As happy as i am for actually being able to transform my MP5 into gunmode without breaking it i do have a minor problem with it i just can't fix myself.
I just can't get his shoulderparts to properly fit in his underarms when in gunmode.

I've got a strong feeling it's a designer or a production faillure.

Does anybody overhere know about this problem and how to fix it.

Did u remember to flip out the connecting tabs from under the shoulders?

Yes i did, i just can't get the top of the shoulder parts to fit in the top of the underarms.
There's a small hole in his underarmparts in wich you should be able to fit the pin on his shoulderparts in, but when i do so they pop right out wich a enoying small gap.

It's not a big issue to me cause i was planning on displaying it in robotmode anyway, but if somebody knows a solution i would be pleased to hear so.

post a photo, its kinda hard to follow here exactly the prob is

I'll try, here we go.

Just squish it under, those lips link in uner the other piece of the arms, it can be tricky, but all u gotta do is press down and in once u get to where u are

Exactly. Need some brute force there buddy.

I have tried a thousands times allready the freaking things won't stay in for longer than a second, they pop right out!

Ah what the heck i'll just transform it back to robotmode and leave it like that.

Thanks for your help anyway!

It's not uncommon for that toy.

The answer actually is force.

You have to push pretty tightly on all the steps leading up to that one. Each little difference in tolerance adds up.

Nothing is wrong with your figure, so rest easy.

(Though I feel your pain, it is frustrating.)

it's a problem with how the elbow joint slides on the forearm part, you're just not sliding it the whole way, trust me... I've had to correct this so many times in transformation of my MP Megs...

after transforming mine from gun to robot i have a hardtime pushing the sholders back into place...they still aren't tight and his arms will fall down. am i just not pushing hard enough?

I have the same problem with mine. I just dont bother trying to force it into place...not worth the time or effort. Would have been nice though if they could have made the atab a bit better.

Push hard and try using a upwards diagonally force.
