No i had to fiddle with and transform him into robot mode, and in less than five minutes I managed to crack the gold piece above his foot and and crack straight thru one fo the hinges on his foot. I am so pissed at myself. anyways, is there anything that will work to fix him. I am considereing using a bonding agent called hi-sol and trying to fix it. any body got any tips, besides telling me Im a dumbassLOL. I dont want to keep him in scorpion mode for the rest of its toy life, but right now, i cant risk any more damage. any help would be appreciated.-MR |

You could try removing the gold parts, and swaping them with painted scorponok parts? |

I've always heard about the GPS syndrome, but damn, i never knew it was this bad. well, he's still mint and completely unused(unapplied stickers, complete paperwork). once I find out which bonding agent to use, we will see. you would think somone wouldve made repo parts for him already. I would pay good cash for some identical repo parts, and I'm sure that person could make out pretty well for themselves for those parts. |

Sorry for your loss. | I knew about the other parts but I didnt think his feet would be that fragile also. and man, are they fragile. well, he still looks good in scorpy mode. |
