    Just got Primus with Unicron head today and was wondering 2 things.
    Firstly, how do you activate his sound gimmics? I've seen in some reviews people show these and in some not. Mine was MIB, but when I put the omega lock in and slide it, neither sound happens. Do i have to pull a tab out to release the batteries like in unicron? also, where is the compartment and screw if i need to change them?

    Regarding his feet, these are really confusing. with his legs streight down converted from planet mode, I can feel 2 large rounded pieces sticking out, one on each heel. THere are 2 little rounded protrusions towards the underside and front of these and i can flip them open to become what seem like tiny toes. Then, the bits left at the back seem to rotate to form heels, but they don't seem to lock in place. Is this correct? i can push the heel until it clicks against something, but it springs right back out and i'm not sure this is the way it's supposed to work for the feet.

    Any help would be much appreciated, for those of you who don't know, I have no sight so can't follow the instructions for any of this, so please describe with words not pictures.

    Cheers.

    the sound gimmick goes when you transform him iirc, i pulled the batteries when i first got him
    the heel doesn't lock, just kinda sits there

    Yeah that's what I figured re the sound, can you describe where the battery compartment and screw is? I just noticed that his toes seem to have a hinge and a rotator in them, have i transformed them right by just flipping them out?

    Sound box is in his back, and the battery compartment is in his right side, just below where the ribs would be.

    Yup, got the batteries in, weirdly, it didn't come with any which would be why it wasn't making any noise :) 
    So, these feet still confuse me. i flip the toes out, which don't lock, but do I then flip over the heal pieces? in effect this would make them a lot smaller, so that rather than sticking out the back, the large slats fold over so there is a much smaller tab sticking down. But on mine at least, if I do that, the weight of him seems to collapse these as he stands. Is this normal? is he a bit of a pain to stand up or have I done something wrong?

    you can leave them out, he is a pain to stand if they aren't sat right
