Things you never realised about Transformers (toys etc)

I just discovered that CW Legends Thundercracker's wings can actually be positioned in such a way in robot mode that they are much more secure and less likely to flap about, if you simply push the whole assembly down so that the connecting strut is on an angle. Works much better in my opinion.

Funny cause I've always been doing this and I never really noticed.

that third mode for Galvatron is pretty neat, I might have to try it out.

I think this is actually new, but if it isn't, I didn't realise it before - the RID Titans are made in Indonesia, which is a country that I don't recall seeing before on a Transformers toy.
It seems rather odd though, as they are still getting toys produced in China and Vietnam, so I wonder why they need another location to make toys... and the most gimmicky ones at that.

IIRC some G2 toys like 1993's Megatron was made in Indonesia

Is the Universe Galvatron actually designed to allow for that 3rd mode, or is it a happy accident?
