>>6300731Keep in mind most of the red pieces in the arms (look at his right arm, since its at an angle and you can see the layers), are broken up and layered overtop of eachother.
Theres also two pieces of hood by the feet, on his sides near the gas tanks, and i believe another on his back unrelated from the rear wheel wells.
I personally have given thought to how a movie transformer would transform as a figure, and the best ive come up with is essentially very sturdy but thin and small spider or insect-like long jointed arms carrying individual plates and pieces that'd mean you'd have to place the farthest pieces (hands, feet) out and work pieces into position inwards, the result being a shitload of jointed pipes where the joints would be adequately thickening it up.
