Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

hi does TM Haywire fit into the hands of Generations Drift?
How does Blurr get his Earth-mode vehicle mode (scan?) in ongoing 3?
is Universe 2.0 Galvatron an Earth Mode or cybertronian alt mode, has Galvatron ever appear as a cybertronian tank before?
Which Spychanger in the cartoon series could turn invisible and consider the intelligence gatherer? ta

1. I'm guessing Haywire was Blurrs TM partner in G1. In which case I don't know. Nightstick does though, so I suppose you could swap them out if you're feeling the itch.

2. It's not shown, he just appears in his new form. Ostensibly he scanned it between the end of AHM and the start of Ongoing.

3. Galvatron does exist in IDW, but he's been shown to have his G1 alt and robot modes. Except slightly bulkier and spikier looking. From memory we've seen his altmode once (in his Spotlight). Either way he's not been shown to be a tank ever - which is a shame because I love that mold.

4. Mirage at a guess.

Ok so I own the Generations Drift figure, but I have NO IDEA who he is.

Where do I start on his character/story?

Theres a debate that goes on for a few pages regarding his worth starting on this page of this thread

I'm having some trouble transforming Jetfire

As you can see in the first image there is a peg sticking out, there is also a port but I'm starting to think that there is something wrong with mine it looks like the figure is MEANT to have the peg and port connected up and I can't find anyway of moving it together as it is one piece, I'm worried if I use force it will break. Since this peg can't hook in, the alignment of the jet turns out all wrong, the back peace levitates above the others shown in the photo bellow.

Any suggestions?

I see what you've done. Yes, that little post/peg is supposed to slot into a hole in that hindged bit. I had to fiddle with mine a bit to make it pop out, and found that if you folded that wing section too far to 90degees, that little post pops out and gets caught. And with a bit of further fiddling, I found that the best way to get it back in without disassembling that section - is to force it. Carefully though! When you have those two panels lined up like in your second photo, just slowly force them together as they are supposed to be, and the pin should pop back into its hole. (and just be sure not to over extend that hinge again)
If you are still not sure about doing it that way, loosening the two screws on the other side should let you slot it back in, and then just tighten the screws back up again.

This has reminded me why I don't like that toy much...
