ROTF Jetfire mod

I got sick of how jetfires legs prevent prime's leg articulation, so i went ahead and separated jetfires legs from his body

the way jetfire is made, he has a front torso, that his arms and prime's upper body attach to, and a back torso, that hangs down and primes legs connect to

those are held by one peice of plastic [well two, technically], and the wires that run thru it, so i removed it

however, i did cut thru the wires, so no more light up eyes, and i always remove the damn batteries, so no more 'jetfires me name'

this way prime can stand on his legs w/o jetfires feet, and jetfire's robot and jet mode are still the same
his robot mode everything fits together with pegs, and same for his alt mode

however, primes ankle joints are slightly loose, and they need to be tightened, right now he can only stand with jetfires gun to counterbalance the jetkibble, due to the way i position it all over his back
i will also give prime a larger heel so he can stand better, but i believe its the ankle that causes him to topple over more than the lack of a heel

if anyones interested on how i did this, i can post a tutorial later tonight.

and the last picture is just me being crazy, i put the half of jetfire that doesnt combine over primes shoulders, making him even more top heavy, but still balancing with the gun in his hand

At least you have the gun right in my opinion.

I just like the modded legs you found

modded leg transformation works out, but he still cant bend his legs, so i might get a 2nd jetfire and then just take the feet for prime after i tighten the ankles and give him a heel

his ankles are too weak to support any pose w/o jetfires kibble to hold him up, such as with the alternate leg config
tightened up his ankles, but still no go, official leg transformation will have to do until buster prime hits
