    Yeah, the turret just kind of flops around. You can KIND of support it on the top of the tank treads, but it looks HORRIBLE from the side with all kinds of empty space. I double checked the instructions and checked out every pic of the packaged version from Botcon last night, the tabbed-to-feet/gap-in-fuselage is the correct transformation, and oddly, despite my inital problem with it, just knowing that's the way it's supposed to be has made it less irksome in my mind :)

    Wait... The turret pegs in? I can only get it to sit on the treads... Looks and feels fine... (and I can't actually see where it would peg in...)

    You have to flip the feet out, there's a peg hole in the bottom. Flip the feet out, spin the turrets so the triggers are facing up, and peg the turret into the feet.

    He has no neck, so I'd say no. Mine's in the middle of doing the YMCA, so I can't provide photographs, but I can say that the only way to do that is to actually move the entire head assembly up until he's looking forward/up. Doesn't work too well at all.

    In my opinion, Animated Blitzwing is a pass due to lack of weapon usage in bot mode unless he's on sale or I don't have any other TF to buy. Although, on the other hand, he is one of my favorite characters from the show.

    You could do it, you'll just have to shave some plastic down.

    What would you consider a fair price? There are a few on ebay right now for $82 shipped. Outside of one going for a little less than that by bidding, that's the lowest price I've seen so far.
