Transformers ROTF Deluxe Deadend / Sideways hidden hinges mod

This may be old news to some, but many people don't realize this, as it's not listed in the instructions. So I'm posting it so it's easy to find, hoping that it will be beneficial to some fellow TF fans out there.
This isn't a modification, just info on these hinges which are kind of hidden.
Enjoy!
Let me know if this is new to you and you liked it.

Yeah this was always definitely the way to go! I love how much better it looks and improves the aesthetic functionality of it all. Btw did you ever get kind of an Insecticon Kickback vibe when you saw this guy? Bug-like visor, thin wings on shoulders, pointy, wingy doors, bug-like bent legs? It totally works! =D I found a locust mode for him too, and it looks awesome!

@camzilla51 I HAVE seen the insect feel, and I NOW SEE the Kickback resemblance... good catch. The insecticons haven't gotten the love they deserve... they could totally remake this guy into Kickback ala Alternators style homage.

i did this myself because i didn't follow the instructions (i memorized them form reviews)

[chris24jc]

@BioformerCorviz haha. I do the same exact thing. I like figuring them out like a puzzle. If I watch a review, I try to forget about it when I finally get my figure, but I do watch reviews to help me determine if I want to get it in the first place. :D

It's cool finding hidden features ironhide has holes in his hands does nethin go in them

[chris24jc]

@archrom1 I agree! Well, nothing that comes with Ironhide that I know of. Of course, the Recon Ironhide comes with some weapons that he can hold. Either way, I think it's the standard 5 Millimeter hole that MOST transformers weapons will fit, even dating back to the old targetmasters from G1. My friend has some of those, and he's got some of the newer Classics line holding them. : )

Knew that ever since i bought it

@archrom1 Really? I don't have HA Arcee, but I did recently get Legends Arcee, and I notice that she has what almost looks like a minicon peg hole. I would not be surprised if she combines with the other 2 cycles when they come out. Not sure how cool it will be, but I think it's neat that they're trying!

notice how human alliance arcee has a peg on her thatgoes to nothing
