He's got a sweet bot mode and a really lame alt mode. Any ideas on how to make it look better? I've basically turned him backwards, flipped the arms so the treads would face the same direction, and placed the 'turret' on his back, where it should be. It's not accurate or super-great looking, but it's better than his actual alt.

I'm wondering, what's the deal with the weird clip thing on his back? It doesn't seem to have much use in either mode, and does a lousy job of holding either of the weapons.

Speaking of which, anyone have any ideas on how to keep his fusion cannon from falling off his arm? All the titanium toys are so poorly designed...

You trying to connect his cannon right to the arm? Yeah I do that, but part of the cannon impedes and it connects about halfway at an angle. I have managed to make it stay though.

I agree too, his "tank" mode is pretty unremarkable

Yeah, that's what I've been doing, but it falls off easily if I bump him. The peg is too short... I've been thinking of wrapping some tape around it maybe, just to tighten it up in the hole.

Yeah tape seems to be the best option, because as I see it now, theres no way to trim that part down without messing up the actual cannon part.

I suppose someone with good kitbashing skills could remove the cannon bit and reposition or re-make the peg part with good results, but I'm no kitbasher.

So what about that mysterious clip? It's not actually for holding weapons, is it? Because it does a really crappy job if that's the case.

Which gun are we talking about? the shield gun shaped one? or his long barreled gun?

I really like the WW figures and wish Hasbro would remold em into plastic for Universe, like make Prime and Meg voyager. Titanium is fine and all but I wish too much of awesome characters. =(

WW Meg is one of the best robot modes, I seen in a long time. He needs more loving.

He was going to be released with a sword that would have been stored in the clip - but it was cancelled.

I have never seen this toy in person, let alone owned one, but if the Cannon is not die-cast then perhaps something like blu-tak would suffice to keep it on his arm.

If it is diecast, it will probably be too heavy for the blutak, but you could still give it a whirl.

I just connect the gun to the shield and then stick it on his hand which makes it look conncected to his arm. Makes the gun look bigger. :grin:

I haven't even bothered transforming him yet. I kinda lost the instructions. I'm enjoying him in bot mode.

Now Titanium Rodimus, I'm disappointed in his alt mode!
