DOTM Sentinel Prime: Improvement?
Posted: Fri May 13, 2011 9:13 pmHi. This may be in the wrong forum. I didn't know whether to post this in the Custom Figures forum or the Toys Forum, but I thought, for people who have (or are planning to get) DOTM Sentinel Prime, that I could give a suggestion to make him look better.
If you have seen pics of Sentinel Prime, you know that there is a hose on his back. Well theres a quick fix for that. If you turn it the opposite way you can arrange it to be over his shoulder, which makes it look like a shoulder cannon. Now he does not have a "tail." of such. And the red door pannels on his shoulder can fold onto his backpack.
As far as the shield is concerned, I don't know if any of you have this problem, but Sentinel just wont grip his shield tight enough, which makes it flop around. If you want some good display action, and if you are not fond of the "X" look of his shield, if notice there is a hole on the side of his arm. Simply peg the shield into that hole. I suggest pegging it with the bottom peg. If you notice there are 3 pegs beside it's handle. Use the singular one on the bottom. If you want to have it in "X" form you can put it like that, but you'll have to get one of the plastic pieces around the shoulder. It hides his hand a little bit though.
Tell me how this improvement works for you, or if you have any better ways to improve this figure. I accept all ideas. Please move this thread if it is in the wrong forum. Thanks
. Pictures coming soon.
