    I remember seeing a mod before and it required cutting some plastic to make the intended gimmick work.

    I watched a clip with the mod where the flame comes out on the end of the ball.

    I opened up the weapon and notcied that you would have to cut about 4 small pegs and the two large pegs that houses the screws. Plus the vertical one has to be cut down by a centimeter or so which will make it move forward as the video shows. But I think the original concept required different pieces so the flames came outwards like wings on all four compass directions. Like a claw if you will. Which would require a simple mechanism of geared ends for each falme and perhaps a slightly different ball innards.

    Although all that strength and a powerful weapon are worth bugger all against Decepticons armed with laser guns, missiles and capable of supersonic flight. Yup. Conan the Barbarian and Miyamoto Musashi ain't nuthin' against even an average F-22 Raptor pilot.

    Reminds me of "Darths and Droids" Part 8 and Part 9.

    But a F-33 Raptor pilot isn't ain't nuthin' if I summon a bigger fish!

    Swoop may posses the ability to throw fire through his mace. I don't know how, but he can spit fire in at least one if I remember correctly, maybe he could use it in a different way

    true it is a limiting weapon when compared to modern or fictional weapons others may have but it does keep in theme of the dinobots/primitive dark ages kinda look which I think is very cool.

    And good thing for Conan and Mushashi that F-22's weren't around in their day huh huh

    Of course, my logic didn't work for the Empire when their Imperial fleet and 2nd Death Star were destroyed at the hands of primitive woodland teddy bears. Yub nub!!

    You have to remember that Stormtroopers get stage fright and fail dismally at really stupid times, hence the term :Stormtrooper effect

    Caravan of Courage is a lot better than Star Wars Episode 4.5. (-_-)
