I just got the red and blue Uni 2.0 Leo Prime from TRU, and I noticed there's a big unused connector and I seem to remember seeing pictures of him combined with an OP figure where Leo is like his arm or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or more importantly, know where I can find a video to show how to do it?

He combines with Cybertron Prime or Megatron/Galvatron.

He's a retool of Cybertron Leobreaker, here's the image in question:

It doesn't look like much, but plans were for him to actually have a hand. Unfortunately, costs and engineering difficulties lead to this.

Transforming is easy:

Leo Prime (Starting in robot mode)
- flip down the head
- straighten the arms and legs, and flip up the feet and heels
- remove the underarms, and put then on the bottom of the feet

Optimus Prime (Starting in Super Mode)
- Remove his backpack. Before reconnecting, swing the guns back and up behind the wings.
- fold back one arm as you would for vehicle mode. Usually it's the right

Link Up
- Using the plug on Leo Prime, connect him to Optimus' shoulder socket. Make sure the squared pieces of both shoulders are properly alligned.
- Reattach the backpack

Presto.

He's also able to combine with Armada Tidal Wave apparently. Seems the square connector is the same one.

Cool. Thanks! I've got the red and black version of OP, red and blue Leo, and the TRU exclusive Wingblade, so it'll be interesting to see how the color combinations look. If I get around to doing this over the weekend, I'll post some pics.

One more thing: you can combine Optimus either with Leobreaker/Leo Prime, or Wing Saber/Wingblade, but not both at the same time, because Wing Saber attaches directly Optimus' back, leaving no room for the arm to swing back for Leobreaker.

I may have to pick up a Leo Prime because its colour scheme matches my red/blue Cybertron OP quite well, I think.

That combination is so lame I don't think I ever even bothered trying it...

Nope it's too big, however Cybertron Megatron can use Titalwave's arms but they will pop out if you move the arms to strongly as the holes are bigger than the connectors.

Looks like they fit fine to me:

Admittedly I don't have Tidalwave. But it looks decent enough.

There is a way to connect all three. I saw it on a japanese website. I think they had the back of WingSabre flipped up

When you combine Cybertron OP with Wingblade it's an ugly color formation. I use Wingblade as the prototype version of WingSabre, which looks much better.
