    The numbers would be a useful advantage... if they jumped anyone but this mean-tough-sunavagun! (Having a set of Decepticon Goons to get beaten down by the Bots is just so much fun).

    I got the Refraktor 3 pack, and since I hadn't seen people trying it, I tried to follow one of the combined ship fan modes with the extra pieces incorporated.

    Weird to buy this set with no attachment to actually having the camera mode, I know, but I just liked the colors and the combined ship mode ideas already had me convinced to buy three of this mold regardless, haha!

    So I can't stress this enough: If you want some amazing weapons for Nightbird go get some of the Movie Ninja Turtle figures from ebay. You can get them for 4.99 on ebay sent from China and just toss the figure away if you want because the weapons are what matter. Mikey and Donny's weapons I had to do some minor sanding to get her to hold them properly but Leo's swords she holds real well and Raph's you can twist and hit a sweet spot where they are nice and firmly gripped.

    As much as it would have been nice if they had altered the mold more to fit in with Siege, Greenlight is still a cool figure. I gave her one of Cog's guns for these photos, but I may get a 3P gun and paint it. That flaming sword mode of her Battlemaster is very cool, but I think it makes sense for her to have a ranged weapon as well.

    I guess Dazzlestrike is a kind of a Cybertronian Red XIII. With more fire. Maybe he's an escapee from Shockwave's lab. :)

    3. Yes! Given the challenges that any Prowl figure faces (the amount of white plastic), he's the one most in need of headlights. Ah, well. I'm pretty high on the figure now. I would have passed on the him entirely if I didn't notice a few customs using the Toyhax reprolabels. Still waiting to order that. Just waiting on Ratchet's set to go up.

    May be misremembering things, but I'm pretty sure my Prowl has small yellow paint apps on his headlights that blend in with the white a bit.

    Megatron sporting the DSA G1 upgrade kit.

    Had to add four layers of superglue to the gun barrel to make it stick securely on his back and file down the peg on his gun but he looks so much better now.

    It tabs into the forehead blue transparent square. There's a spring behind it. Make sure it's not stuck for whatever reason.

    Hmm. Possibilities: spring is too strong, forehead port is too tight, mask peg is too big. The port is made from the two parts of the front head coming together. I wonder if taking apart the head once would loosen it up enough for the peg to stay and you could also check out the spring at the same time.

    I posted a tutorial earlier for disassembling the head (I had made a head LED mod for Jetfire):
    War for Cybertron: Siege Appreciation Thread

    Edit: Also, there's no latching mechanism for the spring / forehead piece.

    In your case, you would not need to go past step 3.

    Edit #2: Link got changed after thread clean-up I guess. Updated link.
