    Hey guys!

    It's been a while, I've been really eager to get my hands on this figure ever since this little conversion popped into my head- so here it is: Converting DOTM Half-Track/Sandstorm's roll cage into a dual cannon.

    DOTM Sandstorm/Half-Track, to me, is a sweet little figure- and I figured he deserved a badass upgrade- so here's how ya do it:

    1) Go to Menards (which is where I went, but anywhere you can find these) and get some wire crimp electrical terminal ends- they sell them in little bags and they're for electrical connections between wires. (I guess? I'm not a handy man, I just found them and thought they'd work well for gun barrel ends...lol)

    Size: 22-16 AWG/0.250"

    2) Cut the front section of the upper roll cage section off.

    4) Remove the metal piece from the wire terminal, and pop/shove the red/colored piece onto the ends of the remaining roll cage bars- no super glue or anything else required- it's a tight fit.

    5) Unscrew the lower roll cage bars from his waist, and re-install the screws afterwards.

    6) Do a little dance, and you're done! XD

    Pretty simple, and IMO it works really well for him- and he can still transform just fine- no issues at all.

    I also have Sandstorm on the way, and he's definitely in line for this modification. ^_^

    Like it, looks like the start of Ruckus perhaps.
