You're right! Cool, now I know which shelf to put him on when I get home. :)

Although I find the jaw jams into his chest which stops it from moving, and only the top part of the head moves... so he looks like a Muppet when he's "talking." :p

Mind you, I only had a brief fiddle when I opened this toy last night before going off to bed. ;)

Damn freakin' straight!! That was the worst thing about Animated Luggie... just felt like I bought a chunky Deluxe but paid a Voyager price. :( Animated Luggie might be more worthwhile if cheap, but I paid full RRP.

Lugnut does not belong to a Universe. The Universe belongs to Lugnut:p

Haha - Clearly Drift is a Lugnut-ian Herald! :p:D

For all you glorious Lugnut lovers:

1. How do you guys display his missile launcher in bot mode? Do you leave it dangling off the back of the plane kibble or swing it around so it's a hip mounted launcher?

2. Do you guys fully extend his legs or leave it slightly retracted (to give him a shorter, squat appearance but maintain balance & fill out his legs more)?

Just curious as I only just discovered both these abilities (hip mount and squatter legs), despite having this guy for ages. :o

And if you don't know what I'm referring to, have a look at peaugh's review for reference.

Squat legs is definitely correct, like so:

And I just leave the missile launcher undeployed. If anyone can come up with a way of actually making it look glorious in robot mode, I'd be interested. (But I do think it looks better as a hip-gun a la G1 Megatron than it does over his head.)

That is the way I've always transformed him, I didn't know there was another way :confused: and after having tried it - I think I'll stick to Squatter Legs. ;):)

I just pretend that it is unaccessible to him in Bot mode as I think it was a bit of a design after-thought, it makes far more sense in Alt mode IMO - So yeah, mine stays tucked away. ;):)

I actually meant squatter than that SS - to the point where the purple is pushed down and forwards into his knee guards so as to resemble one solid unit.

See my attached pics - one is fully extended and one is fully compressed.

And also note his glorious hip holstered missile launcher. :p

I extend the legs. I also leave the launcher dangling so that other 'bots can ask him, "How's it hanging?" ;) The launcher only goes up in the presence of Megatron. :D

ZING!

I assumed the launcer was a lame throwback to the animated ep when luggy has alla them missiles what pop outta his shoulders. That was cool. One wally launcher like he has looks lame.

However, you can make him look like a horny plane....


:rolleyes:
