Hey guys im just about ready to throw this POS out the window! Ive managed to get this guy into jet mode but wtf do I do with those rubber pieces? Im so frustrated right now and need help! please somebody, HELP!!! thanx
The connector bits? I think those just fold away somewhere. And instead of throwing him out the window, how about giving him to me, I'll be happy to take him off your hands.
lol i think ill keep him. ive chilled out for a while so im feelin' better, and looking at him now he really is pretty cool i just dont know what to do with those parts.
In jet mode? I haven't figured it out either. They kind of just dangle there. Seibertron's picture gallery shows the rubber strap thingies conveniently in this location, but I have no idea how the photographer got this to happen, or if it can even stay in this position against the forces of gravity.
I myself had the same problem, until i somehow came across this (even though i can't understand the language ) 2009”NŒöŠJŒ€ê”Åuƒgƒ‰ƒ“ƒXƒtƒH[ƒ}[/ƒŠƒxƒ“ƒWvWEBŽæˆµà–¾‘ | TRANSFORMERS GENERATION ONE@ƒ^ƒJƒ‰ƒgƒ~[@ƒgƒ‰ƒ“ƒXƒtƒH[ƒ}[ŒöŽ®ƒTƒCƒg Choose the Jetfire instruction.. (use the image of Jetfire vehicle mode) Scroll down to Step 13 (i clicked the right button on my mouse and zoomed in ) and also watch the Step 14 Video and I seriously think Hasbro should do something like Takara-Tomy did here i am surprised they haven't tried doing this already (etc... Video and "may not have been purposely put there but" Zooming in on the instructions)
the rubber pieces go behind the legs. i fastened the 2 pieces together, then the legs hold those pieces up and out of the way. and Jetfire isn't a POS because you you didn't know how to do something. *trust me, i have several figures i haven't been able to transform that i still like.*
Thats what I do with mine when I transform him into vehicle form. To do it simply complete the entire transformation but dont peg in the legs. The parts of the straps that are connected to his body flat down on his back. Then connect the loose parts and let them sit on his stomach. Then finally clip on the legs and vualla! You gotta yourself a nice SR71 transfomer in vehicle mode!
thanks for the link!! also i know jetfire isnt a pos, i was just frustrated because i had figured out how to proprely transform everything but those little dangly pieces. I think its because i have been playing with a lot of G1 and classics lately where everything feel snug when you transform it, then switching to a movie figure...
