When he reinserts the Matrix after the first two removals, he is instantly transformed back into Rodimus Prime. In three instances in Season 3, Rodimus removes the Matrix and instantly reverts back to Hot Rod.The Matrix activates during the Autobot's 'Darkest Hour™' and Hot Rod is upgraded into Rodimus Prime.Ultra Magnus is temporarily destroyed, and the Matrix is stolen by Galvatron, who wears it as bling.Ultra Magnus inserts the Matrix into his own chest, but receives no upgrade.Optimus Prime is heavily damaged, and in his last moments, gives the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus.It could be argued that the Matrix was partly responsible for the upgrade, but this is never stated one way or another. Alpha Trion rebuilds Orion Pax into Optimus Prime, presumably giving him the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.make sure it is far away from your shoulders that you can lift up your arms without any obstruction from the fender.Here is a compressed order of events in the Gen 1 continuity: *the pack doesnt have to be big (this is the first attempt). it cant hold alot of weight, but you could probably put your wallet, keys, phone… even slippers in there. *since the backpack is hollow, you may want to consider making a “door” for it, so that you can use it as a functional backpack. This completed fender backpack can now be attached by velcro to the back of your suit. Now you can make a “backpack and attach the fender to the backpack.Now you want to make a case that will attach to the the underside of the tube.this should give them a bit more stability (pic 5)

Prior to glueing, cover the wings in posterboard.

If i did it again, i would bondo the cones, because foam dents very easily. I also used the foam to make two cones on either side. i started sanded the section where the tube would connect to.

Now, i took the cardboard tube and put some sandpaper around it.From there, i took sandpaper and sanded off the edges (pic 2 + pic 3).From there, i wanted the fender to be thick, but not heavy, so i chose foam board.I sketched this out on some paper and laid it underneath the top portion of the suit for sizing. Replace pad into your shoe so that your foot is not directly on the screws. I used 3 screws for the front of the shoe and 4 for the back piece. Take your screws and drill inside the shoe directly into the wood. At this point, take out the pad inside the shoe. Due to the notion that the two pieces of wood are on either side of the cut in the shoe sole, your robot foot should naturally bend when you walk, (pic 6) 7. (pic 4) 5.Place your shoe on the two pieces so that the “cut” of the shoe sole is right in between the two pieces of wood. (pic 3) 4. Take 4 slender pieces of wood ( about 1 inch thick, and however long your two pieces are)and drill them underneath so that you are even more elevated. Now, get your 2x4 and use a saw (or get it cut) into the following 2 shapes. This is because when you walk, your shoe needs to “give” a bit so that it can bend while walking. The easiest way I found out is to bend your foot forward a bit with the shoe on, and that way you can see where the shoe naturally bends. Then, take your exacto knife and cut across the width of foot sole where the ball of your foot is. Cut further along the tongue of the shoe, because you need to be able to get a drill all the way to the toe part of the shoe. it is good to use low tops for these shoes. 1.Take your shoes and remove the laces (save laces for later).
