    Welcome aboard!

    My suggestion is that you should get report it to your retailer, and see what they can do for you.
    Mine had a stabilizer broken on the rotation pin, i got in touch with TF Robots, they contacted their supplier and got me a complete leg.

    Such a great figure!
    If I didn't have all three main seekers already, I'd want them again!!! Some of the best of what Masterpieces have to offer.

    Thanks for the welcome! I ordered from TFsource and don’t feel too comfortable returning my figure to them for the repair so I’ll live with this one. The cracks don’t seem to be worsening at weirdly enough.

    I get your point, it's totally up to you if can live with that.
    Procedures differ from store to store, but usually returning a product with defect ends with them sending you a new figure, if they still have it in stock.
    On my case I kept my figure, and they sent me a complete leg free of charge.

    Then it's a good thing the writer of the show and movie also confirmed it was Skywarp.

    I am not trying to start something - just genuinely curious where/when this was confirmed?

    1 , he waited nearly 30 years to give any input

    2, he still found a way from making a clear and Precise statement

    3, Even he can’t rewrite history

    There’s more than enough evidence in the film of things getting caught, things that were rewritten before it was animated

    like Wheeljack replacing smokescreen , Which proves they certainly have the time amongst other scenes in the film that were also changed from storyboard to finished product

    That didn’t happen here
    All Flow did was tell us who he wished was used…….And like I said it was almost 30 years after the fact of him basically remaining silent on the issue

    It sounds to me more a guy who’s changed his mind based on fandom reaction than what he may have originally felt at they do d the work

    But either he either really didn’t care at the time or thought the choice was good enough …..either way it wasn’t changed

    The finished product displayed almost 100% but was on the storyboard

    I believe it was an interview he gave last year to YouTube member who is also a member of this site

    It might be a little longer than a year but not very much and like I said he still Try to stay a bit cryptic in the interview I’m speaking about at least But it does seem at the very least he feels Skywarp would have been the better choice but we all know it’s not what they did and it certainly wasn’t an animation error

    Where did you buy it? Any reason you wouldn't just return it as defective?

    That actually looks pretty cool and unique.
    I've seen people remove insignias before, but I'd be very wary of damaging the main black paint underneath. Almost all methods involve some sort of chemical that strips paint.

    Actually you got the lucky draw exclusive “Skywarp whose insignia was torn off by Mirage” in the episode Traitor!

    If he bought it domestic, he can see about getting a new wing
