Yeah, those "plates" on his hips give me troubles. You don't know until your almost finished if you have all the ball swivels turned the right way.
Death Star Darth Vader, panels that never stay in place. Animated voyager Bulkhead, can't get the arms in place. I'm glad that most of G1 is fairly easy to transform.
Beast Wars Neo is cool if you enjoy major shellforming. Big Convoy, for example. You can form his alt mode just using his shell. I never really TF my figures. Transform them to robot mode and leave them.
I bet the hardest G1 was Sixshot. I'll bet that with ROTF Prime, it is something so simple, I'm going to laugh silly when I figure it out and have it complete. I'm glad my MP04 is simple and I enjoy transforming him back and forth.
It sounds like you're missing the same thing I used to. The 'blocks' from his lower chest slot into his arms, just above the elbow joint.
Are you referring to the spring-loaded bits that are underneath his windshields? A pic would be helpful.
There are very few figures I HATE transforming. ROTF Mixmaster is about to go on eBay because I can't get him into vehicle mode. Dinobot Slapper (who is from BWNeo, right?) is a pain. I don't hate transforming MP Megatron... I just fear it.
My only problem with MPM is his legs. I can get the rest of him figured out. It's just his legs never seem to go in the up and locked position to form the handle for gun mode. Plus, he's ridiculously oversized for gun mode anyway.
100% agreed!! Mine actually broke. Not from me smashing it, but the small black plastic slider piece at the mid section cracked and comes apart. Now I just transform both halves and then put it together Much easier to focus on one half at a time now.
i'm not sure what your problem with rotf leader prime's chest area is but bikertrashwolf's rereview might help if i'm thinking what you're thinking YouTube - RotF Optimus Prime :Redux:
ROTF Mixmaster. (voyager) His panels stay everywhere. Sure Im doing his legs wrong too, but he looks taller g*d dammit.
