We'll start off with a new tidbit of info that was just shared on TFans.

I'll let his post do the talking, but basically, Movie Arcee's weapon attaches to her left arm (ala G1 Megatron/Galvatron) and she can keep her transformation solid, her posability at full, and her hand can be moved to look like the pegs on the underside of the gun are used as a handle.

Second:

2-Pack Animated Cybertron Mode battle damaged Megatron.

His chest pivots up and down. Push the chest up, push the head down and this locks up the vehicle mode and make it look almost as nice as the Voyager's. Pull the head up, push the chest down, for robot mode.

Third:

Push Animated Starscream's blasters forward on his arm, and panels will pop out on both sides. (Does it on both arms) So while his transformation is overly simplistic, he's full of neat odds and ends.

None of their instruction manuals list any of this. If you find something, feel free to add it and I'll edit this first post to reflect any new submissions. Come on, help out people! (even oldies but goodies work as well. Post 'em all!)

Fourth:
(courtesy of starfish)

Movie Barricade (all versions) have spikes on their feet that pop out.

Screen Battles Barricade has an all black Frenzy in his chest.

Fifth:
Trans-Scanning Prime should be transformaed in this order:

1-5, then 12-14, then 6-11 (the numbers refer to the steps on the instruction booklet).

I couldn't possibly add everything I've noticed to this - I think everything post RiD in my collection has something missing. I can't say if there's stuff missing in RiD UM or OP instructions - there's so many pages of it I never bothered to go through them!

Well, in the Movie line, there's the flippy toes on Barricade and the shin blades on leader Brawl. Screen Battle Barricade has a Black Frenzy fig in his chest.

Oh, and Trans-Scanning Prime's instructions are in a very bad order. This dude's a nightmare to convert if you go by the instructions, but he's a lot easier if you do the transformation steps in this order:

1-5, then 12-14, then 6-11 (the numbers refer to the steps on the instruction booklet).

If you go by the instructions, it's really very fiddly to line all the panels up right. But if you snap the rear of the truck into place ASAP, this holds the vehicle mode together, allowing to you put all the other parts into place.
