    Hey Girls'n'Guys :) 

    I figured out a VERY easy way to give DOTM Ops his "Jetpack"

    All you nee is:

    Two (!) Mechtech Guns of Voyager Ops
    Animated Blitzwing-Wings

    Pop of the Big Wings, Paint them as you would

    [​IMG]

    Stick them together

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    put them on Ops back

    [​IMG]

    And TADAA got it! :D 

    [​IMG]

    Isn't it simple isn't it? Ad the Clue is! Thing are movable! You can pose them as you would, as Wings of Course, and as a sorta of a "Cape" :D 

    You could also Add the Rear-Wings of Blitzwing to the Guns ;)  (Pics coming Soon as possible)

    That is a pretty cool adaptation. Still hate the hell out of this mold, but this looks cool.

    o_O ! oh my.. i did lol.. u kno what, i think in this thread, you have a different back drop/set up and also the pictures have alot more.. "punch" .. with better color and contrast that really makes it look good.. and i guess totally different to my eyes =P

    Turn the guns 180° and it looks just like his pack in the trailer, first thing I did when I bought the figure.

    Icephoenix: you have 2 of him too? Nice!

    But believe me, i tried every Position, this One Looks Best

    Wylungz: maybe your Glases where Dirty - you don't have Glasses? Think about that ;-D
    But Yeah, its another background! I use The White One only for superquad7, cause He prefers that :) 

    Grinkrystal: Thx Mate, i think Sharing tuts i good for The entire radicon-board

    And i decided to Share this, cause EVERYONE from 3years up to 60 or higher is Anke to do that! The clue is, that No toy get harmed, all could Be put back to original without any issues. This is Perfect for Kids, which want to replay The moviescenes, but have Bit The Money for every incarnation of their Hero! And puzzling like this is Great And easy Fun for EVERYONE :)

    That's awesome! Really wish I could do this when I get the toy.

    Only problem is I'd need two more guns (Two for jet pack, one for in hand use) and Blitzwings wings. Still very nice. Maybe I could look for the parts online

    Awesome. I came up with another one that involves Phatoka Kopaka's wings, but alas, I am without a DOTM Prime to test it on. I only have my Defender Optimus Prime.
