    I also ditched the ratchets in favor of smooth friction joints, he's so much more poseable now! I did it with mechanical interference and a bit of super glue, though.

    Love the alt transformation, looks great.

    it's a neat concept and the execution is even better, but I can't stop laughing at the G1 Menasor head's duck lips.

    Hi OP,

    may I know if knee articulation is still possible? i have a UW menasor I'd like to try your mods on.... I think it looks gorgeous and much better than stock form.

    I might try the arms on my upgrade kitted version (too tired to remember the name).

    Hm...I've started getting ideas for an upgrade kit that's based around this idea. I'm talking Shapeways, and it's a good start to make something simple first.

    Probably wait until my PE Upgrades ship before starting though.

    Don't worry. I've saved this thread so that I can give you credit when I'm done.
