    Hi everyone! I have NA Octavian (Ultra Magnus) and he’s pretty floppy at the waist. He’s got a diecast hinge that is used for transformation and as an ab crunch. I looked around and there appear to be several suggestions for fixing a loose metal hinge. Does anyone know which option is best?

    1. Liquitex acrylic varnish (source:
    )
    2. Loctite 222 (comments from same source as #1 above)
    3. Future floor polish (we’ve all seen this here on TFW2005)
    4. 3M Threadlocker TL42J… don’t even know where to buy this. Also, this will supposedly destroy plastic, so have to be careful with it. (Source:
    )

    Any opinions/comments/recommendations/suggestions are appreciated.
