Thanks for posting. It’s crappy that even with the “fix,” the fenders still won’t stay in place when in alt mode. I read of someone shaving down the tabs on the roof that clip into the front hood. It supposedly makes it feels less scary during the transformation to alt mode. I wonder if that would take off some of the pressure on the fenders and lead to a more flush appearance.

If you do that the legs would not lock in at all and would flop around more. Don't do it.

@@severussnape9733 I agree. And every reviewer has multiple copies of each figure they own, and it's always hard to find the good ones in store. (Between scalpers and "collectors")

thanks bro oh I'm not sure... I don't usually use super glue on these figures unless it's to repair broken pieces

Put a tiny ball bearing on the back side of the rivet when you squeeze down on the joint. Hobby shops have them for adding to miniature paint to help when shaking.

oh i didn't even know those were a thing... thanks for the tip!

I recent got mine yesterday, and the joints look flush on mine. My other fix: the usual nail polish to help stick the pegs better in place. Still be looking forward to get Pipes, Road Rage, and Galvatron in 2022. I hope my nearest store has them.

Thanks for sharing the remedy, actually I have exactly the same problem you have with the tracks in this video, but what i am doing is try to make the leg end (thigh end) tighter by adding contact glue over mushroom joint, because the leg end of mine is pretty loose as well, which is a common issue of this figure

You could achive basically the same thing with a hammer and a thin metal rod of sorts that would act as a buffer between the pin and the hammer

i think dipping it in freshly boiled water first is a good idea. softens the plastic so you don't need as much force to push in the pin, and the plastic is less likely to crack. when heated with boiled water you can also bend the panels inwards a little, reducing the gap in the side panels in vehicle mode.
@chefatron2 жыл бұрын
cool bro, thanks for the tip!
@anotherLword2 жыл бұрын
Good video 👍 I worry your pliers are too strong. I used a flat pair and the same sorta cloth but double folded and from both sides so it's softer. That way the cloth molds to the pin and creates a more precise force with no plastic damage

People suggesting a soldering iron, but wouldn’t that melt the plastic surrounding the pin?! Seems too much when a hammer and pin pusher is all u really need. Couple light taps

yeah, i thought of that, but with my luck, i'll probably just end up poking holes into the blue plastic with the soldering iron... i wasn't too good at it during shop class
@BenXC2 жыл бұрын
Wouldn't it be better to use a nail or another pin and use a hammer to drive that pin deeper into the hole? This way there won't be any issue to potentially scratch or break it.

Use a blow dryer to heat the plastic up then use the Vice grips with cloth. This will limit you getting a crack when pushing in the pegs.

I knew he had the loose legs on many copies. Found one at Ross for 9.99 and I got it. For that price it was hard to pass up. The legs on mine don't wobble. They are nice and tight. Atleast on my copy. The hood splitting gives me some trouble when transforming. And the lower corners of the forarms, the grey part there got a little scrape there on each one due to taking them out during transformation. That part also gives me some trouble getting them out. He is good. Not great or bad.
