No. But I added a video and there isn't really even a chance of stressing or breaking something.

1. Please sticky this.
2. Do I cancel my still pending Amazon order and wait for the "corrected" Takara version?

The part that he seems to think causes an issue is that there's two conflicting bits that seem to be spaced too closely, but in fact there's a little more clearance in shoulder you can compress into. I just transformed my figure into car mode just fine.

Awww sh*t fire!!! Assembly issue or not there's no excuse...you hear this ???
But I guess we're past due on having some crap like this happen since the huge problems Trypticon had.
there's too much damn money involved for us to have to deal with this...'nuff said!

In short, for me, the fix was necessary for the figure. Like Counterpunch's demonstration said, it is easy enough to do and I only just barely felt like I was stressing any of the parts.

It’s not required. you don’t have to do it and go ahead and demand a replacement for a figure that’s out of stock and is being reported as all of them are like this.
