    Damn it this is becoming harder and harder to resist. Can someone who has MP10 and ToyWorld Primorion take a picture of them next to this to show how tall they stack up to each other?

    Rolling Thunder doesn't have visible doors so mega bloks minifigs don't look that off-scale

    Does anyone know how to close this gap so the knee caps can go over the leg armor for vehicle mode?
    The instructions are just terrible and don't show how to make this look clean.
    I've pushed the robot legs as far into the leg armor as I can and still can't close this gap.
    This causes the leg armor rear wheels to never touch the ground, so they don't roll and are completely useless.
    I'll check a youtube video if no one knows what I'm doing wrong here.

    Watch emgo316. His just Transform it video shows how to do it. You move the shin back and up. It goes right behind the gun turret. Also reverse the rocket part of the leg. Will allow you to push it in further and line it up.

    The heel might be rotated the wrong way. Mine were in the first pic and the new pics slid completely down.

    Struggeld a bit with the same issue. Will try to explain it:

    - Point the leg cannons straight back (or just remove them while doing this).
    - Move the knee caps back as far as you can and have them point upwards.
    - the piece should now sit flush against the legs
    - you'll notice there are small tabs on it. Fold the knee caps down and have them sit over these tabs.

    This was the exact issue I had with mine, his heel pieces were upside down out of the packaging, once they were properly oriented, the leg covers slid on very easy, locking in place and allowing the knee cover to fold over top and lock into place properly. Kinda funny to think the simple orientation of a heel piece I thought was perfectly mirrored was the only hangup.

    I just watched Emgo's video and his leg armor not only slides easily over the legs, but it snaps down onto the leg. Mines refuses to snap down no matter how much pressure I push down on it. There's got to be some hidden trick I'm still not getting.
    What is the "rocket part of the leg" you are referring to? I don't see any rockets on the legs.

    The heel doesn't rotate. The toes just flip down and that's it. Can you explain what you mean by "rotated'?

    Ok, knee caps are flipped up as far as they go, not like it matters, the leg armor goes on, but won't budge any further up the lower legs (shin), and... small tabs? What small tabs? I don't see any small tabs. Small tabs on what exactly?

    There seems to be something with the leg armor that is fighting against the robot legs, and that's keeping me from pushing the leg armor further up or into the rest of the lower legs (shins).

    OK, that helped. I'm not the smartest person in the world when it comes to things and watchamacallit. That little heel rotation is so damn aggravating.

    Yeah, as dumb as it seems, that's all it took to get mine in order, once the base heel was swiveled around correctly, the leg covers dropped in place mostly on their own with little effort on my part, locking the diecast peg into them and allowing the knee cover to fold over. Now that you have that out of the way, you can move on to seeing if your missile arms were properly aligned, or if your foldover front wheels were misassembled. As much as I love this release, it's had some weird quirks and odd QC issues come up, especially for something delayed for so long.
