Why does that exist? And why do I think it would be hilarious to slip that into the pre-trailer slide show at the theater before the movie, then watch everyone flip out.

so i pulled apart blackout's torso to see if i could recognize what's in there that's giving so many of you guys fits. it's not too complicated. from robot: 1. remove rotor. unclip shoulders from torso, rotate back out of the way. 2. remove two screws on right side of cockpit/torso. remove right side. 3. note where the head automorph gear meshes with the body gear. 4. the left side is connected to the through supports that the whole mess rotates around. there is a spring connected to this on the left side. mine didn't give me much trouble, but i imagine this is what could be cocking up the automorph process and giving it a mind of its own. 5. pull out the left side cockpit piece. this will stretch and eventually pop off that little spring. it is unnecessary for the automorph process. tell it to gently caress off, and possibly get a job. 6. realize, now that it's off and sitting on your hand, that blackout has a little landing gear behind his head that you never noticed before. neat. 7. replace the left side, slide the head module on re-aligning the gear like you noted before. 8. installation of right side is reverse of disassembly  if this doesn't fix it, failing all else you could always get in there and hobby knife the head gear until it doesn't mesh at all, it's tight enough to rotate on its own without problems. maybe they'll fix all the snafus when they make the BLACKOUT LEADER CLASS FIGURE THAT HE loving DESERVES, ARE YOU LISTENING HASBRO YOU JERKS? GOOD LUCK

SassyRobot posted:Personal Ransack repaint which has resulted in ruining one 'bot thus far. Up close she has severe paint scrapes... once I find out where it went, I have a third sanded one which I hope will turn out better. You could try some clear nail polish on the spots that get rubbed a lot, as well as sealing it with a matte/glossy coat. Also what Vaporware said. I contemplated painting Ransack into Wheelie myself.

Pharaoh Dust posted:That's it? My own crime-against-nature fan character got into far worse mischief when I was 13. Big deal out of nothing, you! I was expecting at least something that made me knit my brows and pout while I tried to comprehend why it existed. I must see the Hello Kitty Megs shirt. Please show it to us! I have a few little TF characters I made up myself but they've never been involved in anything that would make the Pope scream . Thank god my adolescent mayhem was confined to one fandom which will remain unnamed. Robots don't gawt penors unless you believe crazy people.Unfortunately this little discussion brought back very  memories of fanfic highlights I read at GAFF. Yaaaay, fancharacter rapes Cyclonus!... somehow. The absurd lengths some people go to for the sake of porn is hilarious.My little hellions are more for the challenge of making a workable robot which could be a toy. I don't do much else with them. Time Bomb is just loving awesome, okay? As for my repaint... I tried nailpolish on the first attempt. It failed miserably. The second had a generous amount of clearcoat. That didn't work. The third and final attempt has the joint areas heavily sanded and will have clearcoat. Hopefully I can get it right. Bonus: COBRAAAA!

On the subject of Blackout and his eccentric features, how exactly do you remove his rotors for use as swords? They don't seem to want to pop out, and I keep worrying I'll just snap one off.

Keldroc posted:On the subject of Blackout and his eccentric features, how exactly do you remove his rotors for use as swords? They don't seem to want to pop out, and I keep worrying I'll just snap one off. each blade mounting point has a little notch where it's a little more open than the rest of the clip. point the blade straight out from there and push down slightly as you pull it out. it's just a couple of little nubbins keeping it in place. i haven't really removed them more than a couple of times because i fear eventually that the plastic will start weakening and his blades will be all wobbly like.

The game broke my 360. I played it and after completing the first Bumblebee set of missions the game kept freezing. So I tried Gears of War, it froze too. 3 Red Lights. Thankfully it's fully under warranty, I don't have to pay a cent, even for shipping, I just won't have a 360 for a while.

Has anyone here gotten the G1 Soundwave from Toys R Us? I was planning on getting it when I get my next paycheck, but just wanted to know how good it is (like, will it fall apart after transforming it more than once or something). Also, the DS game is fun, but when it's hard, it's real loving hard. I'm at the one where you play as Megatron and have to kill Jazz. If there's something I'm missing about that mission that will make it easier, please tell me.

I got to #3 and noticed that I could get the inner gear assembly (where the spring is) to skip teeth once I got to here. Which meant I didn't need to totally disassemble it. A bit of playing and aligning and that fixed it. I guess its off a tooth. My spring is still in there.

MissileWaster posted:Nothing could dissuade me from getting my Soundwave No, the thing you have to be careful about is sticker placement. Make sure you get it on smooth, because they tend to catch on the moving parts during transformation and get all scratched up. I'm contemplatig getting another set from reprolabels.

If there's something I'm missing about that mission that will make it easier, please tell me. Keep your distance from Jazz and use your heavy projectile attack while constantly strafing him. When he fires his heavy attack at you jump backwards quickly to avoid them, if you find yourself low on health you can jump up on the cliff(he won't be able to follow you) and take out a few rocks for powerups. These rocks regenerate when you get far enough from them so it's like an infinite health supply. You can sometimes peg Jazz from the top of the cliff too by just rolling your heavy attack down at him while he's on the ground. Alternatively I heard you can run into the underground tunnels until Jazz gets stuck on something and he'll keep firing off his attack and damaging himself.

I haven't tried this myself, since I just did pretty much what was in your strategy. As I recall it took quite a bit of time to do, too. Though, I may have been a low level. I beat the game at 15.

If one of you guys doesn't send me one of those Seeker sets, so help me, I'll let Wreckage kill Jesus (the Action Figure). Don't think he won't do it...  But in all seriousness, god, I'd love to at least have the Seekers. I don't need the box or any of the fancy crap, just the jets would've been nice. But if anyone posts anymore Transfomers slash pics, Wreckage will disembowel Jesus (the Action Figure).
