Legs forward being the knees out, feet back or the way you showed? I decided to go that route before tucking Abominus away again, but I didn't peg the tab in so the gun could still be stored there. I decided that it ultimately looked better. Can't say I studied the Seacons all that hard because I scratched them off my to get list.

Thanks again for sharing.

The bottom two pics.

Oh, hey, I was just thinking about the Seacons when I realized something. The way their Targetmaster gimmick works?

It means that Prime Armor sockets are by default the same size as CW/PotP combiner joints. I tested it out with my Moonracer just to be sure, and yep, it works. If this is old news, I apologize. If not... Well, I don't actually have enough PotP figures to really do anything with this information (I'm WAY behind on my toy purchases), but hopefully someone here can have some fun with it.

It's old news but it's not common knowledge. I used it to make this a little while ago:

Found out Pteraxadon has a mode that the instructions do not mention. He has a "gun mode" but the handle is super tight. might need to sand it down if you want to avoid causing stress in the fist.

It's a detail I don't recall seeing in any review, so I think it's worth mentioning.

The new Matrix of Leadership that came with MP-44 has a similar size of the one that came with MP-10, this meaning it's still compatible with all the latest MPs that could hold the MP-10 Matrix in their chest (like Ultra Magnus and Hot Rod)

It's silly but I had to transform me Seige Silverstreak twice before discovering his MAD ankle-tilts.

Have an idea but no compatible toys. Has anyone had the idea how to use spare parts to create a new character by only using elite class Ocean Storm, Sea Fury, Trash Crash or Chopper cut by adding alternate 5mm port parts to give new body or legs by utilising the spark armor 5mm pegs?

Anyone wanna give it a try to a frankenstein like the spark armor boats (it has most realistic arms)

Don't know if this counts or not but ss car dropkicks transformation is less of a contract with unicron going into car mode if you tab the doors into his legs before sliding his arms into place just make sure to hold those doors closed otherwise he'll be more of a bitch to work with

Without any body, Chopper Cut does resemble Obsidian a bit.

If you hold the figure by the torso rather than the legs, the Cyberverse Warrior Starscream mold's weird torso spin can be used as a slightly-less-weird spinning kick instead. Most of you prbably don't care about this kind of gimmick, I know, but just in case someone other than me thinks it's fun.

through a friend on Facebook (who made the pics), just found out something about Primus toy I never knew (I think it's not mentioned neither in the instructions neither in the tfwiki).
The heels folds into his shins.

Ss jazz can stand without his heel spurs

More of a thing I didn't realize my Transformer WASN'T supposed to do, but apparently Siege Ratchet's torso is supposed to lock into place and him being able to tilt side-to-side at the waist was just a result of me mistransforming it and not locking his bumper in place in robot mode.

Slight misstransformations to get extra articulation points is a Transformers staple. It's always fun to discover those on your bots.

In this case, I kinda started with the articulation and it was the locking mechanism I discovered later. Discovering how to make a toy less poseable isn't quite as exciting.

Weaponisers make Baynus style heads... so along with Blot it gives him a few different looks when Cerebrus is hanging around with the headmaseters in robot mode.

Eyebrowor with posable eyebrows, always looks like he is looking up and has his tongue out.

Goofymus probably the most color coordinated.

Mandiblor, really wanted the claws to have a mandibles effect but it kind of looks like screwloose from TMNT.

Either way, still beats using the weaponisers as Boots.

That last one sorta looks like it's wearing lipstick

So apparently the AoE voyager Grimlock mold has ankle tiltage

I played around with TR Overlord and I found out about a "hidden" articulation joint.
In bot mode, just unclip the panels on the back. This will free the transformation joint for base mode that will serve as a "reverse abs crunch". Tilting his spine backward for some more dynamic poses.

Have some pictures:




This joint is obviously loose, but positioning the back panels a certain way hold it up.
Also, the same gimmick is valid for TR Blackshadow.

It is just today i realized you can store both of siege hound's gun on the bottom of the jeep.

It took the magic of the Internet for me to discover Siege Megatron’s fan gun mode. It also took me about a month to find the prime master in Razorclaw’s mouth.

Well I didn't even know there was fan gun mode I really shouldn't be surprised - pretty nice, thanks

Pics of the gun mode?
