    Default MP thundercracker loose wing

    I've noticed recently that when my thundercracker is in robot modem his wing is very loose,
    its like the pin that connects the two pieces has come loose, so the win continues to fall backward. Anyone know if or how this may be fixed?

    I'll get back to you once I get a chance to have a look at one of my MP Seekers for reference.

    Ok, I had a look at mine. The wing is being held by two pins in a double joint.

    Which pin is the one in question? The smaller one directly connecting the joint to the wing or the one connecting the joint closer to the back of the torso?

    The smaller one directly conecting to the wing is the one that is loose. The other one is still very tight.

    Is there a part of the pin sticking out of a side? Even if there isn't, with a sharp metal object, are you able to push it out from one side reasonably easy? (be careful)

    Is there any stress to the joint housing the pin like cracks or white stress marks?

    Sorry for the questions but I need to get an idea of the condition the pin is in before I proceed with a detailed repair strategy.
