Afraid not Raymond101.
It's a problem many movie toys will face, especially in later years. Unlike many joints which have a work around to re-tighten, or at least stabilise them, the automorph does not.
Since it is gear teeth based, once a figure gets "loose" it will stay that way, unless of course you take the entire automorph apart and apply clear nail polish or something similar to every gear tooth, without over doing it, so that the teeth can still turn.
My Ironhide has fairly good automorphed ankles, but I dont see them staying good forever.
Worst comes to worst, leave Ironhide in alt mode...
