    If not, are you able to post up a photo before you take it back?

    If it is that bit, it looks like the arms would still transform exactly the same, but doesn't look nice with the hollow parts of the grey part on the outside (instead of "hidden" on the inside).
    Yeah thats what it was. Exchanged last night. I had applied scampers decal and it was already started to come off, so not gunna apply stickers. Might order reprolabels ones. Hate the stupid visor gimick mine doesn't stay up unless i put his antenae back. Seen some reviews where it stays up without the antenae being back

    No, they unfortunately do not. When applying them, I find it best to reference their site. Having said that, my last order was about 6 years ago so maybe they do now...

    Someone could actually make a video just on how to apply Metroplex's stickers.

    I was hoping Vangelus would do a V-build on it.

    So I realized with the Hasbro release that once I've attached the arm I won't be able to pack it back in the box? By the tight clamp attachment (I installed it vertically/teeth on sides) I won't be trying to pull the arms off at fear of breakage.

    I love the size of the box but would have rather a wider one to accommodate the other arm.

    It probably would be difficult to remove the arm once it is attached, without disassembling part of the toy to do it... which is a shame for those who want or need to rebox their toys.

    The reprolabels stickers look far better than Hasbros by far. I'll take some more pictures of my Metroplex when I find some time.

    Honestly, taking apart his shoulder to take the arm off is not too difficult. A few screws and gears to put back in right and your set. The gears are pretty simplistic and not too troublesome to put back together. Still, I'd suggest taking a couple of photos when you ppen it up just in case you need a reference
