    I did this to my starscream custom too! I had to pry open the screws and disassemble the legs but it works great!

    I am working on a Tutorial for this mod. A very detailed one. I didn't go cheap either I also am giving the anlkes "turning pivots" to provide even more articulation. The arm mod is only changed by adding the neoshifter connection point as well.

    a note to anyone doing this mod, the plastic is very different from most TF 's , if you plan to paint use dishsoap and warm water to soak off the Excess oils(neoshifters are dipped in the stuff, seemingly) dont use any harse chemicals, it will probably melt the parts. If you plan to cut any peices use a set of wire cutters or an exacto. rotary tools get too hot and change the forming of the plastic(learned that the hard way)

    Ah well, I have mine rotating. I thought all you guys had that! Filled up the hole with putty so that it has a very snug fit. If you can use my pictures please feel free to use them!
