Operation Superion
For when you absolutely have to get a grip on the situation
Howdy! This page is for all of those who are displeased with Energon Superion's hands, and arms. This builds on my previous post about combiner hands in general. With minimal effort, you to can help Superion get a grip.
Below is what you need for the arms in question. Part of Skyblast's laser cannon (yes, it does separate, but be careful), part of Signal Flare's (or Offshoot's) energon weapon, G1 Superion's hands, and gun.
Next you need to transform Superion's arms like so. None of Treadshot's lasers will go to waste. Just connect them to his tail wings.
Connect Skyblast's energon piece to Signal Flare's energon piece, then connect the peg of the pointed end of Signal Flare's energon piece to Treadshot's upper yellow hand. Now connect G1 Superion's right hand.
Here is a clearer view. Notice how solid it looks, and that you can now swing Superion's forearm clear of the rest of the jet. When posing Superion you will probably need to make sure Treadshot's bottom arm is placed under his top arm. This is only a minor nuisance. Also, notice those holes in part of Skyblast's blaster piece. Yep, there will be a use for those later.
This arm is much more appealing than the split open, peg fingered old arm. As before, you can place G1 Superion's left hand in Sky Shadow's flipped out peg hole underneath the cockpit. Of course, for more G1 nostalgia, you can connect G1 Superion's blaster.
Now behold the Super Saber! Just take Cruel Lock's, and Doomlock's swords, and plug them into Skyblast's blaster piece.
Here's a full picture. Regrettably, I don't have Superion's legs yet.
This is a bit more menacing pose.
You can connect Signal Flare's and Offshoot's blades to Skyshadow's wings for shoulder weapons. Also, you can connect Skyshadow's own gun in the hole behind his cockpit as seen in this and previous pictures.
Here's an angle shot with right forearm extending away from the rest of the Treadshot body.
Below is a standing full body shot. Both arms are relatively the same length.
Hopefully, this has been helpful to those who have the materials, and are wanting a better Superion.
