I just picked up my Universe Superion, and Silverbolt's knees are backwards.

The issue is that they appear to be held in by pins, and I can't find a way to take them off and reverse them with minimal modding skills.

If anyone can help, please do.

 

If you dipped it in hot water would it expand the plastic to the point that you can tap the pins out?

 

maybe read the pin removal tutorial in Radicons.

 

That's what I thought at first, but then I was scared of damaging my toy.

Oh well, might as well take the plunge.

 

my silverbolt's knees are on backwards, too.

It only really effects vehicle mode, which he'll almost never be in, so I am leaving it the way it is.

 

It's like opening your eyes, and discovering that it's a whole new world out there. It might even lead you to wanting to try customizing!  

 

*sings*

A whole new world! A new fantastic point of view . . . .

I was thinking more along the lines of

There's no pin removal necessary. Rather, there's a total of eight screws.

 

Yup QFT. only need to remove them screws dat's all. pin removal not required.

I've alrdy fixed mine & the only thing you need to be aware is to keep track of all the screws that you've taken out,

 

It's not just his knees that need to be fixed, you have to swap the hips as well.

I can't pull the lower legs apart.

Advice?

 

Thanks. I saw that he had knee issues as well but I saw that the knee was held together with a rivet. and I sort of gave up.

 

Awesome.   Thanks for that.

 

REDLINE is trying to corrupt us all....

 

You mean the bulky gray portions yes?

They should almost literally fall apart when the two screws are out.

Really though, a pic of the stuck parts would quickly resolve your problem.

 

I guess I will fix mine after all.

Great links, thanks all.

 

I just did this. Man this set has been out for some time now and Hasbro still hasnt resloved the problem. Thats like selling a car with the Brake and Gas pedals switched around . Geez thats aweful lazyness Hasbro.
