    How has it been"proven wrong" that the shoulders aren't flat-side-up in the CGI render and instructions?

    Here is the render from the instructions - Punch/Counterpunch - Shoulder Fix Flat side up. If you look closely at the render of the figure on the package, you'll see its the same way.

    You realize that this is a case of the >hand drawn< artwork being based on a completely different figure (the Jazz / Wheelie Generations mold - look at the chest), which is why the tires are different, right? For P/CP instructions and box art, they are renders from the CAD files used to design the actual toy.

    Still dose not counter the build in arms locking at a 90 say your right all you want the proof is the design it was assembled right. This is just a mod not a fix because nothing was broken to begin with. Yes i know Hasbro dose get ti wrong at times hence call them out when they do that but it dose no good to call wolf on everything. I have talked to more people who did the fix to undo the fix later realizing how horrible it has been.
    What I am asking is do not call it a fix it's not a fix to anything it's a mod if you call it a mod i got no issues but a fix it is not.

As for this picture why is the chest vent so far over that is in the wrong position to begin compared to the first picture I posted so flat side up also can be wrong as well besides who says both sides are not flat for this picture since it's been edited.

    I seriously doubt anyone remains at Hasbro that can give us any answers looks like a massive staff swap out has been happening again. The last time was Mid way thru Titans Return line, Trypticon felt the fury of that staff change.

    I never called it either. I called it was it is: an option to do the switch. Did you even read what I wrote? On second thought, please don’t answer that.
    Also, please stop trying to shove your opinion down everyone else’s throat as the absolute irrefutable truth. It’s quite unbecoming and annoying; especially when it’s spread over 4 posts in a row.

    So I'm just going to chime in that my figure would not transform at all before this mod. I could not get the shoulders to lock in in vehicle mode at all. So basically I don't see any way this isn't an assembly error

    Okay hang, I'm coming into this thread for the last time with a public warning: keep it civil.

    I've changed the title of the thread to reflect that it's a "modification" - as the discussion here mostly leans towards this definitely being a modification and only "possibly" fixing something. Those terms are pretty interchangeable in our forum here, but I can see that being a little more accurate given the circumstances.

    Feel free to continue discussing the topics that this subject permits, but do NOT start any more uncivil arguments about anything. If you can't state your points in a respectful manner with other members, they're simply either not worth stating or simply worth stating in other ways.

    Upon further reflection, we don't think there's anything more to discuss here. As with any "mod" or "fix", there's an option for your figures shoulders. Either do it, or don't.

    If anyone discovers anything that's not been discussed here, please PM myself and @ServO We'll evaluate whether or not we need to add it to our tutorial resource.

    As such, we're done here.
