    Hi guys, I was messing with my FOC Bruticus, and I don't seem to figure out how to pose his legs so they hold him in any pose other than just standing up straight .
    It seems the only thing holding the legs straight is that pin that plugs into the back of onslaught's hip. If I try to move the leg the pin/hole don't line up anymore. Am I doing something wrong here? Or is he only able to hold a straight pose with his arms being the possible ones?, that would be odd since he has knees, but I can'tplace his thighs properly.
    Thanks for the replies guys.

    Yeah, just unpeg that part to move his legs around.

    Do you mean that you are trying to use Onslaught's knee as Bruticus's? Bruticus's knee are the connector ports.

    I have Ruination though -- with my piece, I keep the pin together and bend the leg at Impactor/Onslaught's hip joint. I can bend it forward 1 "click" at the most as the waist guard gets in the way already. I counter the forward lean by clicking the connector joints of the leg 'bots 1 "click" back. Gravity and his torso's weight help keep everything together.

    I use every joint he's got. And like Valkysas said, you can just unpeg Onslaught's feet and use his knees. Like this

    when bending his knees, just make sure you untab swindle's chest plate unless you want to break the tabs off.

    Also very good advice. Every time you move that connector piece really.

    I try that but I can't keep the legs on any pose, the leg just goes limp and can't hold any pose other than straight up

    Yeah, unlocking onslaught's hips is the only way I see, you unlock it then bend the knee at brawl/swindle for his knee articulation. But the hip articulation for the combined mode is at onsalught's knees, right?

    No, Bruticus's hips are Onslaught's hips and his knees are the connectors. Maybe some pics would help me understand what the issue you're having is.

    Yeah I figured it out, what you said was the correct way of posing his combined mode legs. The issue was that I couldn't figure out how to pose his legs without unpegging them from onslaught's back. My mistake was that I thought that Bruticus hip articulation was on Onslaught's knees, rather than on Onslaught's hips. I was getting confused due to the crotch plate, the way it is it looks like you couldn't move onslaught's legs far enough to actually be able to pose Bruticus's legs, but you can, and now I have put him in some nice poses.
    Thanks guys for taking the time and trying to help.
