    So, i got cyberverse deluxe optimus recently, and the first impression is good, but i feel there's few stuff that could be made a bit better, so i try to work on it.

    First thing that bothers me is the fact that his legs can only goes 45⁰ to the side.

    So what i did is carve up some extra groove on the ballcup. Left is normal, right is after modification.

    Difference in movement range:

    It is not exactly 90⁰, but i think it is much better.

    Second thing i did is carve up the elbow to add extra range on arm bend. Left is normal, right is aftee modification.

    Yea, to be honest it doesn't add much, still thinking why i even bother doing both side after saw that, but oh well, it is a teeny improvement, i suppose?

    Third thing i do is cutting the peg on the back of the gun.

    That way, the gun can goes deeper into the fist, and looks more natural.

    It can still attach behind the cab just fine without it.

    Last thing is just applying some nail polish on the loose joints, dry it, and he is ready.

    It is not much compared to other thread on this site, i know. But i hope somebody could find these useful.
