    Your end goal:

    Cutting:

    - Score the indented line between the crotch and torso area first.
    - Then proceed to cut.

    More cutting:

    - Since the two wing pegs hinders articulation you have to cut it. Make sure you cut as little possible to be able to peg the wings again.
    - The support plastic found near square in the middle on the back of the crotch also hinders it. It needs to be cut. Make sure do this carefully and to leave enough to support the belt area of the crotch piece. when you're removing the plastic make sure not to force it too much or you'll end up cutting or worse bending the plastic.

    The waist peg.
    - I used a dollarstore missile from a minibot I found. I adjusted the size of it while I had PG in alt mode to ensure a smooth transformation. In hindsight you can use any T shaped plastic piece to hold onto the crotch piece instead of just using friction.

    It is secure.

    With this and then the elbow mod, he's darn near a mini MP, fantastic! Kinda hoping we get an oversize KO to do up as an MP stand in

    Thank you for this mod. I did this and the elbow mod to my PG today while I was snowed in from work.
