    So, I've figured out you can store MP-12 Sideswipe's piledrivers inside him in robot mode. It's really secure, so he's still 'playable' in this mode without fear of them falling out, however themain idea is so he can be on display without them cluttering around the shelf, or having to remain in the box (I hate having to dig out packaging from storage because I want to mess around with a figure)

    So...

    and from the side

    It all fits nice and securely without placing any stress on other parts of the figure.

    Now we can have piledriver fun whenever we want!

    They are as much weapons as the other accessories!

    There's a place for that too, but it makes Sideswipe walk funny.

    And nice find! I'll have to try this out. :)

    I just keep those in Optimus Prime's trailer since Swipe is meant to fit inside there.

    Just tried it out and it works great.

    I don't think I'll be using the piledrivers much, but I'll be using them more than I would if they were in a box in a closet! :lol 

    Thanks again!

    It'd be nice if the piledrivers were built into the forearms somehow.

    I was wondering how you were going to accomplish storing his guns, but this is pretty cool too. And yeah, those little accessory piles sitting beside my MPs kinda clutters a display.

    I think maybe it was something like storing the piledrivers inside the gaps in the hollow lower legs.

    Does that ring a bell?

    Just not sure if it was the square ones or wedge-shaped ones.
