Hey Seibtrono's, my bro got me Computron for my birthday! The Technobots aren't anywhere near 100% complete, but meh, it's got all the combiner parts so I'm quite pleased.

Anyways, I notice that Computron has quite the divot in his chestplate, but I can't figure out why. I looked on the tfwiki and tfu.info, but I can't see what it's for. So, dropped feature or am I missing something?

I think it's just an aesthetic thing... I have a complete Compy and nothing plugs in or fits inside.

The chestplate does form a kind of stand for Scattershot's cannon mode, but it just kinda fits underneath him.

Might be related to the combined city mode (where all the Scramble City combiner torsos, in base modes, combine into a small city...)

After looking him over again and thinking, I did see the way it's designed to fit over his waist, and that makes sense for the space at the bottom of chestplate. So yes, it is most likely just aesthetic.

However, I did notice that the chestplate fits over his arm as sort of a shield, over the hand or shoulder. Heck, the angles on the inside and space on it fits very natarally around the shoulder. Albeit it's a sort of lame shield because it's undetailed on the back, but it could be a shield nontheless.
