fansproject needs to make the missile pods/shoulderblox for classics/rotf vortex/energon blackout and bruticus from a stronger more durable form of plastic
over time i have also noticed that the side panel flaps on bruticus's left shoulder blox for vortex have actually broken at the bottom corner of each flap with the plug stud hole
i have had toi repair the part with epoxy glue over time and even had to switch the flaps on vortex's shoulder blox with the ones from explorer/blsstoffs shoulder blox over time
it just got to the point that i had to slightly sand down the size of the plug nobs on the sides of vortexs body for them to properly fit the hoels on the missile pod flaps
the new shoulder blox exstensions i made for big brute explorer blastoff and vortex still work all right in combining them with onslaught as bruticus's arms for combiner mode
but hte pods no longer stay in place when i try to attach them to the sides of vortex's helicoptor mode
instead i have had to improvise a male plug/female socket 2 part connector system using parts from classics superion maximus's silverbolts shoulders so that one missile pod can be mounted into place on the back of munitioner/swindles trunk/roof in vehicle mode and the other can be mounted into place on the back of onslaughts extended trailer as well
ieven had to completely replace the ball jointed hip parts from explorer over time with ball socket parts salvaged from energon flat tops shoulders
