Saw this (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transtopia-articulated-hands-for-your-transformers/14382/) just now on Seibertron

Could come in handy for any kitbashers out there, I'm too much of a gumby to try it out but maybe in the holidays

Mmm... I dunno... as cool as it looks I'm afraid that they would lose their "kung fu grip" and be unable to hold weapons with enough strength making them prone to falling off a lot. You would have to do what HasTak does sometimes with some TFs with articulated fingers - make a slot in the palm and create a post or tab on the weapon handle so that the weapon can be inserted into the palms (e.g.: Binaltech/Alternators, Animated Grimlock etc).

Yeah, you would definitely need to weigh up which TFs need to hold guns and which don't, cause if they do... They might not be holding onto it for much longer if you do this haha

To be honest, I think it would be more suitable on models/action figures of humans, but like I said I just saw it on Seibertron and thought I'd chuck it on if anyone was interested
