Classics Rodimus pin removal

[1AZRAEL1]

I am not very skilled with this kind of job, but I am hoping someone can help me.

I want to swap the hands over from the BiS Rodimus over to my new Ehobby Rodimus. The pin looks like it may be a little difficult to remove.

Anyone got any tips, or have done this themselves? I'm a little worried to test anything out on Ehobby, what with the exclusivity of the figure lol. I was going to attempt something on BIS Rodimus, but I want to see the best way to remove it first.

Leave that e-Hobby Rodimus alone!

LOL I'm doing something special. Unless you can supply me another Matrix?

What Matrix? The one from the BiS set?

Yea. I'm gonna modify Rodimus' hands to hold it. I don't want to cut the Matrix I have up, and I don't want to ruin the Ehobby hands, so I thought swapping them out with BiS hands would be best

There's logic there somehow (I suppose).

Have you thought that the act of swapping out the hands may end up damaging the eHobby Rodimus (the very thing that you're trying to prevent)?

I'd leave it alone to be honest mate, the clear plastic looks pretty brittle.

Did you want a Matrix to modify instead?

I'll have a look at home tonight and see if I have one laying around somewhere since I recall opening up two BiS sets - one's dangling around Galvatron's neck so I should still have a spare one somewhere.
