Pretty cool figure, picked it up on sale through ShowZ and then chopped the price down with some points. Knowing he's a remold of Deathsaurus I didn't know he's was actually slightly taller than him.

Ok, wait, I'm looking at the other photos in this thread and it seems like others might have the same configuration as me, but are able to get theirs into tank mode. For reference, here's the exact problem I'm having:

The bottom pieces of the feet are mismatched with the wings, so you can't tab the two together in tank mode. But others, such as @lordcryotek above have – I'm guessing the feet should have asymmetric tabs (i.e., on the inside or outside, but not both)? I'm worried that I'm missing something obvious in the transformation, but don't think I am…

Mine had a similar assembly mistake of the right leg inside panel. I just shaved the problem panel down until it transformed correctly.

Has anyone encountered or heard of a manufacturing defect where the bottom pieces of the feet are on the wrong sides? I just realized my copy has the feet with the side pegs on the left, which prevents the wings from properly tabbing in tank mode. Any way to fix this myself before I contact my retailer?

After seeing this from terra810 on Twitter https://twitter.com/terra810/status/1741487766469542048, I am on board the BW II Galvatron train. I can't imagine MMC will ever do it, though.

Cool cool, ty. One arm doesn't like to stay tabbed either, not a big deal but a little frustrating.

They pretty much always do that. I fixed the screws in place on mine with a dab of superglue on the threads.

Anyone have issues with the top wing joints? Articulating the joint seems to be forcing the screw out.

What kind of a question is that? Of course he does, he's Pr Nimbus. He controls the police.

Does he control the police?

That's a shame, I could almost see a really insane Grimlock using this mold. That being said, I can understand not doing it since there's about a billion 3P Grimmies.

I thicken areas around the screw with clear nail polish. The joints will be tighten a bit. Better than doing nothing I guess.

So regarding the screws coming loose on the wings, are there any permanent fixes that doesn't involve supergluing the screw? The more I look at it the more I want it but this is really the only thing that kept me from getting it.

So 3 more characters will be made? Optimus, Arcee and Zero?
