Listen up, I think the Optimal Optimus toy looks a bit silly with missiles on the sides of his legs. Just today I noticed this.

I am considering dremel-fileing down the little pegs holding them. Are there any other figures that have missile store-ers?

BUMP

i dunno

Wow, what an informative, meaningful, and helpful post!

original optimus primal has missile storers in the missle when it folds back and behind the head.

Wait, you mean his shoulder mounted cannons?

No, he has two holes behind his actual head that the missiles for his arm cannon can go in. The shoulder guns can store the missiles in them permanantly.

Generation 2 Megatron, the big green tank version, could store a missile in each of his lower legs in both modes.

Plenty. All the Turbomasters and Predators could store at least 2 missiles on their selves, and hold the final missile in the weapon itself.

A/E/C has plenty of figures that hold missiles, not in the weapon, and even more that can hide weapon and missiles; Armourhide, Thunderblast, CD Hot Shot, Sharkticon, CD Scattorshot, Undermine, Brakedown the list goes on, and I'm too lazy to complete it.

I dont mind Optimal Optimus's missiles being on his legs, they are clear missiles so they don't truly impact the figure. Usually though, I keep his missiles loaded in his over the shoulder cannons, and they cannot be accidentally mis-fired.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, also movie starscream.

Do they stand out as much as Optimal?

GOD FREAKING DAMNIT.

I just filed them off, but now it looks like ****.

Urggggggggg....

I'm having such a bad day...

You can't tell the missiles are stored behind his head if you push them down fully. Though they can limit his head movement quite a bit.

Hehehe... Sorry about yer luck man. I know how ya feel.

YOU LAUGHIN AT ME, DOUCHE?!

Lol, just kidding. I finally realized that, like on Movie SS, the missiles are only meant to go in the store-ers when they are NOT loaded in the launcher. So really, Optimal shuld have only come with 2 missiles, IMO.
