    OK, so I have another thread going fo help with G1 Airwave. I wanted to see if anyone else has had issues of the G1 combiners' limb bots heads breaking off inside the main body? I have a Superion with a Skydive severed head stuck in his left thigh socket, and I also have a Piranacon with some severed head in his left shoulder socket. What is the best way to get these suckers out?

    Thanks!

    I'd liked to know as well. Have my eye on a Hun-Grr with a Rippersnapper head stuck inside.

    Couldn't you just pull it out with tweezers or needle-nose pliers?

    Take the body section apart and pry the heads out, if they don't just fall out on their own. Worst case scenario is that you have to carefully dremel the heads out of the sockets.

    If the screws aren't covered by stickers you can just take apart that piece and the head will fall out.

    When I was a kid my mom got Straffe's head out of Computron's arm socket by putting a hot needle into the head, letting it cool, and then pulling it out.

    Or get a small drill bit and carefully drill into the head, then pull the head out while the drill bit is still in.
