Well i opened Landmine up last nite, as carefully as i usually do like my other transformers, only got him because it was 25% off TF's at woolies, but neways, first thing his head head popped off i thort no big and placed it back on but, when i was transformering his leg, the grey/silver bit that look like canisters well u can move them back a little so they rest jus next to the suspension, but i must of forced it a bit to hard a small piece of plastic snapped off it.

So now he can stand, but if i pick him up the silver/grey bit dangles, so im keeping him in his buggy mode to save any more damage

i must admit when i bought my Classics Bumblebee, the bonnet on his right leg clipped off, and nothings broken on it, but it now falls out really easily. pisses me off when that happens, ruins perfectly good toys

Right. I assume you know the canister is supposed to clip over the little bump to keep it in place? And also, did you do the leg Automorph bit that Hasbro forgot to put on the instructions? Took me a while to work out how to do it.

You must be pretty tall then Pot, I can kick about 6 feet.

I hate the stupid Automorph gimick, it's ace when it works, but if it breaks the whole toy is dead. :-(

Yeh, sure did know thanks, his gun keeps fallin off now at the grey pivoting part and the rear lights (left one) keeps falling off.

Automorph tech? didnt think it had it, doesnt even look like it needs it.

The only good figure that i reli luv from the recent toys has to be longarm

Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:09 pm

I think the rear lights are meant to detach easily. Its the upper legs where the automorph is - if you pull the rear lights forward (so they face horizontally rather than vertically) the upper leg plating moves inwards slightly - not much, but its a nice little touch.

Tae Kwon Do is class, it does throws, locks, kicking punching, a bit of everything.

weeeee! Stickers are on the way. I finally used Paypal. Go me. :DANCE:

Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:52 pm

congrats on the paypal thing. Do any of your old tf's (G1) get really stiff when you dont transform them for a while and rip the stickers off the legs?

News Credits: 2 · Thu Feb 14, 2008 3:22 pm

I've only done 2 sticker removals. G2 Jazz and Blitzwing. Neither of them became stiff when not transformed for a while (though BLitzwing was second hand, incidentally, the only second hand tf I own) so I don't know if he stiffened up or not over the years. As for other G1's, they're my brothers. Just transformed Hot Rod, and his arms have gone a bit stiffer than I remember them being. He hasn't had any stickers ripped off though.

Thu Feb 14, 2008 3:28 pm

fair enough, my hot rods stickers have always been mint condition but the last few months hes got so stiff when i slide his legs up, its ripped his stickers :-(

saying that my reissue prowl did that from day 1 lol

dealer or thunderthruster lol.

Can Tae Kwon Do kick Jujitsu's arse Pot? This is of great concern to me...

Yeah, D has the plain shield I think, but he aint here, so ask TT? I would like a plain version just to mess with...

Thu Feb 14, 2008 3:55 pm

yea id like a plain version.

It all depends on the person Tan, i have a good friend who does jujitsu, and i can thrash him. Put it this way, Tae Kwon Do is basically how the ancient Korean Army was trained. Im lucky enough to be trained by an ex British champion (now retired from competition), and we quite often have the ex european champ come and help out. All i can say is id LOVE to see a jujitsu 4th dan take either of them.

It's pretty easy to make a plain shield. I made one from yours.

I like the sound of this Tae Kwon Do more and more...

I used to take Tae Kwon Do. Until my instructor was arrested, jailed, and put on the sex offenders register for messing around with kids.
