    How did you attach the landing gear? Could you show a picture of the underside of the drone mode? I also really like the Flameblast parts on Explorer. Makes me want to hunt a cheap one down almost.

    Actually, all three of the wheels for the landing gear are only attached by friction.

    The two rear wheels fit perfectly fine as they were when I detached them from energon Stormjet. They fit like a glove in the little gap between Explorer's feet and the edge/wall of the fuselage in altmode. But with the single front wheel I had to do a little mod'ing. I shaved it down enough to wedge between Explorer's two hands in altmode.

    It all works fine in altmode because they all fit pretty well. I can shake and move Explorer around and they all stay put. But it's not like they can store in botmode or anything.

    So it works pretty well for 1 out the 3 modes, but that's about it. I can still snap a few more pics though if you're still interested.

    how is that figure TJ? I've been curious about getting a Ultra Magnus lately and this seems like the more reasonable purchase.

    Honestly, if you're looking for a class Ultra Magnus, this upgrade to classics UM shits all over everything else. Not the most poseable thing, but looks incredible, and pretty free of QC issues.
