The_Damned, or Griffin, does your Bumblebees' 'stinger's fully retract? My one gripe with an otherwise excellent toy is they are always visible in robot mode and don't fully get hidden "up his sleeve" so to speak.
Excellent.
Mostly good.
Average.
Disappointing.
Refuse to buy them.

if you couldnt be bothered waiting for it to load you just have to push them in with a bit of force......

Excessive force (tm) is required?? I will give it a go.

Alternatively you can try shaving a hair off as described in this video - makes it sound easy at least.

My Cybertron OP Deluxe cracked on his shoulders first time I touched them. The ball joints made a "click" sound and then a crack line appeared all the way through the socket.
Has this happened to anyone else? Really annoyed.

Mine are really, really stiff - but no cracks. Can you take them back for a swap/refund? Drag a little kid along with you to make them feel guilty!

I thought I'd see what everyone else has, then I might return him. If it is a design flaw, then there is no point.

I just got Starscream (OW MY WALLET). He is cool.
Pros:
-Awesome and unique jet mode.
-No ginormous undercarriage kibble like Movie Starscream.
-Is quite show-accurate in robot mode within the limits of a toy.
-Can pose really well (fingers!!!).
-Nice colours (even though they aren't totally show-accurate, it's far more interesting).
-Missiles effing rock.
-So does the automorph.
-So does the landing gear.
(Decepti)Cons:
-Some balance problems.
-Issues with stowing the limbs in transformation.
-Problem with back fin-things: they come off too easily, and are way too stiff, for things the instructions say flip out
Despite these flaws, Animated Starscream gets an A.
