Do you have the feet all the way extended out (there's a flap that folds out on the back to create a larger foot platform.) You probably do, but I thought I'd cover the basics.

I do not have any trouble with Megs standing. He usually does fine in a variety of poses. right now I have him, arm cannon up, legs spread one notch, knees bent one knotch (not all the way hyperextended) and twisted just slightly eagle toed. He sits on my computer monitor and I bump my desk regularly. He seems to be reasonably stable.

I can get him to stand up straight but I always have to raise his arms more than I want to in order counter balance his wings.

Remove his wings....thats what I did and he looks much better for it. I also painted over the purple on his legs and arms....I like purple but that was a little much.

I don't dismantle my figs and I kinda like the look of the wings actually.

Thats cool. I was on the fence about the wings. G1 Megs didn't have them, but I thought they looked kind of cool. I wasn't wild about the neon green inside though....and every time my friends came over and saw him they were like "WTF is up with him having wings"....my friend Rob actually started refering to him as "Fairy Megatron" Plus without the wings he's more posable and less "tippy"

I'll probably buy another at some point and keep him in his gun mode....

Well it makes me think that the idea that all the Cons ability of flight isn't so ridiculous, they all have wings.
