    Hi, sorry if this been answered before.
    I'm trying to make my siege Prime more G1, so i'm trying to mod him 'nondestructively', but found a problem.

    The arms flaps on the bottom side of his arms, i thought it would be quite easy just to unscrew and disassemble the arm to take it out, but for the life of me, i can't figure out where to pull or how it is assembled, i can only find a few seam lines where it looks like it can be done, but i'm not sure and i really don't want to break my toy.

    Any help is appreciated.

    You need to melt the glue holding the arms together try using a hair dryer

    I accidentally popped mine off when I was doing my Earthrise mod. They’re on a ‘mushroom peg’. Take the screws out, if the arm doesn’t come apart that way, then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the forearm apart. It should fall right out.

    I just popped then out. Theyre on 5mm mushroom pegs, but each time you remove then, they get looser.
