On the Star Wars: Clone commander Cody turbo tank, there is another compartment that opens on one of the wheels in addition to the ones mentioned in the instructions. Has some silver detailing in it but I am not sure what it is supposed to be.

I can't believe I thought Cassettes were the way of the future.

Is +1 on Kups list.

My first post

And a funny story...

(Love this thread BTW...)

I was going to post something relatively simple - how I used to store the Dinobot's extra missiles in the "cockpit's" or whatever you'd call those "flaps" that hide compartments where (in another life) a pilot would go. (The same way you'd stow the landing gear in the chest of the G1 Decepticom planes.)

I think someone might have already mentioned that, but ANYWAY...

I thought I was missing two of my G1 Snarl's missiles. He been back out on my shelf now for like 6 months now after ~22 years in storage. I couldn't find the other two missiles anywhere. Well... guess where I finally decided to look after reading and thinking about this thread? :oops:

Yep. They's been in his "chest compartment" for the last 20 years, even as I've been looking for them this past six months! :lol:

Jetfire's gun was originally designed to fire projectiles.With a little patience,a small spring and a matching missile his gun can be modified.

What is it with you and the seeker jet wing holes?
I'm going to see that pic of Hound with landing gear on here someday...mark my words!!

Gotcha'! :wink:

I guess the secret is that the landing gear will fit into Hound's little gun hole. I suppose it'd make a good rollbar since its so high up from the seats. The driver would be okay but the passenger is outta' luck!

It wasn't until I put Hound on the top shelf of the refrigerator did I get a really nice shot of him.

And hey..........

Guess what?!

Soundwave can hold Perceptor's missile launcher and gun.

Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, and Buzzsaw (I assume Ratbat and Laserbeak too) can use Soundwave and Perceptor's weapons because they fit into their little top weapon holes.

Perceptor and Soundwave's guns fit into the seeker jet wing holes! Snarl's missile launcher gun fits in them as well. Tracks' gun has a side peg that will fit into the landing gear holes of all the seeker jets.

Hello I'm new here and I saw this topic and saw that the Megatron question wasn't answered yet and thought I'd try to help with that.

First- transform him in to his robot mode like you normally would

Second - take his gun barrel from underneath his right arm (the cannon arm) and flip it backwards as far as it will go

Third - while facing the back, take his cannon arm and take it so it goes up just enough to let the gun barrel through (you may need to move the gun barrel slightly to the right at the same time) and then move every thing back as far as it will go but do not use to much force

Fourth - enjoy

I hope that this helps
