An undocumented feature is an extra pair of 5mm holes on the wings that are farther from the body. Placing them here allows the wings to fold in (as the default holes are too close to the hinges).

Swoop comes with Grimlock's Energo sword

Oddly enough, nothing in the instructions or packaging states that the Energo sword is for Grimlock; it's marketed as just another sword for Swoop. Maybe because Studio Series 86 Grimlock is now out of production⸮

Feels good to finally complete a set :)
