Need help dealing with rusty screws.

So, I got my hands on a spare Ultra Magnus trailer for my homemade Powered Convoy custom. But I've hit a snag during the dismantling process. Two of the screws in one of his elbow joints are badly rusted and completely refuse to turn. I've scrubbed a bunch of a rust off the top of them with Coke, but I can't seem to get any more of it off and they still won't budge. Does anyone have any advice on loosening them up?

WD-40, worst case scenario, drill them out.

Sorry for the late reply and hopefully you have already fixed the issue, but just in case I thought I would mention this.
One time I had an issue with some rusty screws and I used peroxide, and it took the rust right off. Grated I didn't have to remove them but it might work. Peroxide is at least cheap enough to try out.

Peroxide huh? Going to have to remember to try that some time!
