    You're welcome, its a very easy fix, basically put him in jet mode, turn the part with his arms on back around so it covers his jet nose, put a rubber band round that part and I used a hard back book to stretch out the band, leave it for a few days and you should be good to go. A hair dryer might speed things up, I wouldnt know.

    How do you get the rubber bands to make that work. Like what position do they have to be in?

    From robot mode pull the chest, and head part forward, and down. Un-peg the arms, and flip them up. Then rotate the back cannon/shoulder/arm assembly so that the hinge part you flipped up is just behind the now empty chest. Then loop the rubber band over the arm, and around the same hinge, pull it though the chest area, and loop it around the foot. That should pull the soft plastic forward bending it though the empry chest area.

    After that, just heat the softer plastic with a hair dryer, that let cool, repeat with the other shoulder and you should have a Generation Blitzwing with very stable shoulders.

    Do you have to take out the pieces during transformation?

    No. I have them, and although they may fall out on the odd occasion during transform, you don't have to. A little dab of glue sorts that problem easy, and they work a treat.
