    Yea it does...

    You may want to work on your explanations next time.

    And also think about what a hidden feature actually is....

    It's more of a design fluke, but it's a surprisingly tight fit.

    Last night I started on my long awaited project of cleaning my figures; however, I also wanted to watch the Bowl Game on my phone as well and I didn't have anything to adequately prop it up without it falling over.

    Well, Airwaves little defense base sure came in handy, didn't it ?

    Can I get a few shouts out about this ? Lol, it is the ultimate hidden feature that was nearly 20 years ahead of its time.

    (Bonus shots of Fort Max, Trypticon munching on an Autobot MM combiner, Liokaiser, and POTP figures....

    Maybe Hasbro should get into the 21st century and have a pdf on their website that lists everything that is too expensive to print.

    That is an amazing undocumented feature. Thank you. I'm gonna use it like that too from now on.

    You can store TR Octane's gun between his front halves in jetmode.

    Your welcome.

    Now, does Trypticon eating MM combiners also count as an undocumented feature, lol ?

    I'm sorry everyone. Let me see if I can upload them to a better photo site and I'll repost them.

    What would be the best site to use ?

    This isn't really a hidden feature, more of a scrapped part of the figure or just leftover from a designer/pure luck, but if you unplug the tip of the nosecone from the mega child/mega jet shield and pull out the orange under canopy you can slide the shield into overlords forearm ala the anime and then surprisingly you can plug the tip back on and it will lock in pretty damn well, only downside is the orange under canopy needs to be flipped out so you're stuck with over lords elbow bent while using the forearm shield.

    PC, Chrome, no images.


    You could upload them direct to the site. I do it.

    The main part of Potp Optimus' rifle has four 5mm ports on it, in addition to the barrels on both segments being 5mm as well. Could go crazy with the Unite Warriors Computron/Ruination weapons and Titan Masters. Also noticed that the box back shows his rifle stored on his back in combined mode even though he has his complete rifle in hand. :D  Edit; Just noticed that PotP Rodimus has storage for his rifle as well, the back section has a slot that fits the trailer tab that goes into his car roof in combined mode.
