Depends on how they look when they're installed. I like '74 BB's missles loaded in his shoulder cannons, so they stay. I kept losing the missle for Energon Prowl's weapon, so I've got it stored in a box with the rest. Some of the triggers on these things are really testy and I don't want to lose parts!

 

Didn't someone here have a story about an earthquake causing all their missles to fire off at their cat?

 

I like them unloaded, half the time they look stupidly unreal anyway.
Rather see the barrel hole than a long plastic rod sticking out of the end.

With them in, It looks about as dumb as a shotgun with half a broomstick handle sticking out of the barrel.

Usually keep them organized on the side so I wont lose them, and don't have to worry about any springs going out, or middle of the night auto firing.

 

I despise the misles that come with TF's. I have several baggies full of em. They are too small and can easilly be lost. So whats the point! I just keep them in a baggie in my office at home!

 

The only missiles I don't display in the launchers are those stupid "flame" missiles. I HATE how they look, so therefore I remove them for display. As a matter of fact, sometimes they (flame missiles) never even see the end of the rocket launcher, and automatically go into the storage baggie.

 

It depends on how it looks per bot. Some of mine (Movie Long arm, Armada Wheeljack, Classic seekers etc) keep their missles in cause it just looks better while others, mainly the 'flame missle' ones, get stored without the projectile. And any and all spare parts/Missles get kept in a plastic baggy next to the bag with all the instructions/paperwork.
