I was skeptical but you're kind of right. Unless I've misunderstood your post I think you've got it the wrong way around. The lower/inner thigh goes into the leg so the inner thigh is smooth (shut up, don't go there!) and straight. The wheels are no longer flush with the outside edge.
I didn't realise this until I read your post and I'm embarrassed to see it's in the instructions

Ah, I wasn't sure which was the right way because I didn't open the instructions packet. For 3rd party stuff, I've learnt to just leave the extra stuff sealed to help keep whatever resale value that might accumulate. I figured the wheel sitting flush would be better for robot mode since that would be what it would look like if it was some 2D art, but whatever works for people. There are some official pics that seem to forget about this as well, haha.

Yes, of course we're free to transform them however we wish but you'll find the wheels have to be flush for crane mode.
I discovered last night that Giant's instructions miss a lot of stuff. They don't explain how to combine the weapons, nor how to attach/remove the arms (I'm talking about the release buttons) and they don't mention the release buttons for the lower legs. Very poor. I'm concerned that people who don't watch reviews and read forums will break theirs. Please don't explain to me how to do these things - I already know!

4 and almost 6 year old boys, seeing about 10 feet of awesome TF's displayed above all of they're toys, I guess was too much for them to bear. I can't really blame them, and takin ght ocassional one or two down is OK, but they took down just about everything, and CC Magnus was in the front yard
If I had kids this incident would not happen twice!
lol, this incident happens everyday at my home…except my daughter is respectful of my collection, and nothing comes up missing…otherwise she gets grounded from them..she even knows which figures she can and can not play with (masterpieces are the only no no).

This is ironic, I just found out that Leobreaker can connect to Tidal Wave last night. I tried to connect Tidal Wave's arms to Optimus but they don't fit very well. You can get them in there but they'll pop right out.

No, but I assume it's either amazing or downright fear inducing...
