Oh sweet coz I need a fix. Can you help me out? :p

City Commander arrived today.

Oh man. Apart from the "skin tight" leg fittings I'm afraid of, this set is amazing! Brilliant!

Thanks to Kyle for setting this us and making our lives just that little bit richer :)

Yippeee...
G1 parts from Demonac after dropping off the OTFC Seacons and Movie Metallic Ratchet to him:

- Missile Launcher of Anti-Aircraft Base
- Air Raid's gun (slightly broken)

I got Animated Lugnut last night on special at Kmart... so glad I got that toy on sale as it's just a big epic fail, especially the weapon gimmick. I cut my thumb open trying to open it (didn't succeed). Some blood and 2 band aids later... (-_-)

Did you put the weapon in his hand first? I didn't and ended up dismantling it before I worked it out...

I agree with you on this one... Swoop is fantastic!! :D I especially love how his bot mode eyes look through his beast mode eyes when he's transformed! :cool:

You'd better not let Trunks hear about this naysaying of Lugnut... :D

Tober: Yeah, that worked. Thanks. :)

The instructions shows the weapon in Lugnut's hands but it doesn't say that you have to keep it there to activate it in the wording. :/

The auto-morph gimmick on mine is also dodgy... one side of the cockpit/nose very easily flops open in plane mode. :(

With Lugnut, I initially was trying to get the two cockpit pieces to grip each other. However, this is the wrong approach. The arms that swing them back into place catch the hidden clip that releases them with the automorph. I found that by applying pressure here, I get the gratifying click and the cockpit holds together

EDIT:

Also, just pushing harder on the one side that is loose (as shown) seems to also engage the click:
