Hello there! No doubt that some of you Transformer collectors have wondered just what the insides of one of your Transformers looks like. That or you just want to know what you lost inside a TF when you used something to activate the tech specs from an old Headmaster when you lost the Nebulan. But you've never dared unscrew one of those toys in fear that it would lower the value in some way or another. Well that's why I'm here. I'm stupid enough to take apart my TFs just for the sole purpose of entertaining you (and trying to get some hits for my page). So, take a look at what Ratchet and Hook had to see while repairing their
comrades. I advise people that they do not disassemble their Transformers; especially more complicated ones. They may break, or you might not be able to put them back together; not to mention lost pieces. Besides, they get angry if you take them apart.

Drag Strip - Front - Back -
Poor guy. He was in a bin, disassembled for four months before I finally scanned him in.
Removable parts: 11 Number of screws: 7 (1 in front, 3 in legs, 3 in back)

Brawn (entire removable face version) - Front - Back -
Is he dead, or is he alive? No matter what you think, here's what he looks like dead.
Removable parts: 9 Number of screws: 1 (located in spare tire)

Rad - Front - Back -
The only Action Master to have a speaking part in cartoon form. Sure, he only said, "Count me in!" but hey, that was enough to make me buy him.
Removable parts: 13 Number of screws: 5 (1 in back, 2 in legs, 2 in hips)

Note: There's 13 parts because the rubber band and hook are counted as parts. The hips also separate, but I forgot about them ^_^ ;;

Tailgate - Front - Back -
This minibot had a lot more pieces than I expected, so he took a little more time to take apart.
Removable parts: 12 Number of screws: 4 (2 in torso, 2 in the legs)

Seaspray  - Front - Back -
Yes, another minibot. He was the first to fall victim to the screwdrivers o' doom, paving the way for this page.
Removable parts: 12 Number of screws: 4 (2 in back, 2 in feet)

Spark Crystals (BW, BM) - Front - Back -
So, Megatron wanted sparks? Well, I've got 'em. Here they are. From Left to Right: Maximal (BW, TM2 Cheetor), Predacon (TM2 Scarem), Maximal (BM, Longhorn), Vehicon (Jetstorm), Dinobot (Airraptor)

If you do decide to remove sparks, take them from a toy with few parts, such as Longhorn. Also, you'll notice that they have silver and gold backings. The Beast Machine sparks have both gold and silver, but I don't know about Beast Wars; their sparks may just be gold.
