Minor Restoration - KO Alternators Silverstreak

KO Alternators Silverstreak... A good piece of KO with most joints reasonably tight enough... well.. except for a few, which I tightened up most of them, with superglue... However, the heels are not (tight) enough to support this heavy bot, as although this is a KO, the diecast parts are still there... And some panels are not matching, a bit misaligned... but overall, a very very very SOLID piece of KO! (Off topic: Why can't Hasbro have this type silver paint on DOTM Sideswipe and HA Soundwave, sigh....)



...doors, boot, bonnet can be opened like the authentic version... Can't figure a way to hold the engine/gun piece firmly, but heck, ...


...superglued some polystyrene pieces (circled in red dots) at the back of the feet to stop the heel pieces from flipping upwards, which will help prevent the robot from falling backwards... works quite well...


... Robot mode... stands quite well...but frankly, quite limited leg articulation, due to the design...





Next missions: (1) Restore KO Fastlane & improvise (2) Rebuild KO Cloudraker from another KO Fastlane...
