    So, after all this time is there a decent alternative to the maw issue by now? I've seen covers for the mouth around but they appear hard to find. Painting or putting stickes on it doesn't feel like an option to me.
    I'm surprised we didn't get one of the bigger 3p guys solving this by now. With we all paid I imagine most of of us would be 'ok' with shelling out a few bucks to 'fix' the issue somewhat.

    The Asia release has a japanese booklet included so there is a minor differences. I ended up with one of those due to the route used at the time caused by Hasbro being extremely late in getting official partners globally.

    Outside of a board member on here offering the files for one, stickers and paint have been out only option. Think 3p figure it’s too much hassle. Wish they made one tho…

    Are you sure it's Kanji (Japanese) and not Hanzi (Chinese)?

    I agree with you, but seeing how the MPM-12 upgrade kit costs $55 USD I think a proper fix for Unicron would be very expensive and not enough people would buy it. Unfortunately for us, most people seem to be fine with the maw the way it is.

    Just a correction, that doesn't fix the issue and it certainly doesn't help everybody's problems. The screws will obviously continue to loosen over time from regular posing. As for me, the screws were tight as can be on mine and the knees are still loosey goosey. Any further attempts to tighten are liable to strip the screws, leaving me in an even worse position. I've spoken directly with Hasbro customer service (for a different issue with my Sentinel -- the lights don't work!) and they immediately informed me they were looking into the knee problem. They have gotten calls since they started arriving to customer.
