Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

I was playing with FOC Bruticus last night and could not for the life of me work out how Vortex can be a leg. There was no obvious way to give him a foot. The conclusion I came to was just plug him in as a helicopter.

Pretty much the same with blast-off too.(Except space shuttle, not chopper)

Anyoone got any good configs? It's a shame as Swindle and Brawl both make good legs and arms, but the fliers, only arms...

Anybody know when exactly is the next Parramatta Fair is on February? Just need to make sure I request it on my roster to be day off. Our rosters are made 2 months ahead so I gotta keep an eye early. Cheers!

Re-watched TF:TM for the 22,357 time yesterday (it's a Xmas tradition) and realised that when (spoiler alert for those 26 years late to the party) Prime died and handed Magnus the Matrix, it just slotted straight into his chest like he had a spot reserved for it which got me thinking... are all Transformers built with a cavity in their chests to hold the Matrix if they become the Chosen One?

Sssh! It's cos he's really a repaint of Optimus Prime.

Hmm, good point. Maybe the matrix does some inta-reformatting. Or All Transformers have a matrix cavity like we have appendixes (so they can keep the surprise). Rodimus juts plops it in there too. Although he did change into Rodimus though.

I agree with Gok though. It's coz he is a white Optimus

[liegeprime]

Left arm? or the right arm? the one used to attach the Fusion cannon? nope that's not removable.

Does anyone know the reason behind the way G1 Wheeljack's doors open? It doesn't represent how they would open in real life, or are they supposed to be like that in robot mode (I am still waiting for some instructions in the mail) I had him when I was little but am pretty sure the doors aren't in the instructions.

I just checked and it's step 3 in the instructions. It's to give him a slimmer waist I suppose, for aesthetic reasons.

If you ever need to reference the instructions, Botch's site is handy to bookmark
