    yeah, it'll be tough and challenging to say the least. Optimally, you'd want 1 power source and switch for ALL the lights. I know it would be easier to wire and power each "headlight" independently. I wish I had the steady hands time and patience to wire something like that up.

    Lights really bring it to life. We all have our talents and I learned awhile ago I'm useless with solder. What are magnet wires?

    yeah..i agree...lights do bring out the "movie-esque" of these ROTF figs..coz..i think it was prime and ratchet who used their chests for light on the first TFmovie.
    anyway, dont say that about yourself. if you wanted to learn, you will learn how to solder. i dont have steady hands, but i have what's called a "helping hand" . This helps me big time. it's got two metals clamps that are adjustable with metal joints and hinges, plus a magnifying lense in the middle so that you can really work on those tiny, minute, and steady electronics.

    That looks super sweet!

    Do you know of any tutorials on the interwebs about how to get started with LED's?

    cool tip for the beginners. I find it useful if you're still starting out doing LEDs for the first time. good job Hakka!
