Modified Plates

LEGO® modified plates are specialty plate variants. Modified plates are the heart of advanced LEGO building: they add clips, bar handles, jumper studs, tow ball sockets, pin holes, wheel holders and studs-on-the-side, which together make every SNOT (Studs Not On Top) technique possible. Without these parts, MOC builders would be stuck building only straight up.

Jumper plates are the half-stud offset workhorses of the LEGO toolkit. The classic 1x2 Jumper with single centred stud comes in two variants: with groove (3794b) and without groove (3794a), plus a newer 1x2 Jumper with Groove and Bottom Stud Holder (15573) for tighter connections. The 2x2 Jumper with Groove and 1 Stud in Centre (87580) handles half-offsetting in both directions. Clip plates are the second pillar: 1x1 plates with U Clip Thin Vertical Grip (4085b), Open O Clip Thick Vertical Grip (4085d), U Clip Horizontal Grip (6019) and Open O Clip Horizontal Grip (61252), plus 1x2 variants including Clip on Side Horizontal Grip (11476), Clip on End Horizontal (63868), Clip on End Vertical (78256), Clip with Centre Cut on Top (92280), Open O Clip on Top (44861), 2 U Clips (60470) and 2 Open O Clips Horizontal (60470b).

Bar-handle plates create grab points for minifigures or attachment points for bars: 1x2 Bar Handle with Free Ends (2540) and Closed Ends (48336), Bar Handle on End (60478), Bar Handles on Ends (18649) and Bar Handles Flat Ends Low Attachment (3839b). Bar arm plates extend reach: 1x2 with Bar Arm Up at horizontal 5mm (4623b) and 6mm (4623a). Tow ball plates are essential for vehicle articulation and minifig accessories: 1x2 with Tow Ball on End (22890), Small Tow Ball Socket on End (14418), combined Tow Ball and Socket on Ends (14419), Tow Ball Socket on Side (14704) and the flattened 1x4 Tow Ball Socket with Holes (98263). Pin-hole plates make plates Technic-compatible: 2x2 with single Pin Hole (2444), with double Pin Holes (2817), and the reinforced 2x4 with Pins and Thick Supports (40687). Wheel-holder plates form vehicle chassis: 1x4 Wheels Holder (2926), 2x2 Wheels Holder (4600) and 2x2 Wheels Holder Wide with Hole (6157). Studs-on-side plates open up SNOT directions: 1x4 with 2 Studs without Groove (92593) and 2x2x2/3 with Two Studs On Side and Two Raised (99206). Specialty plates include the 3 Teeth gripper (15208), 3 Claws / Rock Fingers (27261), Large Axe Head (27259), Door Rail (32028) and the Light Attachment with Thick Ring (4081b).
