Ok, I'm sure this may have been covered before, so hopefully someone can answer this. I'm having problems keeping Blackout together in alt mode. I noticed his legs don't like to stay up. When I push them up, then his front end pops out of place. If I put his front end back in position, then his sides pop out a little. It's like a vicious circle of his parts not staying in place. What the hell is wrong with this figure? :MAD:

His legs and tail support each other so he could stand up.

Ummm...him standing in robot mode has nothing to do with what I asked.

You should've used the search feature, this topic's been done so many times...it should've been stickied, but anyway. :-P

I don't own the figure, but based on what I've read, I believe it's a problem with the automorph being out of alignment. I think the solution is you have to take the assembly apart and realign the gears. There is a thread around here somewhere which details how to do it, I just don't know exactly where it is.

Exactly, i was looking for this thread so i could post it for him. I did the same to my Blackout, he works pretty fine now.

Well, I tried, but when I go to the search page and put in blackout as my keyword, all I get is "No topics or posts met your search criteria."

Found that thread where it shows how to open him up and fix the misaligned gears. It was about 8 pages back.

That thread should definitely be sticked for a little while. Such a simple fix for a really annoying problem.
