Maybe one day they'll fix this mold so the torso doesnt try and transform back to a jet every time you move the arms up at the shoulder.

Maybe.

Maybe.

I have the same problem on Sunstorm. Don't have this problem w/ the old MP Seekers though... seems like it could be an issue with the new mould.

Interesting to see that the name plate has his name split into Thunder and Cracker, but the box still has it as Thundercracker

I had the issue with the old Starscream mold too but there seemed to be more friction in the sliding parts that elongate his torso for jet mode in that so it wasn't as pronounced there.

My MP-11 Screamer does it as well.

I haven't opened my MP-11 or MP-11S and after reading this i don't think i will.
I wish they'd iron out these issues before they release them

Good pickup, that is very annoying that they have done that? Imagine having
Star scream, or Sky warp. Thats just dumb. These are promo images, maybe its different on the final product. Ill do some research now...

Thunder Cracker = FAIL!

Good thing you don't have to use the stand... or you could cut out his name off the box and stick it over the top
