    the hip mods are worth it, trust me. I have them on my Prime and its amazing how much nicer it makes the figure... also have done this shoulder mod and it too is a much needed improvement.

    Just did the shoulder mod on my ROTF Prime. Just used my x-acto knife to make the cut. So impressed by the results. Thanks savio-prime. Great mod.

    Just did this. Was quite of a grind considering I had to use a Swiss Army knife, but worth it. Thanks Savio

    DotM LC Prime mold, backpack mod

    I never liked how far out the rear wheel covers stuck out on Prime's back in bot mode.

    I didn't want to do anything too extensive, but I wanted to make it more screen accurate and simple too. Here is what i came up with...

    Parts are 3D modeled, designed to snap onto the dark gray connector between the toolboxes and the rear wheel covers like a collar.
    Pin hinge is used to bring both rear wheel covers up and into the center of his back.

    This modification preserves the transformation. I just removed the covers from the new parts so you can see what the parts do. ;)

    I'vebeen trying so hard to figure out the best way to do this, and you'veexecuted it brilliantly. Howdoes this effect transformation? Any at all?

    Thank you for all the compliments guys! Many of the comments cracked me up!

    OP83, transformation remains but is now done this way (truck mode to robot mode):

    1. Fold up and turn/spin covers inward
    2. Raise them up
    3. Slide them in to center
