Super glue that byatch!

Thats the thing, it's tight I wouldn't know where to.

 

Again, nothing I can't dismiss, so in this case, I save my superglue for future ball joints.

Heres a good one though, the upper arm slide swivels on my SunStreaker and Side Swipe have a tendancey of leting the arm slip out when being moved.

It holds possition tight, but theres nothing to prevent the arm from slipping out of place as it does in handeling.

I've seen this joint before on other toys, and the edge of the slide had a nudge to keep the circle snapped in place. These do not.

Any idea on how to fix that?

loose joints i don't mind much, i've gotten quite a few with loose joints and they're easy fixes, but jesus fucking christ on a stick does the QC on the new UNI screamer suck! the first one i bought was missing the pin holding his left food in place, i returned him for one without a fucking hand. returned that one for one who's tailfin was broke right out of the package, then returned that one with VERY loose joints. they definitely need to fix the bloody mold.

 

that's the first really bad qc issue i've ever had, other than prowl's paint -_-

My Streaker had the same problem. What I did was this: I had a junker Brawlestator lying around. I shaved some plastic off of his leg and I glued it on to the small nub in that socket. After it dried I tried pushing the arm back on. When it didn't go without overly excessive force, I shaved down the shaving some and tried again until I got a tight fit that wouldn't stress the plastic.

Sideswipe needed some work. His leg wasn't tightened enough, so I tightened it. But his head/roof assembly was way out of alignment. As in the roof wouldn't turn all the way around. So, I opened him up and found the "sweet spot", and now he's just as :awsum as his bro! :tflaugh

^ You mean :fail?

No, I mean :awsum AKA :win ! Ironhide's "safety fixes" by Hasbro, on the other hand, are :epic :fail

I had the EXACT same problem with Sunstreaker. He was off by about one, maybe 2 teeth notches in the internal mechanism.

 

Used the exact same fix too. :tflaugh

 

 

Now if my G1 Magnus's smokestack would magically re-attach itself without glue..... :tfsad

No, I mean :awsum AKA :win !

 

 

I'm sorry, but what you're saying... I just can't comprehend it. My mind isn't that malleable.

Not my fault you have a great dislike for the mold... :tfevil
