	Does the clip actually do anything in jet mode? To the best of my recollection it doesn't - the arms and legs are too close together for the clip to attach. I've scoured the Internet for a picture, and while I can find images of the clip applied in robot mode (after removing the arm armor), I can't find any images of the gun secured in jet mode, Macross-style. I don't have the toy to 100% confirm, though.		Does the clip actually do anything in jet mode?

	About the arms and legs rotating "pointlessly" below their mid-joints: The arms do this so that you can hide the gaping holes in the forearms when you take out the missile launchers, and the legs so that the way it's posed can be more dynamic and/or stable. I recommend changing this it "unusually" since there is a point, just not a very orthodox one.
