here is a little post that helped me out.

if you couldnt be bothered waiting for it to load you just have to push them in with a bit of force......

Excessive force (tm) is required?? I will give it a go.

Alternatively you can try shaving a hair off as described in this video - makes it sound easy at least.

My Cybertron OP Deluxe cracked on his shoulders first time I touched them. The ball joints made a "click" sound and then a crack line appeared all the way through the socket.

Has this happened to anyone else? Really annoyed.

[kurdt_the_goat]

Mine are really, really stiff - but no cracks. Can you take them back for a swap/refund? Drag a little kid along with you to make them feel guilty!

I thought I'd see what everyone else has, then I might return him. If it is a design flaw, then there is no point.

I just got Starscream (OW MY WALLET). He is cool.

Pros:
-Awesome and unique jet mode.
-No ginormous undercarriage kibble like Movie Starscream.
-Is quite show-accurate in robot mode within the limits of a toy.
-Can pose really well (fingers!!!).
-Nice colours (even though they aren't totally show-accurate, it's far more interesting).
-Missiles effing rock.
-So does the automorph.
-So does the landing gear.

(Decepti)Cons:
-Some balance problems.
-Issues with stowing the limbs in transformation.
-Problem with back fin-things: they come off too easily, and are way too stiff, for things the instructions say flip out

Despite these flaws, Animated Starscream gets an A.

Very happy with my 2-pack. The deluxe-size Earth mode OP inside is simply beautiful. I wouldn't mind if they release a repaint of him without battle damage. But even with all the battle damage I'm still very happy with mine.
