Does anyone know how Transformers Animated Optimus Prime's shield attaches to his arm in robot mode? I have the upcoming deluxe figure (Cybertron mode). I'll be damned if I can figure out how it attaches currently. Any suggestions for my gallery?

Ack. Nevermind. I just watched the following video link on YouTube. If this kid can figure it out, then I definitely can.

The problem is that the promo pics have the figure reversed horizontally. The shield attaches to Optimus Prime's left arm, not his right.

ahhhhh Ryan, it's a sure sign of old age when you have trouble transforming TF's.

And yes, it's happened to me before too.

All though sometimes it helps I’ve often noticed the stock photos on the box are nothing like the actual toy, compare Ratchet with his axe deployed to the picture on the box and you’ll notice his axe and shield are on opposite arms.
