    IIRC MP-39 Sunstreaker will come with one.

    Ah, yes, you are correct. I forgot all about that one, and I'm really looking forward to Sunstreaker!

    I love mine, but I've noticed it's missing a pin in one of the shoulders, which connects the silver arm to the red wing.
    The arm just wiggles off :(

    Aww, that sucks. Have you contacted your retailer? Otherwise, maybe try messaging them on Facebook. That's what I'm going to do right now in regards to the paint problems on mine.

    Perhaps, but it's worth a try. Besides, I don't really have any other options. I guess I could ask the eBay seller after the fact, but he probably won't care.

    Yeah, he's definitely one shade too light when compared to the G1 toy. Can't really compare to the animation model though since it varies so much.

    You can consider fabricating a temporary pin using some thicker gauge wire. Not perfect but at least the arm stays on.

    If I have any complaints about this figure, it's the odd (and misplaced) silver paint on the sides in plane mode and the red flip out hooks that hold the backpack in place. Nothing seems to be pinned in on a lot of the flip out pieces (landing gear, included) and they either pop off or get stuck and it really annoys me when I want a smooth transformation (which happens every other).

    Aside from that, doggone this is a nice design. DX9 and Unique Toys should be the cream of the crop, top of the heap and then all others. I remember when UT was shaky during Predaking (Divebomb, in particular) and now they're like "I'm a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar!"

    ...well, you know, sans the shocking and fatal impalement.

    No QC issues whatsoever. Is there something wrong with my shoulder? I don't see it.
    The joints are tight, but not way too tight. Only thing I did not see first is that you have to pull the head up to make it turn.

    The wing is too far put from the body.

    I think he's referring to the angle of the photo

    I think it's just the angle. If anything, it might be rotated back a little bit too far but I doubt it. From certain angles, the gaps look bigger than from other angles.

    I checked it, and the wings are straight up from the front. The clip also goes in well on the backpack. I think it's just the photo.

    I think so too. Plus, it has those little tabs down the side of the wings and torso to make sure you have them in the right place, so you'd know if it wasn't properly in place.

    And actually, looking at mine right now, yeah, the gap looks large from that angle, but again, it's just because of the angle (plus depending on what camera/lens you use, that can also make the gap seem greater than it actually is).

    His bot mode sides completely untransform when you try to manipulate the arms at all, so he is a fail from an action figure perspective. The single wheel that comes down into the flight stand looks silly and it would have been fairly simple for them to have just given him small port for the stand. I find DX9 to generally be very sloppy in these ways.
