    Wahaha, the 100th post in this thread!

    Super Base Primes gun attaches to the top of the multiplatform tower, when its in base mode.

    Simply swing the grey thing out, (so it points toward the legs, but the gun itself faces the same way as the runway) and you can attach it to the top of the tower.

    Hot Shot when you release his Axle cannon and fit in the blank area and from a new weapon for him. Smokescreen can do the same thing I believe when you release his "Longarm Cannon" Maybe Blurr in Flight mode could make a sort of Rocketpack for him...

    well,
    right now my RID mirage GT is sitting atop my RID Sideways in his motorcyclre mode. remindes me of the junkions.
    since i dont have an artfire (as im sure many of you dont), you can still make G1/G2 inferno into a targetmaster, kinda. simply point his latter in robot mode towards the front (over his head pointing ahead) and stick a targetmaster in the foremost slot on the ladder. right now spoilsport looks very nice up there.
    sixshot can hold his guns on his shoulders. just slip the bottom of them into the slots next to his head.(not sure if that ones documented as i dont have the instruction).
    as any knowledgable TF fan knows, you can switch out any G1 gestault member for another (except devestator, predaking, monstructor) as well as attaching the limbs onto metroplex's arms and knees.
    i somehow managed to attached all of the technobot asseccories onto Computron, so there are non lying about. and i must say he is one powerful looking mo-fo right now.
    also ive heard that hun-grrr has a hidden base looking form, like many of the other gestault leaders. can anyone confirm this/ show pictures of it.
    and ive done some very nice things with God Ginrai.

    thats all from me.

    I know EXACTLY what the swively thing is for on Prime's gun.

    You peg it onto the top tower (in base mode) on the far back hole, but point it BACKWARDS. It fits there perfectly. Basically its to sort of have a gun on there that isn't "deployed" yet, and then you can swivel it around to have it "armed", if you will.

    At least that is the closest thing I have found for its use. You'd find that it clicks into place perfectly........so I can see no other reason for it.

    BW Rammulus looks like he has a pseudo-flight mode. Just put him in robot mode and extent the beast legs streight out to the sides. Also, mount the weapon on the rack using the beast head. It does look pretty cool

    This isn't really hidden, but you can also give regular Armada Prime a jetpack, by putting Jetfire's sheild, upside down, on Prime's back and then inserting Jetfire's removable rocket in the hole.

    i'm sure everyone knows this, but G1 prime's hands fit perfectly in his cab in truck mode for easy storage.

    also you can give G1 bumblebee a gun by using G1 bonecrusher's gun. simply wedge the handle of the gun into that little thing on the arm between the wheels, it's a perfect fit.

    If you want to give the grey G2 laser rod a gun, devastator's gun works great.
    I really like this thread, the thing about Cyclonus rotorblade is badass.

    not sure if anyone knnows this, but I just purchased thrust, and you can take the launcher from his minicon and post it on his arms.... it doesn't say you can do that in the manual, but it's another degree of firepower, looks cool too! :D

    I'll try to take some pics of RiD Prime in G1 mode. They won't be on for a while because I just put a new roll of film in my camera, so it'll be a week or so.

    You can get a great base mode out of RID Magnus. In fact, it looks more convincing then RID Primes base mode. Its pretty simple. Switch legs, spread them out. Hime the head. Remove the forarms and open them like radar dishes. Peg them onto the "fences" of his base mode. Finagle the ramp to yoyr liking.
