So, Sideswipe. Seriously beautiful figure. One question: How do you get him to stand up? The wheels stick out under his actual feet! Am transforming him wrong or is he supposed to be the hardest to stand up character ever?

Ambiguous subject line is ambiguous! But some people want zero spoilers right down to character names, so if that's you, back out now.

The best thing I've been able to do is make sure the silver "toes"...I think are the care headlights, are pushed down as far as they can be, and
then some careful balancing is the best thing you can do, it works for the most part, but don't bump him or what he's standing on afterwords, lol. He
tends to fall over, Sideways is the same way =P

Just thought I'd ask...Have you gotten Depthcharge yet? It looks like he's only in Scout size...

I totally snagged up Depthcharge. My Autobot Navy now consists of one dude.

In any case, we now have a stealth...is he a cruiser or a corvette? Now if only Hasbro and/or Takara would cook up a hydrofoil transformer. I somehow keep
imagining that as the Earth alt-mode of in-my-head-only Animated Chromia. The foils become arm blades. (Yes, she's an Autobot. The Animated Decepticon
sea-goer I imagined is a submarine named Undertow.)

My solution for getting Sideswipe to stand up is leaving those pentagon-shaped flaps behind the front wheels/feet unfolded. When they're left extended,
they add a bit more support to his standing posture. Hope that helps.

He takes very careful balancing to stand up, in my experience. He does, however, balance well once I get it right.
I sometimes also lean him on his swords. |

I just lean him up against my bulletin board, it's easier that way XP
Sarcasm is intellect on the offensive, wit
is cultured insolence.
I enjoy both. |

My cousin has that one. He doesn't seem to have too much of a problem getting him to stand up. But then, I usually only see the little dude when he's
standing on my cousin's desk. But, yeah, he never seemed horribly unstable or anything.
I guess I never paid too much attention to him. Wheels for feet can't possibly be steady. XD |
