Steeljaw is actually really awesome if you pose him with his legs like a wolf's legs. You absolutely do NOT need to use his tail for support like so many people keep saying in video reviews. Listening to chuckdawg's review right now and it sounds like he missed how to pose Steeljaw properly as well. Bummer! Can't wait to share pics of him posed properly in my gallery later tonight or tomorrow.
And he most definitely has elbow joints, Chuck!

Here are 3 images of Steeljaw properly transformed and standing with legs like a wolf and his tail in an upright position.

Glad to see Chuckdawg and some of the other early reviewers got it wrong with Steeljaw. He's the one figure from the line-up that I'm actually looking forward to, for obvious reasons. All the naysaying was apparently unfounded!

I even went back and took the recommendation of a viewer and tried bending the arm while pulling, the thin gray plastic making up the bicep was bending in a way that caused me concern it was going to break.

One of the elbows on mine is the same way. The other moves fine. Grimlock's were also very tight, but once moving them a few times, they were ok. Some weird tolerances on some of the joints now that they're trying like hell to not use pins.

The left elbow on mine is the more challenging one to move, but it will with some light pressure.

I just forced it to move ... I figured if it broke, I'd just return it to the store once I can get another one.

When it comes to any of the big box chains (Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Kmart, Meijer, etc), of course they'd take it back or provide you with a replacement! Make sure when you return a broken product that you put a sticky note on the inside of the package that specifies what the problem is with the toy and make sure that the person working at the customer service desk is aware that there is a problem with the toy (and point out the note on the inside of the package) so that the toy doesn't somehow end up back on the shelves. I assume that the store should be able to get a credit for a faulty product from Hasbro or however that process works.

Yep. In my retail days you should have seen the stuff we took back, no questions asked. Got a receipt for the item? Is it within the stated return policy time frame? Done and done. Had a guy that would check over all the opened returns, and either mail em back to the vendor or mark them down for resale.

Wolfman Jake wrote:Maybe Steeljaw has renounced the Decepticons, but isn't necessarily joining the Autobots. I could see them using the "Lone Wolf" trope with him. He just wants both sides to leave him alone to do his own thing. Maybe he would be helpful to Bumblebee's Autobots on occassion, but isn't really comfortable being a team player, a la Wheeljack earlier on in the Prime series (which is silly for an actual wolf, the "lone wolf" legend isn't really based in realistic wolf behavior at all, just superstition and misunderstanding). Maybe in time he'll learn that "Friendship is Magic" (TM) and warm up to the Autobot cause. Who knows? Should be interesting to finally see what Steeljaw is like on the show. Too bad the toys have NO biographies on the back of the packaging.
