Mod: KO Oversized CW Rodimus Back Wings

One of my reasons to buy this KO is to try to mod it to resemble the G1 version of Hot Rod... Like a reviewer once said: "The world needs more Galvatron"... My (TF-)world (display cabinets) also need more Hot Rods... hahahaha... the most distinct feature for this KO mold shoud be the back "wings" that G1 Hot Rod has, and the easiest way to do this will be using (1) blu-tack (nope, not acceptable) or (2) make 2 holes for the corresponding pegs in the "wings" pack to peg into... But again, like the reviewer likes to mention in his reviews (I know he is mimicking the comments or something like that): " ~What??!! Parts forming ??!! Worst toy ever!!~ ", I want to make this transformation to be non-parts-forming... Started off by cutting the wings off the "main staff"...


The "wings" will be made to swivel 180 degrees, so the middle of the "main staff" is replaced by little pipe...


... testing...


The pipe/tube is super-glued to the "main staff" and the gaps filled with UV glue...


"Wings" are then glued to to a little round peg that is inserted into the pipe... again used UV glue to cover the surfaces of the joints...


... testing the swivelling feature... works! But realised the swivel point may be too off-centred...


And yes, a little round peg is also attached to the other end of the "wings" to reinforce it...


Small little peg is cut and glued on the body side. It will protrude out the barrel a little for better securing, and also looked like the front aiming piece... yeap, barrel will need to drill a small hole...


Done!!! Car mode is still decent... the 2 orange parts are quite different from the "wings" colour but not too bad...


Side view of the car mode....


And now Rodimus/Hot Rod has the back "wings" !!!! No parts-forming!!!! Yeah!!!


Here's a close-up look...


... and back of the robot mode...

Next to mod for this KO will probably be the addition of pipes and chest flame deco...
