I have tons of scars and cuts on my hands and fingers already. The side of my left middle finger near the tip is numb because of a particularly bad cut.

Chicks dig scars, though.

This time, I cut my thumb so badly it bled through the band aid, which gave Rampage some interesting bloody details.

Knight of Zero, thanks! As for stability in alt mode, it should be the same as the treads hold things together nice and tight.

As Gobot Grimlock said, the legs are pretty easy to do. I’d say they’re even easier than the arms, as they don’t involve as much cutting.

So, the comments stay. It’d just look awkward if someone only read part of them and came back to see them deleted.

Malunis, that piece is supposed to rest snugly in place, but it only sort of does. I’ll add take a picture and post it in a day or two, but if you fiddle around with it you should be able to find a position that is parallel to the ground and has two notches in it for the black tips of his front feet to rest. If that description is a little vague, it’s because it’s been a week or so since he was in alt mode. It is there, though, and rests there well enough to shake him around without it coming loose. Still not tight, and it comes loose if you move the blade, but the notches would indicate it’s the correct position.

Thanks, Monty, Bosch, and Malunis. :D Always glad to help people be less frustrated with tfs, and it’s even better to know you had fun along the way. :)

KOZ you should mod the legs too!!! It takes less work than the elbow mod.

And the elbow mod doesnt hurt bulldozer mode and the tracks are still solid, just unbend the arms and wrap the tracks around.

But also mod the legs. Its easy.

Way to go Matt for an easy to follow modding of Rampage!!

From where I’m from, there are toy shelves full of these things, since people easily snap up Bumblebee or Sideswipe, but neglect this awesome Constructicon, now made more badass thanks to you. ^_^

As for me, I just bought a Rampage and will only try to mod his elbows, as i have so little free time nowadays. A short question before I proceed though.

Will the new elbows still give the caterpillar track parts stability when I return him to bulldozer mode? I dont want the elbows to bend or deform the caterpillar tracks while he’s in his alt mode, when i wrap his “whips” around the caterpillar assembly again.

Thanks again.
