I found that the gundam and megazord parts married together fairly well with little effort. Update: 5/21/2012 Only thing left to do is attach the right hand, prep work, and then paint. I felt that I originally had cut a few corners and so decided to rework the arms to make them source accurate. I installed a ratchet joint in the forearm and then put the hands on a ball joint. Tiger mode turned out pretty decent and I'm happy with it. The front arms work best if bent at the elbow but can be straightened out to be show accurate.

Still Need to complete my Classics/Universe Collection: Any City Commander set, Cliffjumper devil Horns set, Protector, Warbot Defender, Crossfire Bruticus Sets, Voyager Jetfire, Inferno, Hardhead, and UM....My credit card is gonna hate me >.<
I may have to try that with mine. I'm wondering will it a) transform still, and b) will it still be able to combine with the others with no issues? Let me know how it works out ![]() |

Burnout V4 - Free papercraft energon cubes made by meThis looks like it will be fantastic and the white tigerzord was my first zord. I still have mine somewhere and I remember how hard it was to find them. I was super excited when my dad told me pre order for it arrived. Finish this soon please. ![]() ![]() My Thugger gallery |

Unfortunately, it will no longer be able to combine with the other thunderzords. No worries, I have some plans for them ![]() | |
