Unicron 25th anni right leg problem.

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.

Re: Unicron 25th anni right leg problem.

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.

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

Re: Unicron 25th anni right leg 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.
