In case anyone is wondering, here are the specific instructions for realigning Blackout's automorph:
In helicopter mode:
1. Remove blade assembly. It's much easier to work with.
2. Rotate starboard wing (arm) up to access screws.
3. Completely loosen screws.
4. My gears on the starboard (screw) side were positioned too low. I had to pull the head/cockpit piece forward, and then replace a little higher up on that side only.
5. Replace screws.
6. Rotate startboard (screw-side) wing back down and clip in place.
7. Hold legs tight against underside of helicopter. Legs should peg into the holes, winges should be tabbed in hear front of wing assembly.
At this point, if your cockpit still isn't completely aligned, lather, rinse, repeat. Again, my cockpit was a little too low on the screw side. Your may be too low on the other side. If this is the case, you'll need to adjust accordingly.
Don't expect the automorph to work in reverse. I still need to push it along when converting back to helicopter and it does click.
When converting to robot, folding in the blade assembly causes the head to rotate halfway. Clipping in the legs (which still takes a bit of elbow grease) rotates it the rest of the way.
Hope this is helpful!
