I found one crammed in the back of a Wal-Mart shelf a couple weeks ago, and I'm just now noticing that there's small stress marks along the purple plastic where the elbow pins are. Is this just my copy? Or have others had stress mark issues?

The trouble is, you'll be judging it via just the image. At that angle the wings looks a bit wonky. But in hand, it's just right. Also, those wings are what makes the flatbed surface of the carrier. It will, the ship , look even more unbalanced if you widen the "wings".
After owning him a few weeks, if there is a complaint, I'd say its the colors in robot and jet mode that's kind of all over. And his wobbly neck connection.
There might be an even simpler, more sci-fi-based solution: The Jet Mode could be considered a "Space Jet", enabling it to defy the laws of aerodynamics as it would instead serve its function within the vacuum of space rather than Earth's atmosphere. Though, not as one of those smaller, one-man piloted space jets, but more as a giant-sized, multi-personnel, space cruiser/warship/starship-type spacecraft with jet-like attributes in its design.Deadput wrote:For me I'm just going to justify the jet mode as a big heavy bomber type vehicle befitting his role as a Wrecker so while it can fly in the air he can't fly very fast or maneuver in the air that well but the trade off is that he can take a lot more punishment the normal flyers and can dish up ridiculous amounts of damage through artillery and missile bombardments.
Which is why he has small wings and all that junk in the trunk for a better example of what I mean google up a video of a Halo Wars Vulture and watch a little gameplay so he acts like that just a little faster then that since he is an actual jet.
Is this a good enough solution for ya guys?

And you know, also because half of both those alt modes are made from the same parts.

So are the two actually the same mold in the vein of Scourge and Highbrow or do they just share some parts such as for example Blurr and Chromedome's knees?

Huh? Scourge and Highbrow are not the same mold. They share a few parts and some inside engineering, but that's it. Repaints are figures that share the same mold.
