Eric, Mark: yes I knew about Diaclone for most of the Autobots (and Microman,
I believe it was called, for the majority of the 1st wave of Decepticons).
That's actually partly the reason for why I insisted that minifigs fit into
all my Transformers (and also the reason I probabaly won't be doing a
transforming Walther P-38 pistol or Walkman any time soon, if ever). But yes,
I was referring to the same space being used for fists in the North America
reslease of Optimus.

as the direction of the studs, as opposed to perpendicularly.

I will definitely try the techniques you, Mladen and Mark discussed at some
point. Thanks for all the advice, people.
