Quality control issues on 25th Anniversary combiners?

I was recently given a 25th Anniversary/Universe Superion as a gift; and it wasn't until I transformed the individual robots that I realised that something wasn't right. That's when I noticed that my Airraid (The black jet) has two left arms ! Has anyone else had any issues with quality control on their Universe Superion or maybe even the Bruticus Maximus set? Or maybe another figure altogether? If so, what was the problem???

Darkness is all I see.

This happens on many tf's, not just those specific ones.

Might I also add, it happens to Hasbro AND TakaraTomy produced stuff. Nobody is immune.

I have that same damn problem! What is it with Hasbro and the occasional suck-@$$ combiner, anyway?

I also think that the Combaticons turned out perfectly. And I'm glad to see a fellow Aussie replying to my thread!

Although I despise their combined form, I'm okay with the individual robots. I've even come up with my own combiner: Brutallion(Pronounced Broo-tah-lee-on) Maximus! It uses Onslaught as the main body, Vortex as the left arm, Airazor(Or Slingshot as I call him, because it looks like the G1 Aerialbot. Beside which, Airazor is a female Maximal!) as the right arm, Fireflight(I just call him by the mold's original name, Terradive. I find it easier to remember, personally.) as the Right leg, and Brawl(I call him Swindle due to the fact that Hasbro got some of the characters wrong!) as the left leg.
