Removing Classics Megatron's Wings So They Can Re-attach

This is to show exactly how I removed the wings and made it so they snap back on. Now that I found another Classics Megs, here it is.



Super-simple, carve the groove down to the metal pin, yank the whole trigger/wing assembly out as one big piece, pin still attached. Now you can snap the pin back in the groove when it's gun-mode time and it'll stay. Rar!
