Hmmmmm, Did it take you hours & hours to reach that stage of modification?

If you're not happy with it, Would you be prepared to do all the mods again with a 2nd figure & leave that last bit out?

I actually can proudly attest to being the 1st here to do it. I got home at about 2 on Friday night and opened him and transforming him. Hating the look down, I found the thread above on seibertron.com and grabbed a kitchen knife and started doing the mod. I gave up in about 20 mins just cos I was so sleepy but did wake up early and fixed it. it took less than an hr but that's courtesy of seeing how deep to make each of the cuts thanks to the thread above. I brought it along to the meet on Saturday and showed Eric too. He was pretty curious as to what had gone wrong but I think its too late to fix the mold. Maybe ratchet but I'm not sure.

I'm fairly happy w/ the fix. I'm an utter noob but I could easily do it without a problem so I think others should be able to as well. My face is still blue though so I will need to duck over to lcz's joint to get a layer of silver.

What kind of paints have you got there? Will be needing some silver if i decide to get a Universe Cyclonus as well as Henkei Cyclonus

I would have to wait till Henkei Ironhide toy is released and study the inner mechanism of the figure before I can say if the mod is good or not or if there is a better way to mod it.

I don't get it. That circled tab is not holding back the head from looking up. It slots nicely in and doesn't affect neck/head at all.


EDIT: Ok I've found a slightly different transformation that makes him look evenly and not down. I keep the fron wheels where they are and don't put them in his backpack and lean his torso back ever so slightly. It's ok now.
