Occasionally during multiball, the ball launches hard enough to bounce up under MechaGodzilla's left arm and get stuck behind it. Anyone else have this issue?
Other than drilling into the plastic to stick a post there, anyone have a fix?

Yes; have done this several times. The repair was to properly position mechagodzilla. It was the angle at which a ramped ball was hitting off magnet in toy. Turn him to his right I believe was the fix.
Well, I actually got to see it happen this time during a normal ball launch. Sometimes the ball hits the metal guide rail just to the left of the switch and bounces up into his left arm. It has enough power to lift the arm going in, but not back down. I will try to move him to right some but the ball seems to jump off the ramp directly into the center of his magnet most of the time. So I don't want to mess that up. Its during the ball launch when I am having the issue. Note, I do have the shooter lane fix installed.

Hi guys, I'm experiencing the same issue with my Mechagodzilla. Fortunately, I happen to have some 1\2 clear rubber bumpers laying around. Did you place them directly underneath Mechagodzilla causing him to lift slightly and possibly misaligning the magnet with the shot or did you place the bumpers underneath his arm? Does anyone have a picture of how this looks?
Thanks in advance!

I put them under the body. Yes, it does lift him up slightly. I have never felt the different angle messed up his operation
They are easy to install, just as easy to remove if you do not like it

Thank you, I will give this a try!
