Work-mode confusion
Work-mode confusion
I got Cybertron Metroplex yesterday, second hand but complete and cheap(only Kr. 30, batteries not included). It is not difficult to transform him, but I have one problem, his work-mode(the short one). I have tried looking for pictures of it, but that is what led to the whole confusion in the first place. The transformers wiki has it transformed the same way as TFU.info, but the gallery at Seibertron has it transformed a second way, and the back of the box has it a third way. I did not get the instructions when I bought it, so not help there( haven't checked the net for any scans though).
Could someone help me clear up this work-mode mess?

OK, just like the back of the box. Thanks Detective. Anyhow, a picture from the instructions would be nice as a last confirmation.
Funny, on Seibertron they have just twisted the lower body 180 degrees, and TFU/Wiki has twisted both his lower body 180 degrees and each of his lower legs 180 degrees so the minicon posts fave inwards what keeps him from standing properly.
I'm not sure that I'll direcktly ignore this third mode though, it might be good for storage. Also his normal robot mode is rather lanky. Maybe it can be used as a nasty surprise to the decepticons, going from work to robot mode I mean.
Another little question, how is he supposed to use his axe properly? He can't really swing it that much with the Handel so close to the axehead(not that that stopped G1 Venom).

You mean Frenzy_Rumble's Fortress Maximus kitbash? He does do awesome customs.Grufflock wrote:I actually much prefer the work mode version. I've always found the full robot mode to be far too lanky. Unless it's THAT Fortress Maximus kitbash. Then it's awesome.
