Just finish this simple mod a while ago... The KO makers got the KO TFC Heavy Labour's arms simplified wrongly, and causes it to be only displayable in either mode only, depending on the way you plug in the arms... There are quite a few ways some forum-ers in China have done, and I think mine is 1 of the simplest... First, need to cut off the truck panels into 2 parts (removing the arms from body will make it easier to work with)... The longer part of the cut panel is then hot-glued to the (lower) arm... Before gluing, I had to swap the (lower) arms to make sure when they are the correct arms after rotated...
Then I also remove the pegs on the central back-piece, since these pegs don't fit into the holes on the robot shoulders properly in the 1st place...
Done! Truck mode... The width of the arms is a little bit too long and causes the panel to protrude slightly out a little in truck mode... but still it is not as bad...
Bot mode! Now the arms looks decent, and the elbow joint is now working... but the (elbow joints) are a bit loose, but should be able to fix with the old superglue trick... Nice...
