CW Stunticon undocumented feature

Forgive me if this has been pointed out already, but I haven't seen it anywhere.

I like the CW Stunticons, but it kinda bugged me how goofy their big hands/feet looked just plugged into the top or side of their vehicle modes. Then I saw someone in a Facebook group point something out with Breakdown that caused me to look at the others more carefully.

Breakdown's big purple piece can be mounted more or less flush with his vehicle mode.

He has a little hole just under the spoiler



And a corresponding tab on the thumb of his big hand.



Plug that tab into the hole and you get this:



Offroad has a tab on his truck bed:



That lines up with a gap between the middle fingers of his big hand:



Plug them together and you get this:



Dragstrip is a little less elegant. His hand obviously plugs onto the post on the top of his car mode, but if you angle it like so:



The base of the thumb nestles nicely into this spot on the spoiler:



And the whole thing rests nicely against the top of the car mode:



I haven't found anything like this for Dead End though, His just seems to plug into the top of his car mode and sticks up there awkwardly.

Re: CW Stunticon undocumented feature

That's awesome, I -just- noticed the same setup on drag strip a couple days ago. Still a bit goofy but much more streamlined!

Re: CW Stunticon undocumented feature

I wondered what the tab on OffRoad was the first time I saw pics of him, figured it out the first night I had him in hand... it's a bit clunky, but hey at least it's somewhere to store his hand/foot/gun that isn't plugging it into the side of his vehicle mode!

Re: CW Stunticon undocumented feature

These have all been documented before, but that's not to say this post isn't very well put together.

Re: CW Stunticon undocumented feature

I had no idea these had been previously found, other than what I mentioned about Breakdown.

It's too bad there doesn't seem to be something similar with Dead End.
