    Not a great quality pic but the Gist is there...

    ...I strip off the limbs and weapons from the torso, flip up the cockpit chest & rear head cover, rotate his hips 45° and use the rear peg hip to plug him into the 5mm weapon port at the top of the rear arm. Bingo! Near as dammit to G1 and sensibly in proximity to the city mode helipad.
    Also the Hasblokes have clearly ported proto-Slammer into the port clearly intended for his crane arm, as the round detailing on that port makes obvious (and is probably the whole reason why his Battle Station crane arm is unpluggable)!
    Or at least that sort are usually for a kind of "niche"!

    Jesus, they really are desperate not to have two HasLabs fail across brands, aren't they?

    Oh, the children. I thought OS was a bit bland so it'll be interesting to see.

    Genius on the Ann Summers perversion of the Transformers catchline. Made me chuckle out loud. I am a wrong un.

    So, this new Ghostbusters set that Hasbro put out...

    That's really the name you went with for this set?! I mean... REALLY?! This is what a porn parody of Ghostbusters would be called.

    At least the set looks good :D

    Perhaps someone at HasLab might duly note timing campaigns both 1) Across multiple brands, and B) in the run-up to the Festive Season simultaneously, eh?
    If I'm right in thinking you mean plugging them in where the second gun goes, probably not because....

    ...it's this here L-bend!

    This situation calls for some serious in-hand experimentation, in about a week or so, hopefully!

    Also I'm guessing that the proper tower mode is actually this:

    At least I really hope so!

    Praying that the waist peg is also a 5mm one!

    Should be a 5 mm peg, wouldn't see any reason for it to be any different?
