I didn't realise you'd put in so much endoskeleton Brad - it's looking very Terminator-esque! I've come up with an idea for the fist problem, although I'm not quite sure it'll work. The obvious problem we have is that the fists won't fit inside the arms and can't be swapped within the arms.So the thought that occurs is - could the fists be stored on board MainBody somewhere else? Say, in the lower chest? A hatch would open and a connection strut would extend out. Dai-X's wrist would then connect with that strut, lock on, and pull the fist component out of the storage area. Very complicated to do, I'm sure, but given the flexibility of his arms I imagine he could get his wrists into the right place? I mean, at the end of the day, we don't have to see it happen all the way... I was thinking that the hands needn't be fists when stored if that would save space. They could be uncurled? I know, easier said than done! But if you cut away after the retrieval you could swap them for the fist modes without showing them clenching.Did any of that make sense?! I'll try and do a sketch if not!
