More drilling and then assembly in the ultimate step of the ultimate Ravage tail mod guide!

Step 6, Unbob the tail

So today’s the conclusion to the Ravage tail fix, so naturally we’re going to work on actually assembling it.

Where it gets tricky is getting the tail to attach to Ravage, and getting the tip to attach so the tail doesn’t fall apart.

Step 2, Unscrew Rear

Barring Sunstreaker (or because of him, rather), how many of my toys have asked Ratchet about that command line?

Alright, alright. So first, we’re going to remove the tail itself. To do this, we can’t just yank it out because a pin is holding it in there pretty tight. We’ll have to rearrange some parts to get the screws, but-

And by articulated tail, I mean fully articulated.

And by fully articulated, I mean 18 points of articulation in the tail (19 if you count gray barb on the tip).
