    Mine's Hasbro as well. Yours may be a slightly newer run, or a lucky case where factory workers paid close attention down the line. It's pretty sweet that you dont have to mod him!
    The waist feels the same since the fix. The ratchet hasn't pushed back apart so there's still no waist gap (top half is still making contact with the crotchpiece), and it could withstand Devastator's full weight, so I'd say it held up pretty well.

    I'm late on this thread - but has anyone had issues tabbing the shoulders into the torso for robot mode? Those tabs just don't seem to want to stay in place. That means they hinge back outward, which untabs the wheels from the scoop on his back and just causes all kinds of issues. It means I can't pose the arms freely for fear of untabbing the shoulders from the body again....

    Ugh, trying to fix the waist on mine and A) the bottom screw is somewhat stripped, which made it hard to get out (and will probably be hard to get back in), and B) I can't get that flap off of his ass. I feel like this is a sign to just let it lie.

    Long Haul is the best looking Constructicon design in the movies IMO.

    So, the backpack on my Long Haul doesn't really tab in. It holds decently with just friction, but none of the tabs work. Is this common? Is the normal? Or did I get screwed on QC?

    It’s the same for mine as well.

    I took a quick skim of the thread before posting so I'm not bringing up something pointless, but I got conflicting answers. Is it a 50/50 thing?

    I don’t remember when exactly I GOT Long Haul, but I do know it was around when Hightower came out, and I got him in retail. Maybe it’s something that got fixed in a running change, no idea.

    I got mine back in November 2019. I assume the back pack thing was normal because I'd seen a few people talking about it, but I started thinking about it recently, since I'm about to finish Devastator. I just wanted to double check, since it is kinda annoying

    From what I remember, the backpack issue never really affected the combined mode.

    Not really, but I want everything to be good. They may not be in combined mode all the time for me. I'll probably be taking it apart and messing with the individual robots every once and a while

    I really mean I'm focusing more on them since I'm about to complete the set

    Just need Overload. Getting him for Christmas, though, since tonnes of them showed up at my ToysRUs!

    Ah, alright! He was the last one I needed as well (unless we’re counting Skipjack, because in that case he’s the last one I needed.)

    I got Skipjack and Scrapper from a friend at a nice discount, since he lives in the states and has access to the Hasbro ebay page. Overload's been elusive figure until now, though
