    A few notes on the figure since the pictures really are self explanatory. Just notice the placement of he knees and the boot tips and how I have slotted them under tabs. This Also gives the vehicle mode extra stability AND THE WHEELS TURN.

    It's a GI Joe figure in a shell former which is also a parts former. I shouldn't like it, but it sits so well next to The other bots in the line, that its easily my favourite Arcee after the 1st edition Prime Arcee which actually transforms.

    Also, bonus face paint inspiration picture.
    Shout out to neurowing for the gray accents on he helmet I'll soon be copying.

    How does she look from the front with her arms up in your configuration, instead of tucked under the legs?

    From dead front fingers are visible but The hands are symmetrical So it fits the aesthetic of the white "grill section". From a play perspective or lower than eye hight they are hidden away. When I'm at home,
    I'll add another pic or two.

    Looks good, just tried it with mine.
    If you rotate the biceps, you can get the hands together under the hood extension, and they hide a little better.

    Also a Good alternative. I'm a sucker for having things feel like they have slotted in place, so I chose my hand placement based on the satisfying "click" the hand holes made around the square joint between the front bonnet sides and the hood extension. Did you turn your hands to be thumb first or fingers first?

    Thumbs first. Basically just raise her arms from robot mode and fit the hands under the bit of he hood that flips down.
