If you're like me, you've bought RotF Superion and remembered what a huge piece of crap the Stormjet (Silverbolt in this instance) is.
You might have noticed that his knees in robot mode bend the wrong way entirely and that he doesn't quite transform properly.
That's because he is wonderfully and wrongly assembled every time someone goes about making a batch of this mold.
This fix is easy, you will need a small screwdriver, Phillips head preferably and some work space.
The problem:

Nope, that ain't right...
First step: Disassemble
Now, you're going to take the legs apart. Be sure to keep everything in order and leave those black hip joints (in yellow circles) in place. They have springs in them you don't want to lose and we'll get back to them later.

Second step: correct the lower leg parts
You will separate them like so

the piece pulls out of the leg via a pin you can simply slip out, like so

Third step: Swap knee joints

Forth step: Reassemble lower legs
Fifth step: Swap hips
You will need to use care when swapping the front part of the hip to the other side. It's easy, but it's a hassle if you let those little springs pop

Insert the lower leg portions in and close up the hip pieces. Did you do it right? Yours will look like this if you did:

You're done. Easy eh?
So what does this little fix get you?
