, IMO.

Yeah I remember Mikeala telling sam to rap the chain aropund his neck. So I'm willing to bet they rapped the chin around him and hooked the hook back to the tow truck. And for the leg stumps I just re autoform his legs and if done right they look like stumps.

The 08 can be towed in car mode. Just hook the hook under his front bumper. There's more than enough room to get it under and the gap in the hook is the perfect size for the bumper to fill.As for robot mode, I aint found a way without dismantling something.

I believe what you wantis to pop thge legs off the ball joints and run two chains across him in an "X pattern, like a seatbelt. Originating from the tow arm, going across BB at an angle, and then attaching to the bottom of the towtruck, or the "seat" which I believe is one of those things that's atached to the tow arm, that you put the front wheels of a car into and then lift.

It bothers me that Mikaela says to wrap the chain around his neck. That's not a very polite way to treat a friend. And not a good way to make sure BB was strapped in tightly. The neck of anything, human, animals, robots, is always a weak point.

She should have said, "wrap the chain around his chest or shoulder".
