    HMMM Color me deeply intrigued...

    Works MUCH better as Huffer now....

    Sitting at my desk at work, I can't quite work out mentally how this works, but I really want to figure it out!

    i just removed the spring mechanism and missile assembly of the cyber-key gimmick to allow the grill to flip back all the way down and stay there.next, using a piece of square styrene i made a sliding joint for the crotch to extend down for robot mode and cut along the front and inside in a straight line a little to allow the legs to flip down to where the new lower torso/grill would be.

    That's pretty cool! I'd already done my repaint Huffer from this mold, so I will leave him as is. However, this solves the problem of a Pipes custom for me. Now
    I see where to put his exhaust pipes/ new shoulder cannons. Giggedy.

    That is very awesome. I'm definitely going to have to give this a go. Or at least the good old college try.

    Very nicely done. It's nice to see someone flesh out almost to a tee what I have had in my head for months now, and now I see that it works, and well too. Absolutely Huffer there!

    Now that's how Huffer is done! Great job here, Miko! The mods are great and now that I see it painted up, it looks perfect. In other words, no need to hinge that grill like I mentioned to you previously.

    Now I need to find one of these little guys. Never snagged one when they were out.
