QC check aside, this is a fantastically engineered Toy. Although different, the leg transformation reminds me of the Prime Deluxe Vehicons that hid so much of the car in their thighs. Popped the Thumbs off the Prime Master Armor. I love it as a jetpack and it looks better without them TBH, although I d miss the weapon storage. Looking for a gun for CP now. Might use one of the Null Rays from the Legends class Acid Storm mold that came with Venin, if I can find one.
Toy of the year? I dunno yet, we’ll see what makes it out for Siege, but for my money he’s at least in the Running.
EDIT: I just gave Counterpunch the rifle from TR in Convoy, its the same mold as TR Astrotrain. Blue is wrong, but the shape looks sooo right.

Forgive me if you already knew this, but you can store the weapon he comes with on the bottom of the front of the car. You don't need the holes on the fist/jetpack to store the weapon.

I'm saying that this should be viewed as unacceptable by the community and by Hasbro, and it's galling that there's nothing we can do to really hold Hasbro accountable unless we want to give up on the figure entirely.
(Assuming it's as bad as reported; mine has for some reason not shipped yet, so I can't comment on that.)

obviously pop out the pin that holds on the windsheild chest. Then take off the legs and the second pin is hiding in the side of the balljoints.
Then its as simple as popping the crotch in half, then popping the torso in half, switch the shoulder joints around, and then do everything in reverse order. Took me about 5 minutes total.
You can also take this opportunity to put clear nail polish on the leg balljoints since they seem to be a little loose on this figure.
