    Reposting this from another forum...

    Just a heads up for those in this forum. I had heard that skipjack was assembled properly versus the earlier rampage version. In case you aren’t familiar, Rampage was assembled with his black waist piece on backwards- showing his bulldozer detailing in robot mode, and his robot bits in bulldozer mode. Anyway, I got my Skipjack from Pulse, and found mine was assembled wrong, just like Rampage:

Then flip it around and reassemble. With Rampage I used a soldering iron to remove the pins, since they are 1 way pins with a head.
    But this time with skipjack I used my bare hands and pried the parts off. I don’t personally recommend doing that, as you might break something. But it was quicker for me than the soldering iron with a toddler around.

    Sometimes, excessive force IS necessary:D

    Went to target today. Saw 2 skipjacks. Both assembled correctly. Guess I got a fluke.
