    Hey everyone! I've been trying to figure this out for a bit now... I got a junker Classics DVD edition Optimus from the 2-pack. I also have a junker megatron of the same 2-pack... but thats another post for another day. So far, ive been able to complete most of the main body on OP, and all I really need at this point is a pair of the leg connectors that connect the thighs to the waist. One other thing I need to complete the figure itself is the front wheels. They connect somehow, but for the life of me I can't figure out how! This is where you all come in... I was wondering if you guys could snap a picture of how the front wheels connect to the main bot. I want to see if the pieces I have have any chance of being salvagable!

    Also... I know this figure can tend to be on the cheaper side, but I am a completionist in the sense i want incomplete figures to be complete again. 'Tis a noble quest... but one i love doing. Thank you everyone! If this isnt the right thread to do this in, please do point me in the right direction!

    Ah I see. The wheel wells also appear to be pinned. In addition, there is a spring for each side, but I don't think the spring loaded action is necessary for transformation, so the springs could be left out.

    Dangit i gotta scrap those pieces... Grrr. Oh well! Thank you so much! I bet i could probably 3D print that easy enough... I have a good chunk of the parts left to base it off of.
