I didnt even notice that peg on my RTS G2 Prime until I read this article. Its good that the problem has been fixed. But the coolest poses to place the arms in were never really affected by the peg in the first place.
And yes I called him "G2 Prime" instead of "Laser Prime" because he carries a sword, not a laser.

So what do you call Energon Wing Saber, who doesn't carry a sword neither?

The RTS version is out? The only RTS figures I've seen are Tracks, Jazz, Mindset, and Fallback. With Jazz and Tracks only at Walgreens and Mindset and Fallback at Walgreens and K-Mart!

I was under the crazy assumption that improving figures was a good thing.

Yes along with Perceptor, Wreck-Gar, and the movie repaint of classics Bumblebee. Your best bet for finding them is Target. That's where they have been showing up the most.

Well Gundam, a lot of you in the mid-west and I'm sure on the east coast have got all of the newest TF's but in parts of the OC that wave has not reached that far yet. I've scoured at least a half dozen Targets in my area alone not to mention Walmarts and Rite-Aids and still nothin'....'nuff said!

Both of these posts are pointless and unnecessary. Don't find a reason for this thread? Then just avoid it.
There's many other people who may find this information handy.

Well the name "Wing Saber" might be making reference that his wings cut through the air like blades, thus giving meaning to his name. Energon Wing Saber transforms into a flying wing in vechicle mode.
This argument could also be made for the name "Air Razor" in reference to her falcon modes sharp claws which is a trait common on all birds of prey.
But I just cant seem to find "Laser Primes" laser or any similaraties that justify the name.

Southern Wisconsin is in the mid-west, and I've looked in every Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Toys R Us and Target between Madison and Milwaukee, south to Racine and Janesville...nada!
What's really sad is still finding leader class Animated figures at full retail price in some of the K-Marts.

The "Laser" has more to do with the lighting features of the original G2 toy, which debuted with the "Laser Rod" subgroup. Laser Rods had sword weapons, that could be illuminated with a LED plugged into the fist. See the connection now? True, the RtS toy doesn't have that, but should they make a new version of the Hero figure, which is the first new G2 Prime mold, then what?
And I've noticed the peg problem with mine from day one, but I'm not bothered at all. Still happy it's fixed, more reason for me to pick up the United version too.
