Obviously older (and reissue) Megs, Brownings etc are in gun mode when packaged so it makes sense to cover yourself as to not lose the money spent on these items.
Dude, MP Megatron was packaged in robot mode. Since 2007 Customs has been cluey about detecting Gunformers in robot mode... so unfortunately the old "pack 'em in robot mode" trick doesn't work like it used to.

Anyway, I've since found out the answer to my 2nd question -- we don't need to bother with the police inspection. Currently awaiting my membership renewal letter, then I can attach it with the rest of the documents to send off for my permit renewal. *phew* Like I don't have enough paperwork to do without this!!
