Unicron 25th anni right leg problem.

[chamai]

Just picked up Unicron at TRU for $49.99. After i messed around with it, I notice the right leg is slightly "more forward" than the left. if i put both legs together in the standing position, the legs don' align very well. My friend just bought one and his got the same issue. anyone have this issue? damn thing won't stand straight

the legs are not joined together by the pegs on the foot.

Maybe posting an image will help because I did not notice the issue you are mentioning after inspecting my Unicron. When I put the legs together, the left leg is slightly "more foward" (talking about mm here or my viewing angle) but not enough to bother me.

the legs aren't joined together by the pegs on the foot. i just let them loose in the picture.

notice this picture that i googled, the right leg is "slightly forward". sorry i don't know of a better word to explain it.

Well if all else fails, he can always rock the pimp limp.

I'm pretty sure the previous version that TRU sold had the same problem.

I remember one of my legs being funny too, but after I transformed him into planet mode & then back into bot mode, I must have fixed whatever was different about the positioning. Also, and I know this'll seem silly, but look at how all of the joints are, starting with the hip. One leg might just be at a different ratcheting point, the parts might be slightly turned inside, and even if they're not, one might be a little stronger than the other.

Also, look at the knees & feet too, pretty much for the same reasons.

Hmm, after looking at the pictures, my Unicron definitely does not have that issue (both of mine). Maybe try doing what Nomad suggested and transform him to planet mode, see if that corrects the issue.

gonna pick up another unicron today to see if the other ones are like this as well.

just found out my kranix came with no head...

[chamai]

just picked up another one. this one is even worse, the leg joints are quite loose. it still has that leg problem but at least kranix got a head.

[wervenom]

after reading this thread i just rechecked the 3 versions i have. unfortunately or fortunately (depending on your outlook) i don't have that issue but as mentioned earlier the ratcheting system right from the hips down are quite finiky

Could it be similar to the ratchet problem from Hercules? Careful disassembly of the joint could reveal it's simply an assembly problem...

any instructions on how to disassemble the joints?

[Bruticus82]

Could also be mold degradation...Unicron has seen a number of releases.

oh well. for 50 bucks, im not gonna complain, its still a nice toy. got 2 opened now, gonna take some pictures and have one and i am going to have to return the one with the missing kranix head.

side note. there are quality controls issues for sure. the paint job on both of my unicrons are pretty even, but the joint is were this toy suffers. the unicron i bought yesterday had super stiff joints. but the one i picked up today was very loose on both legs, and those wings. even the arm is looser. for people who are looking to buy one, make sure you check for kranix's head. also the loose joints on the legs make it harder to pose,
