If you are like me you have a Tidal Wave that is missing his arm parts.
This is a customization set for your Transformers Armada Tidal wave or Transformers Energon Tidal Wave. This replaces the shoulder connection of Tidal Wave to accept Combiner Wars figures. The original connection is too big to hold a combiner wars limb in place securely
This is sold as a set of 4 pieces connected together. You will need to cut separate them and cut off the excess plastic.
To install, unscrew the screws holding the shoulder joint port together. There are 2 screws for each shoulder) Pull apart the shoulder assembly. Everything will slide apart. Replace the original shoulder port parts. Test the sliding mechanism. If it does not slide smoothly, sand the print to make it move smoothly. Line everything back up and screw together.
Once installed, Tidal Wave will only be able to accept Combiner Wars Limb-bots for arms. Save the original parts if you decide to revert back to the original design.
This is intended for adult figure collectors. This is not designed for rough play by children.
This was printed and tested on my home 3D printer with SLA plastic. Depending on the plastic you choose, sanding or polish may be needed to fine tune the fit.
