    I'm not good at explaining :eek:  but anyway, mostly all modifications where inspired by Audi and Savio with my own twist ;) 

    The chest part was a scratch built hinge that will allow the bumper to go down...then being hold by a strong magnet when returned back​

    I really like the head on this figure. It's a good size and well sculpted. Did you also make that, or did it come like that?

    Those shoulders with the wheels in them look great! Can you show the steps of transformation with them?

    The way mine transforms doesn't allow getting the wheels into the shoulders the way i would like, but it certainly looks nice on yours. Also, seeing how you went the length to separate the bumper from the front to drop in front of his abdomen inspired me to that to mine! Great work.

    this wants me to not tell at all... :p  lol anyway, the wheels are attached with a rubber mold to his back allowing it to be placed on his shoulder without hindering the articulation of the arms. the mold was like the rubber from a leader class jetfire that holds optimus when they combine but thinner.

    Hope this clears everything and I will soon attach the photo so that you get my point....Thanks! :wink:

    Thanks! I just got an extra ratchet off Ebay because my son broke a piece off mine. I might pop the wheels off the spare and cut them down to fit in my original one's shoulders...
