    It's worth noting that some copies (maybe all, not sure) of this version of Megatron have an assembly error in their knees that causes the figure to lean backwards when in bot mode. It's was a simple enough fix, although it does involve removing pins, and directions can be found online pretty easily. Once it's done he doesn't fall over backwards quite as often.

    Now I have a Miner Megatron, I feel I need a Senate Leader Thatcher-tron for him to face off against.

    I just did the fix and it is pretty straightforward. Made a little improvement on one knee on my copy, but did wonders on the other and their combined efforts means he no longer topples backwards.

    After checking I can see that the knee joints on mine are assembled backwards, but I don't have floppy knees. I looked up a video for the fix, and it only seems to address the looseness; not sure how I can remove and turn the knee joints around without removing the rivets. Doesn't seem worth it for me since the knees on mine are fine.

    Bothers my OCD but.

    The rivets in the thighs were surprisingly easy to push out (just make sure you're pushing the gnarled end out - the vids should show you)
