Instructions
: Ok here’s and easy and quick way to fix your Masterpiece
Starscream/Skywarp because lets face it these two just look
fucking stupid with two pieces of F15 Jet just hanging off there
hip area. You will need the following tools to complete this
task – Stanley Knife / Sand Paper / Screw Driver / Metallic Glue
or VERY strong super glue / hand saw.
Here are the
first few steps that will be explained in the instructions here
AND in the pictures labeled below. Picture one shows
currently how Starscream and Skywarp look……pretty dumb with two
Jet pieces hanging off there sides. The currently look of the
toy is just stupid I mean seriously what the fuck were Hasbro
and Takara thinking when they did this considering the mould for
this toy had ALREADY been done as shown in the completed
pictures below.
Picture
four shows the tools you will need (I forgot to take a
picture of the sand paper but I used a FINE quality sand paper
for this) I used a small hand saw and for the glue I used
GamesWorkshop modeling glue which usually hardens within about
10 Minutes or so.
Picture
Five shows what we first need to do, remove the two jet
pieces from the figures hips and place them side by side. As
shown in picture seven take one of the jet pieces and
pick up your Stanley knife as shown in picture eight and
begin to cut away the access bulk area which is shown in picture
nine. Picture Ten shows how both the jet pieces
should look together once you have removed the extra plastic
areas on the back ends.
The next part
of this requires a little more steady hands. Picture Eleven
shows originally were the HOLE is that currently attaches to
Starscream/Skywarp's legs when in Jet mode. Below that there is
a SCREW which you need to remove, so grab your screw driver and
remove the screw as shown.
Picture
Twelve shows the two jet pieces on there fronts, the line
shows were to begin sawing off the parts and pictures
Thirteen and fourteen show how both side jet pieces should
look once you have cut them both off. Once this is done get your
sand paper and slowly sand off the access pieces of plastic left
remaining so the pieces should be smooth and not rough.
Picture
Sixteen shows the lumps on Starscream/Skywarp's side which
now just look like left over tumors which need to be removed.
Again grab your saw and push the body section upwards and try
and move the legs far away from were your trying to cut (you can
unscrew the legs but I found you can do the cutting without
removal of the legs) I found it easier if you make it as if the
figure is kicking side ways so you get a decent amount of room
to cut the lumps off. Once removed the waist should look as
shown in picture seventeen.
Almost
finished now, look at the hands of the figure and look at the
small piece of plastic on the arm area because again this needs
removing in order for the figure to transform ok. Get you saw
and cut off the part shown in picture eighteen. One done
it will look like what’s in picture nineteen.
Now going back
to those two pieces of jet you cut off from the original jet
pieces. Take those and get your Glue and stick them onto the
area shown in picture twenty one and twenty two.
Once you have done this with both parts you should have what is
shown in picture twenty three. Leave this to dry for at
least 30 minutes or more.
Now get the
two pieces of Jet you have left and with the HOLE you made from
the SCREW you removed place THAT into the PEG on
Starscream/Skywarp's LEG area. Basically your attaching the jet
piece with the NEW hole YOU made by removing the screw. You will
find that with the access piece of jet you removed from the
start and with the new hold made in the jet piece that the parts
will now slot in together perfectly and hold together perfectly
because BOTH the holes are the same size as each other. Your
Masterpiece figure can now stand up perfectly with both the jet
pieces in place like how they were originally meant to be.
Picture
Twenty Five shows how the final look of the figure in robot
mode should look and how easily it is for the figure to stand
normally. For some reason a lot of people who tried to mod this
figure chose to fuck up Starscream/Skywarp's leg area and screw
in a massive screw into the actual leg area and snap off the
insides of his jet pieces (the part INSIDE the black area of the
legs) which is not needed and shown here.
Picture
twenty Six to Thirty show the figure can transform
perfectly well and easily now you have removed those extra
pieces that were explained above. Once the glue has dried you
can transform the figure just as easily as you did before. When
it comes to the to two jet pieces you WILL need to take them OFF
the HOLE that YOU made and attach them to the ORIGINAL hole that
was there before you did anything. All the parts will hold
together perfectly and you should have Masterpiece
Starscream/Skywarp as they way they were meant to be now.
