As someone who loves articulation in the hands of Transformers figures, as well as a somewhat standard 5mm port size for placement of weapons, I love displaying my figures with different weapons or objects they don't come with.

My most recent "dress-up" is 07 Stockade. Its articulated hands are awesome for holding weapons/objects. I have it holding in its right hand a 180mm cannon from a 1/144 Gundam kit and a machine gun from a GI Joe figure in its left hand. John-Michael Bay-Woo time, baby! The scale for the weapons are perfect as the cannon looks just right as a vehicle mounted weapon for Deluxe class figures. The GI Joe machine gun also looks right for a "human" at Deluxe scale. It looks like Stockade ambushed some NEST soldiers for extra firepower.

Other than that, I have U Onslaught wielding G1 Onslaught's rifle. I'm always on the lookout for spare parts from other toys that could be used for my Transformers.

Does anyone else indulge in arming their Transformers?

The original Movie '07 Concept Bumblebee looks great with the Alpha Spear.

Added weapons to Blackout as you've already seen and Sideways but that's about it I think. I don't like it when TFs don't come with guns so I don't know why I haven't added more. Probably just cos it's so hard to find ones I think look right without hours of searching.

I have modified an old broken G1 Sideswipe launcher to fit on my Classics Sideswipe. I also have a Chinese KO G1 launcher on my Classics Mirage.
