MP-04 Problem

[Devastator]

I recently picked up an MP-04 and I'm having problems with him. For some reason it's a real bitch to get his lower legs pushed up in order to transform him into truck mode. Now one of the legs refuses to move up and I can't get the other leg pushed back down again. Did anyone else have this problem with MP-04? And if so how do you fix it?

You are squeezing the chrome fuel tanks in on the side of each leg right? That frees up the leg extension lock mechanism.

[Devastator]

Yep. I've tried and tried again. You have to squeeze the gas tanks to extend the legs as well right? I dunno. Are the locks usually that tight the first time it's transformed?

[Tech Spec]

Squeezing those should work. Try squeezing again and wiggle the legs as you try to push them in. (I know how that sounds, but you get the idea)

Thanks for all your help guys. Got one leg working now. One more to go!

yeah, i also noticed that my 20th anniversary prime has that problem, though i think thats because he's been in robot mode for over a year on my shelf.

i havent transformed my mp4 prime, he's still in the box.
