    I don't have Soundwave, but does Soundwave's grey match another figure's grey?

    Even city-bots and their sidekicks need a break in the hostilities occasionally. :cool:

    I rubber banded them together so they are curved into each other, and the opposing forces straighten them ....then heated them up on and off with a heat gun. I'd imagine a hair dryer might work too; just taking longer.

    They are pretty straight now.

    In regards to the terrible cheap wheels on Ratchet/Ironhide, I'm surprised no one has made an upgrade set for them; especially with how easily they pop off.

    One of the best sets IMO...sets me on the course of getting all the other Seekers and more stands.

    The ones I'm using are the standard stands that come with figmas.

    Where did you get your fillers? I only have ones for the forearms and for the shoulders to slide back, but not the feet ones.

    I boiled water, transferred it to a new container (so that the water was warm but the container wasn’t boiling hot) then submerged the swords in the water for about 10-15 seconds. It returns the “memory” of the plastic to its original orientation. Then I put them in the refrigerator to “lock it in”.

    This should also prevent over-heating and melting the plastic.

    It has feet, tricep, shoulder blade, forearm, front of knee, and 2x for the back of the knee/lower thigh.

    Notes on color matching and install:
    Siege Ironhide and Soundwave Gap Fillers

    The Bandai Action Base 4 clear stands are great for Transformers. Compatible with Transformers 3mm and 5mm ports. (Larger figures like Jetfire have a wider stand port but can be worked around). You can use up to 3 voyagers with 1 stand set. I can post some photos later.

    I was messing around in photoshop tonight and digibashed what a possible Siege Sunstreaker could look like
    siege sunstreaker.jpg

    it's somewhat rough, but everything was photographed and placed in such a way that everything you see would be the size that it would be on the figure

    Thanks for posting the link, I had been curious as to a proper match for soundwaves blue and ironhides red. I received mine from tfsafari as well. I thought the garage kit was the best deal for what I wanted for soundwave as I didn't necessarily care about the tape deck mode dr wu offers.

    It's pretty cool that you can do this, though the Magnus chestplate (unless I'm doing it wrong) doesn't fold down all the way on Optimus. Galaxy Magnus looks really cool.
