I seriously thought I got 2 defective units and I was getting mad looking at peoples' figures from review channels because I felt like my problem was rare. I think the trick is lining up the tab *below* the slot and pushing both up and into the slot. The one on mine still pushes itself out sometimes but when I finally get it right it sits pretty firm.
The reason the shoulder assembly pops out is because of 2 things. The little tab that keeps it in place is very short. You need to make sure it's snug in the slot, but also if you do this quick mod I did with some cutters, this central strut is keeping the beast chest from slotting into the robot back snugly, which in turn keeps the entire shoulder assembly stable as it was meant to. How do I know it was meant to? What else would that tab on the chest be for? and also in the CG renders of the figure before release, it sits snug to the back.
The factory manager did a number on what could easily have been a perfect figure. Between being confirmed that they edited his robot mode teeth to look all fucking goofy and what I assume is adding this central strut, he basically made him have dangly kibble just sitting there creating a ticking time bomb for when you tap it and make the shoulders dislodge instead of securing the whole thing. So stupid. I wish I didn't know that factory managers could do that because now I'm literally going to question every design mistake from now on.
Included a pic of the tab you can trim. As you can see it's an easy fix.
